[quote=Anonymous]We moved here because of work opportunity and Dh’s family being here.

I still miss NYC but it’s been 12 years and NYC has changed a lot too so I don’t feel totally ‘at home’ there anymore either.

We live in Vienna, I can walk to the metro and pick one of two buses that go to NYC everyday. I’ve done that quite a bit for a quick weekend away when I need my fix.

I like that my kids are able to bike all around town and have lots of parks and ball fields to spend time in. I like the basketball hoop right outside my house for them too. While I do miss the pizza and bagels, I also have a ton of great food options here. And as I’ve gotten older, I can’t do as much carbs anyway.

I miss Broadway, but go to the a Kennedy center often. There’s great shopping in Tysons and it’s easier to run to a target and to the grocery store.

Enjoy the space you have here and go to the city (nyc) when you need a fix. It’s easy to hop in a bus or train. I used to go more frequently but eventually you do get used to it here and will go less. Driving is fine if you drive at odd hours.
