Top 10 things someone moving from Manhattan should consider

Josh Guttman | July 12, 2007 

The Bergen Carroll staff got together tonight and came up with this list of ten things someone moving from Manhattan should consider before they come.

10. You’ll need to make new friends because your Manhattan ones won’t come to visit as much.

9. It’s much harder to cure late-night munchies (though I’m told the diner at Smith/Bergen is 24/7).

8. Weekend subways are always screwed up and running off schedule.

7. It’s not the West Village….please leave your M. Blahniks at the door.

6. We have a bar - Brooklyn Social Club - that’s been ranked in the Top 100 in the world.

5. Most of our restaurants have outdoor gardens in the back.

4. If you’re coming from Minnesota, it won’t be any warmer because you’ll spend more time outside.

3. Taxis are much harder to find so get used to riding the subway (see #8 above).

2. If a date comes to meet you from Manhattan, there’s a better chance he/she’ll stay the night.

1. We don’t like “Rats”.

    Ha. Nice list and you made me miss New York. Maybe we need a similar top ten for moving from Manhattan to Jerusalem…

    “She’ll” stay the night? God Josh, we don’t ALL sleep with women!

    What if someone’s moving from one of the other boroughs? Or other states? I seem to meet a lot of people from Minnesota here…
