For me, the best part of NYC is definitely the people. No matter what you may have heard, New Yorkers are the greatest people on earth.
The diversity - of people, cultures and food - is the best part.
I moved to NYC six years ago to embark on a new journey. I wanted to escape from the small town life and I came to NYC with big dreams. The best part about living here is all the excitement, the culture, the never ending possibilities and things to do.

I have lived in NYC for 8+ years. I would say the best part about living here in NYC is that there is always something going on. Every weekend there is a new exhibit at a museum or fair or farmer's market to check out.

I have lived in NYC, on and off my entire life. I was born in Brooklyn, went to college in Queens, before eventually moving to Manhattan. I am, to the bone, a New Yorker.

The best part of living here is being in close proximity to theater - both Broadway and off-Broadway, as well as the Metropolitan Opera which I adore.
I have lived in New York City since I was eight years old and the best part about living here are the people of NY. They are a diverse and strong group and one can learn a lot about life from living among them.

I have lived in New York City since 1996. What I love about New York obviously is diversity of activities my daughter and I are exposed to on a daily basis from being able to go to the museums every weekend or walking to the farmer's market to just plain hanging at the playgrounds with friends, it's never a dull moment. And while it's a city of millions, it still has a neighborhood feel with friends only blocks away.

I've lived here for a little over one year. My favorite part of living here is being able to walk everywhere and all of the fabulous restaurants!

I have lived here my entire life. While born and raised in Bayside, Queens, I spent much of my weekends growing up in the city. I have to admit, growing up here, makes you sometimes take it for granted. After surviving 9/11 (I worked at the World Financial Center, next door), my love for the city is renewed. I love the immense diversity of the city, not just culturally but at every turn there is something new and different to discover in the city.

Pretty much my entire life - I grew up in Park Slope, Brooklyn and now live in Manhattan. I can't imagine living anywhere but NYC. There is no best part of NYC for me. I love the mix of ethnicities and the way we truly are a melting pot, I love the subway and buses and the fact that I don't have to own a car. I love that my kids are getting an insanely enriched and interesting public school education because of all of the resources in the city and the cultural institutions. And, as a mom, I love that EVERYTHING delivers!

As of this month, I have lived in NYC for eleven years! The best part of living in NYC is the excitement - there is always something to do, some great park or museum exhibit to take in, amazing restaurants, etc -- the best of everything is in New York, and I feel privileged to live here.

We have lived in NYC for just over a year. New York has so much to offer in terms of culture, activities, and diversions. I love that Peanut is exposed to all this, particularly growing up as a child who is bi-cultural (Chinese and Caucasian). I love that she will never be the only minority in her class, and her neighborhood. I love that she will grow up with a different type of cultural sensitivity than I was ever able to have. She is so fortunate.

I was born in Puerto Rico but have lived in New York City for most of my adult life. It’s become home to me, so much so that I can’t ever imagine myself living anywhere else!
I have lived here for five years, and the best part about living here might be the fact that it is so hard to narrow down which part is the best. I was drawn here by the city's ever-percolating energy, and that is the probably the simplest way to describe all of the things that make living in New York such a rewarding adventure.
