Born in Queens, lived there for 5 years. Moved to Jersey for my education. Still have family living there so we visited multiple times a year. My local NJ Transit bus took us to Port Authority so I went to Manhattan a lot too, like midnight releases for games at Nintendo NY.

Lots of Pokemon games after gen 6, Smash 3DS, Smash Ultimate, probably others. Most of the big ones after fall 2013 since I dormed in Newark for college. I skipped Mario Odyssey, the one with the dance party in Rockefeller Plaza. I was supposed to go to ORAS release since they offered a free copy of ORAS for the first 200 who brought their original Ruby and Sapphire, but my mom forgot to give me her bus pass that day. I'm lucky because after midnight there's 2 buses I can take to go back home so I usually don't have to worry about staying too long. When I dormed in Newark I tried to get home sooner so I don't walk the streets of Newark so late.

Moved from GA to NYC, lived there for a few years, but then moved to L.A.
I loved NYC, I still miss a lot of things about it and would consider moving there again if it made sense for my career (doubtful, but who knows).

What do you miss? What do you do for work?

I miss a lot of things about the culture, nothing was ever boring. Also the food options there were honestly way more authentic than anywhere else I've been.

While I love driving for fun, it was kind of nice not having to in NYC. The subway system is pretty reliable and way cheaper than a monthly car note, insurance, gas, maintenance, etc.

I work in aeronautics for a defense contractor. I think they do have a presence in NY state, but I don't think they have anything directly in NYC.

I've seen and heard enough without having gone there. Rents are stupidly high for tiny apartments that are on the verge of collapse, people are rude and litter all over, the city government makes up any excuse they can to fine businesses out of existence and their public transportation is a joke but not the funny kind.

You can't have seen without actually seeing. Everywhere on the planet has their cons and I'm sure if you "hear" nothing but the negatives all the time you'd never leave your bed.

I went to Ellis Island once for a school trip; got to see the skyline pre-9/11, and the Statue of Liberty.

Haven't visited there since, although I'd like to go again (and do a lot more stuff while I'm there).
