Hi NYC friends! I am considering moving to NYC myself and renting a studio in the city. Interested in hearing which areas/buildings you all choose to live, how much for rent, and how the experience is. Any advice would help! Thanks in advance 😊

Agree with BC1. The w/d in unit will be more difficult to find. I wouldn’t move to Hudson Yards if you’re trying to experience more of the NYC life. It’s pretty boring over there.

Depending on your age and party scene that could mean anything from EV/LES to UWS. Views in NYC mean a high rise so that narrows in down further, and ups your rent. Honestly the best views of NYC are from Brooklyn, LIC, or JC.

I live in forest hills in queens 2b. Very nice neighborhood and building. I have laundry, private parking, and everything I need. We pay $2500 monthly. Probably on the high end of pricing but I have to say having parking is worth it.

Shhhh. Spoilers.

OP - I’m going to be real with you. For that price you are going to have a difficult time finding a place with nice views, great location and in-unit W/D.

Here is my recommendation, choose a location you like. Chelsea/west village is great for what you seem to want. You probably won’t get the view, nor the W/D. For what the W/D cost in those neighborhoods, you’ll probably be best getting a laundry service. At best you’ll get W/D in the building.

One of my favorite things about working from an office is that my team has a strong emphasis on collaboration and communication—we have daily stand-ups and weekly meetings where everyone on the team gets together to talk about what everyone's working on. That's definitely made it easier to stay motivated throughout the week.

Random question-
My company works with influencers who are independent contractors. However they are not managed by anyone on HR and never have been. They would like to part ways and would like me to send the termination email to the independent contractor. Aside from whether this is appropriate, are there any ethical issues Im missing?
If this is a dumb question cut me a break I’m in a ton of physical pain and I cant see straight.
