WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE?

I’ve said before that I probably won’t be in New York forever. I love, love, love this city but it’s not where I see myself running my business or raising a family in the long term. In the time that I’ve been writing Design Darling, I’ve lived in rural Pennsylvania, central France, San Francisco, suburban Connecticut, and now New York. Crazy, right?! And I’ve definitely liked and disliked different things about each place. While it’s fun to daydream about where I might end up next, I’m determined to make the most of every single moment I have in this incredible city (having a 101 in 1001 list helps a lot!). Here are a few of my favorite things about New York…

The hustle and bustle. The friends I’ve made. My favorite restaurants. Having my family only an hour away. The dog park in Madison Square Park. The city skyline and sunsets over the Hudson River. How tough people are, because New York practically demands it. All the different neighborhoods. How late everything is open. The first weeks of spring and the two months leading up to Christmas. The feeling that I’ll never, ever run out of new experiences to have here.

Tell me: what do you love most about where you live? The coffee shop where the barista knows your name? Having your own backyard? A fun music scene? Team spirit for your favorite sports? Let’s hear it!!!

P.S. My advice for moving to New York.
