But what about kale chips?
Oh and access to great surfing? And quick access to excellent skiing? Oh and an award winning, internationally renowned wine country?
Now you guys do have cheaper maple syrup, that's probably worth it. And the fog in the summer here definitely ruins those awesome summer evenings that are so plentiful in NY.
(Btw, these are the things I repeat to myself to be ok with the cost of living here)

- bluejekyll 10y agoI was responding to the bagel comment, totally facetious
- Archio 10y agoNJ/NY transplant here, currently living in SF. I went skiing regularly as a kid in the Adirondacks in upstate NY (~4-5 hour drive from NYC). And fantastic Quebec skiing is another 2-4 hours past that. Valid on the surfing and wine country, but there is skiing in the East :)
- bluejekyll 10y agoI grew up skiing in Vermont and all around the North East, the skiing in Tahoe is, IMO, orders of magnitude better.
- cynicalkane 10y agoMaybe you're being facetious about kale chips, but NYC is the world center of hipster gastronomy, if that's your thing (it's not mine, but some people like it). NYC's also got great skiing and the wine is nothing to scoff at. Really, the only thing missing is surfing and "internationally renowned" wine.
- bluejekyll 10y agoI've had NY wine, my parents still live there, and we go out to some of their local wineries... they're better than I expected, but I love Zin, and CA is it's home. NYC's got Skiing, yes, but it's nothing like Tahoe... Not even Vermont, though Mad River Glen, will always have a place in my heart; the Paradise trail and it's little frozen water falls to jump off, great memories there.
