BS”D
A very happily and voluntarily exiled New Yorker. The only thing I miss from NY (or EY) is the ability to buy sforim, Jewish music albums, tzitzis in my preferred size, and Sukkos and Pesach necessities easily. The rest we have here.
I needed to come back to NY to recharge 4 years ago and stayed and worked 2 years instead of just sitting and learning for 2 – 4 months which would have been a much better plan.
