Laveign Ca
I have to live in one or the other and I am honestly TORN.
New York is great, but VERY expensive.
Chicago is wonderful, but has a lot of crime on the west and south side especially.
I am so torn, it is stressing me out!
Answer
New York is wonderful, but I have no experience with Chicago, so I can't help you there.
New York may be expensive, but it is definitely affordable. You can get pretty cheap apartments in any borough that ISN'T Manhattan (and even there, if you go to the not-very-popular locations, it's not that expensive).
Brooklyn is alright, but my favorite borough is Queens.
If you have a job there, it's guaranteed to you, and it pays a decent amount, it may be worth it to move to New York. Get an apartment beforehand (and make sure water is included with the bill & heat is a nice bonus) and have your job set up, and then move.
If you move in with a roommate, it's even better. Instead of paying $1200 for a one-bedroom apartment, you could split the rent and pay $800 for a two-bedroom apartment (if the rent is $1600, for example).
You will need to rough it for a while if you're low on cash because your job doesn't pay well. If you're sure your financial situation will not improve and you don't think you'll be able to afford NYC, don't move there!
However, it is the experience of a lifetime, and there is always something to do, so see what you can do about it. (:
Chicago, though, is obviously a great city, and I've heard so much about it. You wouldn't miss much if you chose to live in Chicago over New York. If you could live more comfortably there than New York, you should choose Chicago.
Crime shouldn't worry you. Crime is everywhere. In New York, certain parts of The Bronx, for example, are an almost guaranteed mugging if you're walking there alone around midnight.
*But NYC is pretty low in crime compared to a lot of places, which usually surprises people.
Just avoid the areas around Chicago that have a higher rate of crime, and I think you'll do fine.
Good luck! I hope this helped! (:

Ideas for a New York theme bedroom?

Answer
Try a modern look. Black would be too heavy on all walls so just go for one. With the others a gray. You could also buy a mural of new york. Try to accent the room with bright colors such as a rich bright pink, a bright orange or yellow, or a bright blue. Include pictures of new york. Also frame the I heart NY t-shirt in a frame.
