9. Apartment hunting is a breeze
10. Tampa


Things I Don't Miss About Florida:
1. The weather (when it gets to be that 100% humidity and extremely hot temperature)

10.

Things I Would Miss About New York:
1. The diversity and availability of everything (and diversity of people to meet)

5. Broadway is steps away from my office
6. Things get released here earlier (magazines, movies)
7. The shopping (that I haven't had a chance to partake in)

9. My job
10. Being able to do my own thing walking down the street and no one cares because they're doing their own thing

1. Times Square
2. Having to commute so far to work (actually not so bad anymore since I've moved)
3. The traffic (both foot and automobile)

5. It's expensive
6. It's crowded (read: on the train)
7. The trash that seems to be everywhere
8. Not being able to call people on my commute to and/or from work

4. I am awake by 7 AM during the week
5. Around 10 PM I get tired and consider going to bed
