    New York City has a lot to offer as of course you know because you don't live under a rock. However, you have to be smart when deciding to make the move. Don't just move here because you're wanted by the cops in your town. Move here for the right reasons! We'll help you out!

    for basically my entire life I've never had the desire to go to new york. but my family and I are going for a few days this summer, so I guess I'll see how I like it. In terms of living there, I don't even know what my passion is yet, so to try and go there to achieve something probably wouldn't be very beneficial to me right now.

    I met Bill Murry, Jon Hamm and his kids, Laura Linney, Danny Glover, I lived next to James Franco, Anderson Cooper... I met/ saw a lot of celebrities in NYC, but then, I was born here. And every time, I'm like "be cool.... be cool.... uhmuhgud... uhmuhgud..." =p

    I visited NY for the first time a couple of years ago and was enamored. I had been way too intimidated (and poor) to go up to that point. Now I've got kids and all this BAGGAGE...it's too late for me, but I support you both 100%!!

But you both nailed all the reasons I love NY and want to move there... thanks for posting this helpful video :)

    Hahaha Akilah funny lol, I stumbled upon this because I'm trying to make the decision to move to NYC for photography vs staying in Nashville, TN. I could make more there, but I'm somewhat well known in Nashville, but traffic is getting worse here and there's no transit system.

    I'm not planning on moving to New York for professional reasons. I just think that NYC has the perfect atmosphere for a guy like me. I've never really been a small town type, which is why I'm dying to get away from where I'm currently living. Is that a good reason?

  • @orangeelliot
    @orangeelliot 10 років тому +4

    Question:
    I want to move to NYC but I don't have a plan. Basically, how much of my life do I need to have figured out before I go? Is it irresponsible to try to move there without definite goals and aspirations?

    • @AkilahObviously
      @AkilahObviously  10 років тому +7

      I would say to have a plan OR be able to adapt easily. When people say NYC is fast, there's no exaggeration. In a day you can be making more money than you've ever made in your life, or you can get fired/kicked out of your apartment/hit by a train. Personally I always wanted to do comedy, and I knew it was possible here, which is 99% of the reason I chose here. So my recommendation is to at least think on it. Figure out if NYC is where you'd flourish :)

    • @paolaschwebel
      @paolaschwebel 8 років тому +2

      Lol I don't have a plan either. I'm planning on moving next year to get away from this boring town.

  • @KarolaTea
    @KarolaTea 7 років тому

    Underground public transport heck yeah :D
    You make it sound like there's no many kids in New York. Which sounds awesome.
    Heck yes I base my life on food. Doesn't mean it can't be healthy. I mean, kale is tasty too... if stewed to death and served with a lot of grease and potatoes. AS IT SHOULD BE.
    Wow, 5$ for a whole meal in a city does sounds pretty damn cheap!
    If you wanna see celebs your place/field of work might be more important than your place of living though ;)

    Hey Akilah,
    Thanks so much for this vid. I've lived in NYC for the past two summers, but now I'm moving there full time this summer to start my adult life. As much as I love the city I don't like a lot of racism that happens (e.g. being followed in stores, stop and frisk, etc). How do you deal with it?
    Thanks,
    Liv

  • @muxajetaptocom

    • @AkilahObviously
      @AkilahObviously  10 років тому +1

      no worries. I mean, I love it here, and sometimes I see the romance and allure, but it's just like anywhere. I feel like the greatest difference between my home and NYC is me and my attitudes :)

    • @muxajetaptocom
      @muxajetaptocom 10 років тому

      Smoothiefreak that's an interesting way to see it, and it makes total sense, I'm the first one to admit I like my-holiday-self much better than regular, I feel adventurous and fearless, and I guess I have just romanticized the whole NYC thing, hoping some of its energy would rub off :P anyway, just rambling, thanks for your words Akilah, much love from morocco :)

    Akela, great video because of it I also check out Beth and Show's channel and am subscribed. You're reasons for moving to NYC seem good and encouraging for people who want to go for their dreams. How much money would you recommend having to move to the city? How do you land, like do you have a roommate lined up or an apartment or just "stand in time square" and figure it out when you get there? Jake

    • @AkilahObviously
      @AkilahObviously  10 років тому +5

      Queens is SO MUCH DIFFERENT than NYC. Well, it technically IS NYC, but I digress. Each borough has its own flavor. I live in Brooklyn, but commute "the city" (Manhattan) all the time. From what I gathered visiting and talking to people, Queens is a great place for families, and there's lots of space. But most young people live in Manhattan or Brooklyn, and it's just a totally different vibe.

    nothing wrong with a life based on food. You have seriously massive pizza, that's totally a reason to move there.:)
    what are the basic costs like, like a thing (quart? i don't know) of milk or loaf of bread?
    Beth told me to watch you, i'm glad.

    • @AkilahObviously
      @AkilahObviously  10 років тому +1

      Hmm, truthfully I didn't see a difference in food prices from grocery stores from when I lived in the south. The biggest difference I think is just cost of living. Rents are high, dining out is expensive, transportation is expensive. Basic food essentials are mostly the same.

    • @djmistiqoofficial
      @djmistiqoofficial 10 років тому

      Smoothiefreak heh sounds like here. i just checked out a site, and apparently it only costs 8% more in nyc compared to sydney. Biggest thing was rent being higher, but food, clothing, and transport were cheaper there.
      ha, it sounds better there now, i wish we had your transport system, tv shows and fast internet.
      OMG now i want to go there more. uuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggggggggg.

Even in the concrete jungle there is a five second rule and I can assure you no true New Yorker is going to walk away from a $20, no matter where it has been. There are two thing native New Yorkers hate: 1.Tourists and 2. People who move to New York.
