I grew up on Long Island am now 25. I have always loved NYC and spent as much time as I could there. Long Island is nice, but there is absolutely nothing to do. My fiance of 4 years who just broke up with me lived there and as long as I dated her, I spent a lot of time there, and I absolutely fell in love with the prospect of living in the city, the only thing is I can't afford it right now. What are the pros and cons of living there, I know I wouldn't need my car anymore.

NYC is a great place to live. The downside is the cost of living relative to housing. My son lives in Manhattan and pays $4200 for what I call a rather average 1.5 BR unit with about 1000 SF.
If you want to cough out $50K a year for a roof over your head, go for it! NYC is a fantastic place.
