They took off in a hurry — but these New Yorkers are on the express line back to the city.

Turns out, not all New Yorkers are cut out for country living.
“I was definitely not in farm-shape when I got there,” said Thacher, who briefly volunteered at a friend’s organic homestead.

And so after testing out life in Massachusetts, Vermont and Beacon in upstate New York, Thacher settled on, well, Brooklyn.
“It’s just so easy to walk places without having to plan things out. You can stumble upon bars or restaurants and not be on a script here.”

On June 1, she signed a lease on a much bigger three-bedroom flat in Burlington, Vt., where she moved with her two Siberian Huskies.
“After two weeks I was like, ‘Is this all there is? Where is everybody?’ ”

She was happy to return to the churn of fast-paced city life — and soon found herself back in her old routine of visiting museums, walking through Riverside Park and volunteering with the Wild Bird Fund.
“I moved back right in time for the Met re-opening,” said Cross. “When I walked into the room with the Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko paintings, my cells fell back into place.”

Of course, not everyone can just pick up and move back to NYC.
Earlier this year, Jenn, who works for a radio station and declined to give her last name, moved out of her apartment on West 87th Street with her husband and two daughters, ages 4 and 8.
“When June came, I lost my mind and agreed to buy a pool that came with a home in Albany,” said the 44-year-old, half-jokingly.
The former Upper West Sider said she “misses everything” about the city, but agreed to stay put considering her husband loves the ‘burbs and her kids are “thriving.”
Someday, when she and her husband are empty-nesters, she hopes to return.
“I just can’t believe that I have to wait that long,” she said.
Kids thriving not in the city? Who would have thought???????
Stupid people.
Good go back to your rat nests.
I just didn’t leave because I don’t like dating my sisters, riding pickup trucks, having theater showing at the local Barn, among other things :-)
Green Acres?
Thank God....Maybe Thatcher can be like the Pied Piper and lure all the ones that have infected NC, SC, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and elsewhere, back to NY and NYC. Let the rest of us live our lives.
I can’t stand these uppity, obnoxious, hypocrites. The hand they have played in propping up the likes of ALL the Dem’s and Leftists over the years is far more dangerous than any terrorist, gang banger, dope dealer, or perp.
What a shallow POS.
Are they open now?
I have a daughter who was raised in the rural suburbs. She moved to miami and then philly. Came to see me once and asked how the hell do I sleep? Its to quiet! She cant handle having to drive even 5 minutes anywhere. But someone getting killed on the next street over doesnt bother her. Drpp me off in the middle of the woods. ( Not alaska pleeese. And Ill find my way out. Drop a citidiot there and they freak out with out cell service and a gps.

“The former Upper West Sider said she “misses everything” about the city....”
Yeah, like the looting, rioting, crammed subways, pickpockets....oh, and COVID. I’d miss that crap too. NOT!!!
Sounds like she may be a retired Teacher.
They just love adventure.
Stumble upon them. Stumble out of them...
Reminds me of the “city slickers” who bought the overpriced $1million+ mcmansions that sprouted up.like weeds around the Black dirt region in southern Orange County, NY. They complain about the pesticides that are killing their children and the slow moving farm tractors clogging up the roads, and during the hot muggy days in the summer that unmistakable aroma of cow manure in the air. They have the means to afford those houses yet lack the due diligence and common sense to realize when you move next to farmland, this is what to expect.
This *points above* is why I don’t want to live in the city.
Our mindsets are diametrically opposed.
They are welcome to NYC. And bars and restaurants and museums. I prefer runs in the desert, riding and caring for my horses, etc. To each their own, and land will be cheaper for me (I’m hoping to move) if a bunch of city lovers don’t come & buy it.
Not attacking folks in the cities. Just glad I’m where I can run for an hour and see coyotes and deer and rabbits instead of 5,000 of my closest friends....
With those large dogs, i do hope she follows with plastic bags to pick up after they crap. Fun things to do in the city.
Unless she is one of the entitled that leaves sh’t for others to clean up, or walk in.
It’s not political. People like living where they live. They’re used to it. Those who don’t like where they live being dissed on line shouldn’t take the opportunity to dis people who live elsewhere.
