I was born and raised in Queens, NY - spent my summers in Southampton and worked in Manhattan for many years until I was tranfered to Richmond, VA for work. I miss New York so much and would just LOVE to have an apartment in Manhattan and a house in the Hamptons on the water - that would be just a dream come true!!! Once you live in NYC - there is no place that compares!
I lived in NY all my life before moving to VA. We lived in an 800 square foot - 1 bedroom apartment with two kids - we all slept in the same room. It is tight but it is all what you are accustomed to...
I was born and raised in Queens, now living in Virginia. I would move back to NYC in a minute!!! I am putting reminders on my calendar to enter every single day. The W Down Town is a great hotel in a great location. I miss the city that never sleeps!!!!
