  • Moving to a new city is a huge life change. If you're an average person wanting to move to New York City in 2024, this video is full of things you should know about the city before you arrive... from the current state of the city to my advice on what it's really like. I am a transplant who has lived in NYC for the last 7 years and have had a ton of experiences here both with roommates and living alone so hopefully you can trust me ;) I'm hoping me sharing these tips can help just one other person in their journey.

    As a born & raised NY'er who will probably grow old here; my advice for anyone that decides to move here is to save as much money as you can and have a back-up plan. This is a fast-paced city and competition is everywhere in every industry. Come here with a logical sense on what YOU have to offer whether it be a content creator, administrative, teacher, your own boss, etc. Try to grow some thick skin. This city is not for the weak as any other big city area. There are nice NY'ers here, but at the end of the day; we all just trying to survive & make it here. There may be rejection; but don't lose hope. Times have certainly changed. As the saying goes; "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere". Good luck to y'all

      I grew up a bit north in Chappaqua. YES. My parents said for NYC: "plan to survive, get creative to thrive". Sometimes choosing to live away from the Manhattan/Brooklyn lifestyle affords someone their sanity and a better living condition. Some of my friends from high school who work or worked in the city use the NJT and MTA from far like Trenton and Peekskill, or Princeton for uni. One I know ferries in on the Seastreak and owns a nice home.

They were like, "You could have moved anywhere else!" -- but NYC feels home to me/us. It's not an easy place to live in, but it has encouraged us to be more grateful... To enjoy the little things... To build our own chosen family who will understand the struggles and will help you along the way (in their own special way).

    THIS IS HOW YOU INFORM!!! 💯 I absolutely love how you’re giving transplants real information about where they are moving to.
    I’m in PA not far from NYC. And we’re effected by what happens there with population growth because people leave the city and move here and just travel for work. So we’re having to keep up with what’s happening there, Jersey city etc. An it’s sad to watch the effects rolling down while so many are still trying to move their without intentions on actually even participating in the city outside of saying “ I moved to NY “.

Like catching up with one of the constellation of friends I had in old North Brooklyn, catching a free outing or house party happening. Running McCarren track early. Pre-Gaming at Rosemary’s Greenpoint Tavern. It’s that perfect treasure trove of memories that I can look back on and say, aww. It’s been a few chapters back, but NYC has really, really cool things no matter which era you jump in on. Enjoy.

    I visited New York for 5 days before the pandemic. One thing I learned is keep it moving. New Yorkers have places to go and things to do. Don't get in their way. One place I fell in love with was the Tenement Museum on Orchard Street. I went back for a second visit. I wanted to do one of their walking tours as well but ran out of time. It's fascinating to see the apartments furnished as they had been in the latter 1800's and early 1900's, and to hear the immigrant stories of ordinary families. It also explains some things about the set up of current NYC appartments in older buildings. If you get a chance Chelsea, you should check it out. I want to go back.

    My two cents to new people: stay vigilant. I don't feel in danger here, but I am cautious about not leaving my purse on the back of my chair at a sidewalk cafe, or getting lost in my phone/book on the subway with no regard to what's going on around me. You just never know who's gonna get on your train car next. Hard agree with the last point: community is everything :)

    I moved to NYC when I was 23 in 2012, and I was so broke and so clueless but it was truly the most fun time in my life. I loved getting to re-live it through your video and hearing what the experience might be like for someone now

    Chelsea, it's so funny that your advice is exactly what advice I gave back in 2005-2008 when I lived there. Hard but fantastic and you need a tough skin to find a good apartment. Very thorough and thoughtful review. My dating experiences were hilariously bad and my favourite bar was Brandy's piano bar where you sing along. I laughed so hard in that place, it was brilliant fun. Most of the museums were free back then so I went all the time and I even treated myself to Opera at the Met. Good times. I transferred with work and was grateful I had work friends to start with that became great friends. I missed my family and best friends but regret nothing about my NYC adventure. 🍎❤

    I have always been fascinated by NYC. Would love to live there but being in my 60's on a fixed income, that will never happen. So I will get my NYC fix by watching your channel. As someone else commented I love when you get out and about. Would love to see more of the inside of a bodega. The couple glimpses in this video I paused to get a closer look. Especially the prices on the menu board. You make videos much differently than most TH-camrs. So much more authentic. Keep up the great job you are doing.

      Love your comment as I can completely relate... As an "older" viewer who hasn't lost my sense of "Could I or couldn't I?" do it, (live in NYC) -and honestly, I still feel like a 20 or 30-something, holding on to that dream, lol. I've noticed there's a large mature female contingency here in Chelsea's Comments. I sense a common denominator amongst a lot of us, echoing your sentiment. I whimsically entertain the idea of forming a group of us who decide to combine our forces. We find a place to share the rent and provide a mutual support system, all while each living out our long held dreams of living in one of the greatest cities in the world! Lol! What an idea, huh?! 😅🤔🤭
      And oh!! I was looking for the cat Chelsea talked about finding in her local Bodega a while back! Diamond? Loved that story...

      @@AlexisBelon i like vlogs too, but a clean with me makes me feel like I'm cleaning with a friend, and also, i can kind of follow aling. Like, if I have been avoiding dishes, but then the person in the video starts doing dishes, it motivates me to do them as well. And not editted or sped up, just doing dishes together in real timw.
