welcome to nyc!! looking forward to hearing more about your adventures and experiences here 💖

when people ask me "what do you do in nyc?" I find it almost impossible to answer because there's so MUCH to do here!

Welcome! Get a library card(s). You can get one for manhattan (NYPL), Brooklyn (BPL) and queens (QPL).

The main branch of the NYPL is one of my favorite spaces in the whole city. The Rose Reading Room is iconic.

I felt all these emotions and thought these thoughts when I moved to nyc during the pandemic, love hearing them from someone else :) Also on #14: new problems means new solutions means new learning -- incredibly powerful.

from someone in sf who is increasingly wondering about moving to nyc, thank you for this: "I’m happy I’m here. I hope it stays this way. And even though it won’t, I want it to stay this way for as long as possible."

love reading posts like this about nyc! as a native new yorker i think often the majesty of it loses its sheen, so it's lovely to see it from the eyes of a newcomer still enamored of it <3

my tip is: don't sleep on queens!
