My wife and I are Newyorkers (well, to be fair, Newjerseyans) that want to move out West. We love California, both SoCal and the Bay Area, in spite of its warts, and frequently visit. But we realized that despite living right next door to NYC, we haven't really explored it. We might have explored LA or SF just as much if not more than NYC - especially the non-Manhattan boroughs. We've even started visiting San Diego right before Covid hit. I'm not sure why to be honest. I guess the fact that it's just there and available whenever makes us postpone it. While we still want to pack our bags to head out West, we've realized we really ought to take in NYC while we're still here.
