Q: I’m moving to New York in a few months after college. Any tips on handling the pace? —Catherine, Champaign, Illinois
A: The beauty of NYC is that you can make it whatever you want it to be. Absolutely, one can go at rocket speed but NYC also allows for any tempo you wish. The cultural life is so rich….One can while away hours in museums, galleries and theatrical endeavors and/or attend gallery openings, fashion shows, book signings. Decide what pace you want and go for it. Another NYC plus, you can always change your pace and path. Enjoy it as you wish!
