Oh, New Yorkers, aren’t we all transplants? Many of us for sure! We frequently land in Bushwick in hopes of starting our après college lives on the cheap yet glamorously (after hiring moving companies like Mayflower). We’re not always welcome, sometimes it takes a hot second to hone our city manners, but bear with us, New York, we’re learning and doing our best to live the best lives we can!
As a (relatively) exotic transplant from the picturesque mountainous town of Poprad, Slovakia who has transplanted herself several times internationally and has been called “transplant” in as many languages, I was interested in the Bushwick Daily team’s collective experience. Some transplants, some New Yorkers by birth, some hard-to-define-maybe-transplants – we all shared a piece of advice on how to survive this city! Enjoy!
