[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the reddit poster lived in Chicago she would be in a city with 90% of NYC's cultural offerings and could have a great house in the city (or in the burbs on public transit) and be able to afford private school (or send her kids to some of the best public schools in the country). The winters are bad, but NYC winters are no picnic either.[/quote]

Please keep in mind she is in Carroll Gardens, not the West Village or UES. It’s not some art and culinary mecca. It’s pretty mid and far from the action. If anything she may be in a hipper area in Chicago. [/quote]

Caroll Gardens is so much nicer and more livable than the UES (which is honestly kind of disgusting and boring as hell east of Park) and West Village (overrun with influencers).[/quote]

DP, totally agree.  Besides, NYC is huge, and there is no single place that counts as “art and culinary Mecca”.  I am not much of a foodie, but if you want to keep up with the art stuff, you 1) should expect to get on the subway and 2) not necessarily want to live with 3 kids where all the action is - too many a-holes visiting.

UES has many Michelin stars, the Frick, the Met, Cooper Hewitt, neue, Guggenheim. It is the Mecca [/quote]
