New York or North Carolina?

I have lived in upstate NY and NC. I will take upstate NY any day. I found the majority of people in NC to be cold and aloof. NY people were friendly.

I live in NYC. I've never been to North Carolina but I heard it's peaceful there(I gues). I would suggest NC even though, it doesn't mean I'm not being loyal or I hate where I live but there are many problems here.

Do not move to North Carolina. Take it from a guy that lives in NC. It is boring and it is so racist here. I would live in NY any dya of the week. Also if you are a guy there are not a lot of females here in NC. There are nothing but guys down here in the NC. The only place to go party here in the in NC is Raleigh. The rest of the cities are pretty boring. Even Charlotte. Take it from me don't move to North Carolina. I am on my way out as we speak.

Its all about how you were raised. NYC is the best city in the world, I've traveled to almost everywhere in the country and have been to many cities in foreign countries. With all the hype comes the cost because I blow $200 a day easy when I go into Manhattan. I would suggest an apartment in Queens if you like being around people a lot. Its a half hour form Manhattan and much more laid back. (half the price too)

I was born and raised in NYC, and I live there now. I have also lived in many of our states (including NC) and several other countries. If I had to choose between NY & NC, I would live in NC because the weather is milder, they have a decent job market and the standard of living is so much lower than NY, (meaning it's cheaper to live there). However, NY is better for people with disablities, as city and state agencies take better care of you both financially and medically than any other state in the union. So, since I've become disabled, I'm kinda stuck here. Hope this helps.

NYC is is the best and people are not a**holes. I don't think that you have ever really been there.

People in NY are not assholes. I say NY because there is so much more to do there and you would not have to worry about your car breaking down because of mass transit.

Hi, I'm living in NC about 5 years, and is good, the only bad thing is the weather,(is crazy) but you can find a lot of things to do here, is cheaper than NY, the people is very nice, is very country, but in cities like Charllote and Raleigh , Durham you can find good deals.

Why Go: Trip Ideas

Raleigh-Durham, NC: Totally Triangular Triple Play
Along with Chapel Hill, the cities of Raleigh and Durham comprise The Triangle, and you'd be a square not to avail yourself of the region's Southern cooking, sports teams, and watering holes.
The real deal: For an unlawful amount of lip-smacking Southern calories, Crook's Corner has a lock-down on the best shrimp and grits, country ham, buttermilk biscuits, hush puppies, and frozen mint juleps--need we say more? Later, be sure to cue up at the Q Shack for epic amounts of barbecue, such as chili-rubbed beef brisket and hickory-smoked pork butt with slaw.

Give it the old college try: Duck into Duke and discover that ivy isn't only for the Northeast. Or, walk the U.N.C. Chapel Hill Campus to see the old well, bell tower, and eponymous chapel. Follow it up with a visit to Sutton's Drug Store for the perfect hit-the-books recipe: old-fashioned milkshakes and diner food.

Where to blow a paycheck: Like Kasparov and Deep Blue, Bugs and Elmer, Ishmael and Moby Dick, the U.N.C. Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils represent one of the most storied rivalries in sportsdom. If you've got about $200 to score tickets to one of these heated games, you're in for a slam-dunk night of passion, cheerleading antics, and copious face/body paint.

Editor's favorite watering hole: Located above the famous, 40-year-old Angus Barn, the Wild Turkey Lounge welcomes you with wing-back chairs, fireplaces, and a collection of turkey-shaped whiskey decanters (as every good watering hole should). Go with the whisky flow and ask for a stiff pour of Wild Turkey to enjoy with the homemade cheese, crackers, and pickles.

History lesson: Although cigarettes are no longer manufactured here, Durham's tobacco district is no smoke screen--it's filled with buildings historic to the trade. The American Tobacco Factory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and dates back to 1874, and the smokestack and water tower now host summer concerts.

Where the locals go: Don't worry--it's all legal fun at White Collar Crime, set in the warehouse district. Summer nights make the patio seats popular, but there's always indoor couches and bar stools upon which you can plant yourself to drink your favorite brew. If you're there on the weekend, give a shout out to DJ Mooney.

Chill-out spots: After a night out on the town, spend the next day in the Great Outdoors. Go picnicking, hiking, fishing, or horseback riding among the pine trees and streams of Umstead Park. Or, take your trip afloat during a rafting, canoeing, or kayaking sojourn along the scenic Eno River, which drops 250-feet over its 40-mile course

I believe that you have nice people in both states. People in the state of New York are as nice as anywhere. The exception of course is New York City. I have traveled all over the world and 49 states, no where did I find ruder more nasty people than in NYC. No doubt about it, NC has better weather and much nicer friendlier people in the whole state. The cost of living is cheaper. Charlotte has a lot going for it. Give me any place in New York State or North Carolina, just don't ask me to live in NYC.

New York is definitely the place to be. Especially when you want more diversity and a place where people certainly thrive. In my opinion, New York City (or upstate) seems to be more alive, in a way. You may stay in North Carolina, if you want to live amongst retired elderlies. But, not all places in North Carolina are like that. Charlotte and Raleigh are also well-known cities. But, compared to NYC, it might as well be the country side.
