Moving always causes anxiety, so that is normal. But how far up town are you moving? When Dave and I visit we use to stay at the Excelsior by the MONH, and we'd walk to Time Squarefrom there most of the time.

Honey, back in November I moved from Florida to DC to an apartment I had never seen, to a job I wasn't even sure existed and to a city where I knew nobody. You want to talk about moving anxiety??? lol
It'll be fine. Just keep saying "I'm saving a ton of money. I'm saving a ton of money"

Okay....
You can rent rooms in Harlem for like $80-100 a week.
I don't know how 'safe' it is, but I know a lot of people who do it.
Personally, I'm content in my location (I'm near Lincoln Center)... I know you can get much bigger places for cheaper up in Washington Heights, etc., but for me it just seems too far away. I have to be in the midst of it all.
Don't worry about the anxiety... that's totally normal. I know a lot of people who live up there (assuming thats where you are... because if you're near me and referring to that as uptown... trust me... I walk to times square ALL the time)... it's a nice area. You made a good decision... and remember... nothing lasts forever. It's only for now. :)

Yeah, that is a way. In good weather it will be fine but come winter, or rainy days that would be a bit far to walk.

Once you move and settle in, you will be fine. If not, you can move again. :)

Posted: 6/1/04 at 10:12amA couple of years ago I temporarily (6 months) lived at 109th and Central Park West. Whenever I left the apartment to go to work, I'd say to my roomie "I'm heading into town now"...he always laughed - but it felt so far away. The commute isn't bad at all on the B,C lines...maybe 20 minutes. I just moved back to Hell's kitchen (48th and 9th) over the weekend and it took me 15 minutes total to walk to work - gotta Love that!
