The competition between DC and Israel (or possibly somewhere on the West Coast, where people are chiller and the weather is nearly always better) is one reason I haven't left NY yet.<BR/><BR/>But there are other reasons. I've been using the blog to vent some of my frustrations about living in NYC, but some reasons I am still here include:<BR/>1. a job I like on a salary I can live (but not save) on<BR/>2. living close to my grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousin, and brother is an enormous blessing<BR/>3. great roommates (rare for me)<BR/>4. a lot of friends from different parts of my past, all living within a few miles of me<BR/>5. many suitable davening options, everywhere I go, all the time<BR/>6. many suitable kosher eating out options, everywhere I go, all the time<BR/><BR/>Maybe I will put these in a separate post sometime.Abacaxi Mamaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604184268628243496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11850330.post-1145980307750061842006-04-25T11:51:00.000-04:002006-04-25T11:51:00.000-04:00Hey, I'm totally with you on reasons not to be in ...Hey, I'm totally with you on reasons not to be in NYC.
