Our top moving tips when moving to NYC

Winter, spring, summer, and fall — You’ll enjoy them all in NYC! The steamy days of a humid summer may be more familiar to Floridians, but chilly winter temps (average high of 39F; low of 26F in January) and typical snowfall can be quite a change for those relocating from the South.

No matter the weather, get ready to share the sidewalk and live out loud with over 8 million fellow New Yorkers. NYC is the most densely populated city in the country; per square mile, it comes out to about 27,000 people.

There’s lots to know about relocating to New York City, but here’s a few points to get you started:

  • Transportation. You may want to rethink staking your claim on a parking spot when relocating to NYC. The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) boasts 24-hour subway service as well as buses, trains, and ferries to take you all across the boroughs. And, it’s pretty affordable: a one-way ride on the subway currently costs just under $3. If navigating the spaghetti lines of a transit map seems intimidating, use a map app on your smartphone and select the public transit option when searching for directions. If you’re ready to ditch the drive, other options for getting around the city include hailing a cab, arranging for a ride share service, or renting a Citibike.
  • Cost of Living. New York City boasts a major cost of living hike compared to Miami. On average, living in NYC is over 100% more expensive. It consistently ranks as one of the most expensive places to reside — right up there with San Francisco; Brooklyn and Manhattan are the pricey standouts among the 5 boroughs. The biggest factors that influence the increase in cost of living when relocating to NYC is housing and rent. And, the price may follow you all the way to places like the iconic Macy’s flagship department store in Herald Square. NYC sales tax is 8.875% on all goods except for many grocery store food items, prescription medications, and clothing or shoes under $110. To consider cost and planning for your first move to NYC, check out our 7 most crucial things to know when moving to NYC for the first time.
  • Arts & Culture. It’s no secret that the city that never sleeps is a cultural hub. As it reopens to full capacity, the Broadway theatres will be curtains up beginning Fall 2021. Cruise around Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and you’ll pass by the Metropolitan Museum of Art with its fountains out front, the National Museum of Design, and the architectural masterpiece that is the Guggenheim Museum (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright). Taking in the shows and seeing the sites can come with a price tag, but residents should be on the lookout for deals! For example, applying for the IDNYC card, available to all residents of the five boroughs, will grant you access to many sweet discounts — including free year-long memberships to over 35 cultural institutions of your choice (including the Museum of Modern Art, Bronx Zoo, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, and the American Museum of Natural History)! There are also free or reduced entry days for many of these locations and bargain Broadway show tickets as well.
  • FOOD. FOOD. FOOD. From Michelin-starred dining establishments to dollar NY style pizza slices, each borough has its own flavor. The Murray Hill neighborhood in Manhattan is commonly referred to as “Curry Hill” with many Indian restaurants. Down for some dim sum? Manhattan’s Chinatown is ripe with choices. Flock to Brooklyn’s Smorgasburg, features open-air food truck-style eateries at a number of hang-out worthy locations. If the moon hits your eyes like two big pizza pies, head to Bronx’s Arthur Avenue: the northernmost borough’s Little Italy. That’s just a little slice of what the city is serving up. Seasonally speaking, you’ll also likely happen upon a number of street fairs, boasting Thai ice tea and fresh roasted corn, common in the summertime (but there are winter markets to check out as well). If you’re feeling both patriotic and particularly hungry, make sure to catch the annual hotdog eating contest held every July 4th on Coney Island.
  • Parks & Recreation. You may be leaving the beautiful beaches and outdoors of Florida but in NYC you can have it all: the metropolitan experience filled with all nature has to offer. Hike, bike, and lay out on the sand in NYC’s ocean beaches, botanical gardens, natural forest parks, wetlands, and miles of bike lanes. NYC parks also host outdoor movie screenings, fitness classes, kid-friendly events, and free concerts featuring major musical artists — even in Central Park! Speaking of the famed green space in the middle of Manhattan, you can also grab a blanket and a picnic basket to experience the Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park performances. If you have a canine friend, there are designated dog runs and off-leash hours at certain NYC parks. This city’s green spaces are fun for the whole family.

    From start to finish my move was a great experience. I immediately got a quote. The scheduling was easy, and they provided me with information regarding insurance coverage (and took care of the paperwork my building provided). The move itself went like clockwork. The movers arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way with an ETA to the delivery site. They moved everything up the 3 flights of stairs into my apartment quickly and safely. A great company that provides great service at very reasonable rates.

    They were awesome! They take everything apart and then re assemble for you.They wrap up your tvs and glass shit professionally. They take the legs off your couch so it fits through doors. Everything's wrapped until it's inside so it doesn't ruin the paint on your walls if they rub against them.Not even a wine glass was chipped.

    They came at zero hour after the moving company I initially hired and paid a deposit to canceled. I was freaking out about my move not happening at all but they did get this done and my stuff arrived more or less intact and accounted for. They handled changes and snafus gracefully and earned their money. Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time but if I get forced into that again, I'll remember this experience.

  • star star star star star

    Was very easy to call and set up a move. The price was good to. I had some mix-ups and needed to add items and even change the date, but they were able to easily accommodate. Day of the move the crew was super nice and professional. They quickly packed up the entire apartment with ease, I didn't really lift a finger. They made what is usually a stressful day pretty easy.

  • star star star star star

    I was amazed how efficient the guys were. they sorted out my items to be removed and, went straight to work. We will definitely use A Piece of Cake multiple times in the future until, we officially make the BIG MOVE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....YES, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! NO STRESS INVOLVED...JUST SWEET SERVINGS.....

    Piece of Cake Moving was phenomenal to work with. From the initial sale, to the follow up, to the day of delivery. The moving crew themselves were a dream to work with. I honestly don't know how they managed to move everything we'd accumulated over the years in such a short (relatively) period of time. Will definitely use them again (in hopefully 7-8 years).

    Jose and his team did a great job moving my husband and I. They arrived on time and were very organized. They were professional, courteous and moved us quickly. They wrapped our furniture very well. They took apart and put together our bed and sectional couch. We were very pleased and would recommend them.

  • star star star star star

    Nicholas and Giga made this moving experience an easy one, especially since I was moving alone. They were punctual, kind and very thoughtful. When we arrived to my apartment? They helped unwrap all the packing tape and set up my furniture and bed - something that would take probably days for me. They delivered excellent service and went beyond my expectations.

  • star star star star star

    Excellent moving company. I hired 2 men for 2 hours to complete 1 bedroom move. They arrived early, were extremely efficient, helpful, personable, strong, and careful. They finished the job with 45 min to spare. Everything went extremely smoothly. I would hire Piece of Cake again.

    Great move with POC movers! I rented their pink bins which was an excellent choice, they provide plenty of packing paper, zip ties, and tags. My team arrived right at the start of their arrival window and quickly and safely packed all my bins and furniture into their truck. The team just as efficiently unloaded everything, leaving the bins in the labeled rooms and re assembling my bed frame. I definitely recommend renting their bins. I would definitely use Piece of Cake movers again and recommend them to a friend.

    The movers were so professional, friendly and quick. They took such great care of my stuff. I happened to move on one of the hottest days of the year and felt so bad. They were gracious and so still worked quickly. Pls make sure you tip your movers good, they work hard and were really great!

  • star star star star star

    I had made an appointment from another moving company that completely screwed me over the day of. I called every moving company in New York freaking out, and Piece of Cake was willing to come at 7pm to help me move, last minute. I genuinely don't know what I would have done if they didn't go out of their way to fit me in. Anytime in the future I will be using piece of cake moving! They boxed and unboxed so fast and efficiently, it was amazing!
