Another grocery tip, especially for folks who are just shopping for themselves. If you can swing by the grocery store after work on your way home (one that is en route, or not crazy out of the way), take a backpack and get essentials when you run out. It is honestly less of a hassle when you go more often and get what you need right before you run out that given food. And it's more cost-effective. If you go less frequently and are taking a cart for this grocery run journey, it's easier to get more stuff than what you reallyyyyy need because a part of you is thinking you have a whole cart to fill and 'im already needing to lug all this home, so might as well take this just in case?'
Yeah, I usually shop that way living in NYC but not now due to the coronavirus. Trying to reduce the number of times I'm in one. Plus in stores like TJs, they are so damn crowded, a cart makes it even more of a hassle weaving around and every other person looks annoyed at you. That said, you're potentially saving time over the long run by going less often if you typically shop at TJs or WFs where the wait time can be 15min.
I really like the fact that were straight up about living here. i really want to live here and im glad i found your video where you were just honest about everything.
Great tips!! but a major tip I think you left out is money. before moving to New York you should have AT LEAST $5000 cash (for food ,rent, & utilities. And another thing, make sure and put a data plan on your cellphone , especially if you don't know the City well, so in that case you can use maps and download apps to get your self around NYC with getting lost!
i’m going to university in NYC and i’ve been obsessed with manhattan for years. Just wanted to get a reality check so i don’t get my hopes high and prepare for a new living.
Just would like to do say that you seem like a lovely person! It’s so obvious when a person is genuine in their video and it’s so refreshing! Subbed :)
I live in Downey California, is sunny everyday, my grocery store is two blocks away, I get to work in 15 minutes, I have a car in my driveway, I rent a 2 bedroom house for $1,500.00, my doctor is almost across the street. I will go to New York........to visit.
Most of us New Yorkers shop online (MaxDelivery or Instacart) and get our groceries delivered. It's too much of a hassle dragging groceries through the streets in a cart...especially in bad weather. You pay a small delivery fee but it's worth it.
Thanks for the video. This video is for students and young aged workers though, and not for people who have a family, middle aged and are looking to buy a place in the city.
Yea.. Could never do NY..I grew up in Los Angeles.. So it was all I knew.. Thought it was crazy but it was all I knew.. Moved to Colorado for a couple years and my world changed.. Was so nice not to deal with traffic or people.. had to move back home due to covid. Holy jeez does it make you realize how CRAZY major cities are. Can't wait to get out of here and go to the middle of nowhere lol. Not complaining.. I'm extremely lucky I have a family that was supportive.
Hope you find your way back to Manhattan. Seems that you really love the City. I love visiting it but after 2 weeks it gets annoying. Especially because of all the uncomfortable things like not having a car, parking space or living space. Still it’s the best city in the world. Though not the most practical. So, if you ask me if you wanna live in NYC: just don’t. Find a b city where there are plenty of grocery stores, they have parking and you can pay 1000 dollars a month for a decent rent.
Another comment already said it, but right now, coronavirus is the top one for me. Although it crossed my mind in the worst case scenario NYC would be bad for something like that, I never really expected I'd be here when and if it happened. Been here long enough and was looking to move out before this happened, now really regret not doing so. Anyway, agree with all of your points and thanks for making the video!
Hi Jessica, v cute vid and goos tips. I'm a photographer and live and work in NYC. Been here for awhile and love the good and the bad haha Happy to connect! xx
If any of y’all are considering moving here to NYC make sure u are financially stabled !! I’m so fucking serious !!! To live comfy u have to make at least $85,000 and more !! And that ain’t shit !! Smh lol good luck to everyone !
Jessica I have some questions I'm trying to move to Brooklyn a year from now in August 2021. I live in Houston tx currently right now. What are all the requirements for me moving there? Texas is very different from Brooklyn. Could you please help me?
Hi I have a question my friends said don’t move to NYC they have spider in your bathroom they also have spider in your luxury apartment is this true because I really need to know if my friends are telling me the truth
I live in North east PA, with family all over NY. Manhattan, Bronx, Ronkonkoma, upstate, Rochester, Queens, Harlem, Staten Island, etc etc. It’s not what it hypes up to be. It’s definitly cool to visit, but to live there? Unless you’re already rich, chances are you’re not gonna have a good time.
You're very cute, and the jumping around make me physically ill. Most beginners will edit and edit and edit and edit which is hard to watch. I think I watched 2:32 and I couldn't handle the poor filming. Get all your thoughts together before you start filming.
Love your optimistic but realistic take on this video! Still daydreaming of living in the Big Apple one day 💛
Hi Selena, I'm making vids what is like to a female photographer in NYC. Hope you check it out
We share the same dream ❤️

Good tip, thanks.
Great advice. I'm still moving to NY after this virus situation calms down so these tips really help. Thank you.

Omg once you move can you tell me how it is?🥺 I wanna move in a year or so
I’m moving too on August 1st n I’m so nervous to do that

Hey Claire, I'm making vids what is like to a female photographer in NYC. Hope you check it out and maybe you find something helpful
What scares me is the rent. I always wanted to live for a few months there but omg it's so expensive and I live in Paris 😅
it is! i was surprised how paris is more affordable vs nyc. at first thought, you would think it's about the same
I love Paris!! Used to live there. But quite expensive too. I'm making vids what is like to a female photographer in NYC. Hope you check it out
Doesn’t New York have cheaper income tax?
I wish I knew that a virus was about to shut the whole city down lol
right. so sad and scary.
It is heartwarming to see your dedication to the public good, it really is! Take care and stay healthy!

Cheap apartments in Manhattan are $1900 now, and renting a room (Harlem) is typically around $200-$250 a week. Prices went up.
A fair amount of the colleges I'm looking at are in NYC and I've been living out of small towns my whole life, so I really appreciate this.
Thank you so much for making this video. My goal is to move to New York after I graduate college next year
i’m going to university in NYC and i’ve been obsessed with manhattan for years. Just wanted to get a reality check so i don’t get my hopes high and prepare for a new living.
Ahhaaa samee I’m 9 grade but that my dream I wish come true ☺️
Just would like to do say that you seem like a lovely person! It’s so obvious when a person is genuine in their video and it’s so refreshing! Subbed :)
Great tips! I love NYC but I can't deal with temperatures below 50 degrees. I love your blazer!
Thank you for your honest sharing about NYC living situation ❤️
You are so welcome!
Hi Glenda, I'm making vids what is like to a female photographer in NYC. Hope you check it out
me watching this with no intention of moving to nyc : 👁👄👁
(I still love ny though)
Literally same 😂 I been watching nyc videos for an hour because when I do finally move out it won’t seem so stressful compared to nyc
I don’t live in New York but me and my best mates decided that when we are older we are gonna go to Manhattan because it’s like our dream to go there
Ok, I’m wanting to move there next year but the mice thing is scary. 😯😯😯
Great video! I also moved to NYC alone to work for a fashion ad agency. What a wild ride that was....!! Happy New Year to all x

Downey is so great, I’ve only been there a couple times but it felt like the perfect place to live in la.😁
Most of us New Yorkers shop online (MaxDelivery or Instacart) and get our groceries delivered. It's too much of a hassle dragging groceries through the streets in a cart...especially in bad weather. You pay a small delivery fee but it's worth it.
Yes it's so smart! In my experience of doing Instacart I've had caterpillars in my veggies and rotten food and so that kind of scared me for life LOL.
Thanks for the video. This video is for students and young aged workers though, and not for people who have a family, middle aged and are looking to buy a place in the city.

Pretty insightful video thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your honesty. I appreciate your sincerity. Great video!
Love your outfit!!! It's so cute!
Thank you!!
This was super helpful thank you so much!!
Dude that grocery situation has already secured my decision never to move to NYC, fuck that.
It is def a huge part of the lifestyle and it's something everyone has to decide on. Super stressful esp when you live in a 5 floor walk up haha
Hope you find your way back to Manhattan. Seems that you really love the City. I love visiting it but after 2 weeks it gets annoying. Especially because of all the uncomfortable things like not having a car, parking space or living space. Still it’s the best city in the world. Though not the most practical.

Yayyyyyy can’t wait to see what you say!!!

Jessica I have some questions I'm trying to move to Brooklyn a year from now in August 2021. I live in Houston tx currently right now. What are all the requirements for me moving there? Texas is very different from Brooklyn. Could you please help me?
I'm planning to move there! 💕

Whatsoever, moving or living in New York would never mean to be an effortless task!!!!!
I walk everywhere im homeless so new York sound like the state for me
Hi I have a question my friends said don’t move to NYC they have spider in your bathroom they also have spider in your luxury apartment is this true because I really need to know if my friends are telling me the truth
Where do you live now ?
If this video doesnt mention the Garbage (and smell) and the Piss/Poo (and smell)... its not honest about NYC.
❤️ A New Yorker
I'm from Seattle so I'm pretty accustomed to the smell of cities, so it has never bothered me or really occurred to me.
I love you !
It's like California. But you can have a car or not.
okay, I don't want to live there anymore, thank you.
man had in
I don't care about the rent but im scared of the creepy guys in the streets haha
I’m the opposite 😂
Idc bout creepy guys I’m scared about rent and how I’m gonna move there 😂
I live in North east PA, with family all over NY. Manhattan, Bronx, Ronkonkoma, upstate, Rochester, Queens, Harlem, Staten Island, etc etc. It’s not what it hypes up to be. It’s definitly cool to visit, but to live there? Unless you’re already rich, chances are you’re not gonna have a good time.
*What i new before moving to nyc* the
pizza is not as good as you think
People are rude
And ITS DIRTY AS HELL
End of the video
People aren’t that rude there lol people just don’t like you talking to them. Depends on where you go the pizza can be awesome! And yes it is dirty
It’s dirty everywhere 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, not sure why anyone who doesn't have to would live in NYC.
Some people like stinky fondue
everyone is different!
Don’t ever move to CT 😂😂😭
Nyc sucks you have to make 5 thousand dollars a week to live there
New york seems like the worst
i live in new york and i hate seeing these rich people in the expensive neighborhoods living unrealistic lives
It sounds like a like a dreadful existence
Man-had-den...
If you don’t like it leave my city is the greatest city in the world
Manhattan isn’t nyc baby that’s a boring borough
Schlepping haha, Jewish huh?
