NYC is perfect for young and single or even young couples. There are lots of things to do. (Manhattan I believe has something like 12000 restaurants alone) If you are a culture vulture, there are a lot of museums and cultural events all year round. There are also a lot of bars and clubs in the city as well. There is tremendous diversity in the city also. The dating scene here is great because of the amount of people here. Pretty much, I think it is tough to be lonely over here. NYC also encompasses a big area. We have 5 boroughs that are each a little different.





The cons-Really expensive. The outer boroughs (Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Bronx) are less expensive, but are still expensive. Also, renting a place will be difficult, especially if you don't have a rental history. The way that apartments figure rent is they take the monthly rent and multiply it by 40 to 45. That is how much you need to make a year to qualify. (Ex.- rent is 1000 a month, they multiply it by 40, so you need to make $40,000 a year at least.) Also, it is crowded. Sometimes, maybe you want peace and quiet. You won't always get that here. Crime is also here. There aren't running gun battles like in the early 90's, but you have to keep your wits about you to keep yourself from being a victim. The subways, although cheap and reasonably efficient can be very crowded, sometimes smelly and dirty.





The main gripe in the city is it is expensive. If you can hustle and make your money you will have a great time here.
