Moving to New York City: Know this


Living in New York City is great but before you become a new transplant in the city, you need to know a few things about life in the city.
  • New York is a city for all ages; you don’t ever have to grow up. 80-year-olds walk the street at 2 a.m. looking for a coffee shop; parents still go out and maintain some semblance of a life. The people living here operate on the pleasure principle.
  • You can have the best food or anything else for that matter anytime of the day or night at your doorstep.
  • New York people are full of aspirations. People maintain serious work ethics. There is nobody who is doing ‘nothing’ in the city. Everybody is working.
  • New York people are driven by passion for life. They want to drink life to lees. They want to make most of their youth.
  • New York City has everything for everyone. It is a hub of endless activities.
  • New York offers you the opportunity and privilege of watching/learning/tasting some of the most inspired art/theater/food from people everywhere, putting their best forward.
  • The comedy shows in New York are a hit where celebrity comedians show up every now and then.
New York has everything in terms of culture, dining, shopping and education. Moving to a great city as New York is great, but the process of shifting may be irksome and may cause anxiety to many. Thankfully there are some reputed moving companies in New York which make moving an easy and convenient experience.

Make movement easy with these pre-moving tips


Are you planning to move to a new location? Is the idea of movement giving you jitters while thinking that you may miss out many essential aspects? Stop worrying! With some effective moving tips to be followed before moving you can assure yourself a smooth movement.
  • Connecting your internet in advance is necessary because living in a new house without internet can be very frustrating and inconvenient.
  • Disconnect the energy in the previous tenants’ name and reconnect it in your own name. It’s important just before you move so that the previous tenants won’t be charged for your energy usage and vice versa.
  • Keep a plan ready for your young children and pets. Decide in advance what they will do on the day. A friend or family member can help out so that you can focus on organizing the move.
  • Update your friends and relatives with your latest address and new phone number so that important people in your life can contact you when you start living at your new residence.
  • An unpacking box containing allen keys, any tools you might need to construct furniture, labelled ziplock bags with screws from furniture you dismantled in the move, scissors, screwdrivers, masking tape, dust cloths and glue, should be the first box to be packed.
Moving an entire household can be a difficult task. Where do you even start? With the above mentioned checklist and a professional help from renowned NYC movers you can organize your movement well.

Moving can be Fun for Kids

Moving is a tiring and difficult job. But there’s surely someone in your family who might actually enjoy it? Yes, your kids can have wholesome fun and adventure, if moving is presented in a creative and playful way. Let’s check out some ideas which you can use to make moving fun for your kids and hence, a little easier for you.

Have Fun while Packing
Make up a funny song for your family to sing while packing. It can be simple and silly, and could go to the tune of a famous song your kids like. Your kids can help pack certain things. Hiding little surprises like stickers or candy for them to find while they pack can be exciting. For older kids, funny riddles or “tasks” will compensate for a playful break from packing. Let your kids’ tape the packed boxes shut and decorate them with sharpies and stickers. Older kids help in labeling the packed boxes and make colorful labels for each box.

Fun while Moving
Road music can be a great help to keep up family morale. On your way to your new home, make sure you have your kids’ favorite music with you. Your older kids can help you put together a moving-day play list with feel-good songs. You can also involve children by playing simple games with them.

Have fun while Unpacking
Once the movers have gone, don’t be impatient to set everything right. The kids would love if you pitch a tent in your new living room instead and have an indoor camping experience. Depending on their age your kids can help unpack and organize their stuff in the new house.

Moving is never so easy, but you don't feel boring about it! There are lots of exciting and creative ways to make it exciting.
