diamond--where do you live in NJ? We''re thinking of moving there, and looking for some nice towns.
i think if i didn''t live in the NY area, I would consider So Cal...not LA so much, but a nice beach town (like TG describes!).
Zoe: Living in NYC really isn''t as daunting as you may think. No need for the car since everything''s easy to get to and of course we have grocery stores every few blocks (and there are Trader Joe,s, Wholefoods here too). It''s not like most people live in the middle of Times Sq or Rock Center, which is what you might be imagining. It does get suffocating at times with all the people and concrete, but then again everything and anything is at our fingertips (all kinds of foods, every major store/headquarters/tv studio) and we don''t have to deal with a commute every day (which is probably a couple of hours a day saved!). When there''s a show at Madison Sq Garden, we just walk over. Or if we need something at Macy''s, it''s 10 blocks away. But of course, we don''t have a lot of space--and once you''re married and thinking long term, space becomes more important, so we''re looking to the ''burbs which is what most couples do as well!!
