My favorite is Austin,Tx.
August 15, 2014 12:57 am at 12:57 am #1028852To be or not to beMemberWhat is out of town? For a brooklynite , Washington heights is OOT, for a NYC-er Monsey is out of town. In any case it would have to be Toronto, nicest people in the world
August 15, 2014 1:38 am at 1:38 am #1028853zahavasdadParticipantParis
I hated Paris, but the Jews of Paris were the nicest Ive ever encountered
August 15, 2014 1:59 am at 1:59 am #1028854UncleMoParticipantParis is “out of country” not “out of town”.
Anyone know anything about Houston, Texas? Sounds like a beautiful place to live only a bit more on the Young Israel side of things. Not sure if I’m up for that. They may be more ehrlich than ME but I’m unsure I wanna bring up my family in what’s “considered” a more “modern” community. Notice all the quotation marks?!
August 15, 2014 2:01 am at 2:01 am #1028855UncleMoParticipantEconomy is supposedly fantastic in Houston, cost of living WAY lower than the NY/NJ metro area. If it was a more “heimish”(I live in Lakewood-wear colored shirts!! so I’m not your “typical” Lakewood person….) community, I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute.
August 15, 2014 2:57 am at 2:57 am #1028856jewishnessParticipantUncle Mo: Can I be you?
August 15, 2014 2:57 am at 2:57 am #1028857👑RebYidd23ParticipantIf it’s a community, it’s not out-of-town! Out-of-town is maybe in the desert. (A desert is no longer desert when it is inhabited.)
August 15, 2014 3:17 am at 3:17 am #1028858UncleMoParticipantJewishness: huh???
August 15, 2014 3:21 am at 3:21 am #1028859I. M. ShluffinParticipantWhat I find funny about the term Out Of Town is the connotation that New York is a town. It’s anything but.
But since I will abide by your language in contributing to this discussion, because I’m nice that way, then I gotta say that my favorite oot community is cleveland. I went there once, and promptly wrote on my to-do list to move to cleveland. I’m not sure why, now. There was something so nice about it.
August 15, 2014 4:17 am at 4:17 am #1028860MalbimMemberIs there anybody on YWN here that likes Austin.
August 15, 2014 1:08 pm at 1:08 pm #1028861apushatayidParticipantMork calling Austin, come in Austin.
August 15, 2014 10:11 pm at 10:11 pm #1028863yehudayonaParticipantTo Brooklynites, Austin Street in Forest Hills is OOT.
August 15, 2014 10:40 pm at 10:40 pm #1028865writersoulParticipantWhich brings me to my pet peeve, all of those people who call Monsey “upstate.”
Forgetting about the fact that event the Catskills aren’t upstate, Monsey most definitely isn’t. The main frum shopping area in Monsey (306 and 59) is five minutes from the southernmost point of non-island (contiguous?) New York State.
(Can’t you tell that I’m really fun at parties?)
That said, I like Silver Spring. I’ve only been there a few times but every time it’s seemed really nice.
August 15, 2014 10:47 pm at 10:47 pm #1028866MyTurnAtBatMemberCleveland. Love the Midwest.
August 17, 2014 1:54 am at 1:54 am #1028868funnyboneParticipantMy favorite is Flatbush. Not too far from BP, with lots of pizza stores and restaurants. Has some good Yeshivos and some shtiblach, but not totally out of town like some of those other places.
August 17, 2014 4:23 am at 4:23 am #1028870👑RebYidd23Participant“Out of town” is like “across the pond”.
August 17, 2014 4:42 am at 4:42 am #1028872yehudayonaParticipantMalbim, how many kosher pizza shops are there in Austin, TX?
August 17, 2014 4:50 am at 4:50 am #1028873MalbimMemberyehudayona, he have something better than that a kosher Indian restaurant.
August 17, 2014 5:05 am at 5:05 am #1028874lzParticipanti like chicago a lot. it has the advantages of being a huge city (shopping, education, food, etc) but also the advantages of being oot (friendly and close knit) there are so many shuls and schools, you are sure to find one that is your “type”
and it’s a pretty nice looking place too- there are actually trees and parks and the lake (lake michigan)is gorgeous- i’ll plead the fifth on the chicago river 🙂
and just for the record, i don’t live there. i used to though
August 17, 2014 5:21 am at 5:21 am #1028875MalbimMember1z, were you born there.
August 17, 2014 12:51 pm at 12:51 pm #1028876takahmamashParticipantEverything outside of Israel is OOT.
August 17, 2014 7:45 pm at 7:45 pm #1028877MalbimMembertakahmamash, that means u too.
August 17, 2014 9:16 pm at 9:16 pm #1028878funnyboneParticipantTexas, how hot is it down there? I couldn’t move anyplace that is hotter than the NY summer, or colder than the NY winter. Now, can you find me a place that has all the conveniences of NY and nicer weather?
When I say conveniences, I mean shopping, food, schools (where kids aren’t obsessed with TV, latest movies and pro sports), shuls (with a full mechitzah), job opportunities and humans to have as friends.
I get it, it’s inconvenient to look for parking. We have enough humans to interact with that we ignore our neighbors. We don’t have enough parks. We have everything else!
I rest my case, all you OOT people can stay OOT and leave us alone!
August 17, 2014 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm #1028879👑RebYidd23ParticipantWhy always a comma?
August 18, 2014 2:48 am at 2:48 am #1028880MalbimMemberRebYidd23, live in Austin,Tx
August 18, 2014 7:35 am at 7:35 am #1028881takahmamashParticipanttakahmamash, that means u too.
Malbim, you obviously have no idea where I live.
August 18, 2014 12:42 pm at 12:42 pm #1028882Prankster-123MemberCincinnati….
Iv’e got non religous cousins there, but turns out the religous community there is really cute and sweet,and all country like…
August 18, 2014 6:03 pm at 6:03 pm #1028884YW Moderator-42ModeratorIf you enjoy humidity, move to Houston
August 18, 2014 7:09 pm at 7:09 pm #1028885Rashi4EverMemberMalbim, is right about Austin,Tx, here is a link to prove it http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/forgetting-to-close-the-fridge-light-before-shabbos#post-532093/

August 18, 2014 9:12 pm at 9:12 pm #1028888oot for lifeParticipantis there an eiruv?
August 18, 2014 9:42 pm at 9:42 pm #1028889Rashi4EverMemberoot for life, it is in the works.
August 19, 2014 5:11 pm at 5:11 pm #1028891Baruch10901ParticipantActually having to spend a shabbat near NYU Medical Center I found myself in a shul on E 29 St. It really felt like “an out of town shul” especially the tuna and concord grape wine at the so called kiddush
