Moving Companies and moving services New York, NY

Want to be a part of it all? As Frank Sinatra would advise, try moving to New York. It doesn't seem like New York needs an introduction at all. New York is easy to remember, even (perhaps especially) if you've never been there: the Empire State Building, bright lights on Broadway and Times Square. But there's more to New York than the city that never sleeps; New York State covers almost 50,000 square miles. And while it's home to most of the state's population, economic might and creative energy, New York City covers less than 1% of it.

Few outside of New York know that "upstate New York" (all parts of the state North of New York City and Long Island) has one of the largest and least developed state parks - the Adirondack State Park - in the country. Upstate New York also offers excellent wineries, world class racing facilities (Saratoga for horses; Watkins Glen for cars), a number of exciting mid-sized cities and small towns that seem a world away from the hubbub of New York City (in fact, Seneca Falls, New York was the inspiration for Bedford Falls - the setting of the holiday classic, It's a Wonderful Life).

Now that you're moving to New York, there are a couple facts you'll want to keep in mind:

• The population of New York State is 18,976,457. New York is the third most populous state in the U.S., behind California and Texas. The state capital is Albany.
• The New York Post was founded in 1803 by Alexander Hamilton. Publishing continuously for over 200 years, it's the oldest running newspaper in the U.S.
• New York City was America's first capital.
• The nickname "The Big Apple" was coined by African-American jazz musicians during the 1920s and '30s and refers to the "big time" status incurred by playing in New York.
• Horseheads, New York is the only village in the country to be dedicated to the service of America's military horses.
• In New York, it's illegal to carry an ice cream cone in one's pocket on Sundays.

Once you've moved to New York you'll be looking for some interesting things to do. Here's a list of several things you can do to keep your happily occupied.

• Broadway: Listen to wonderful music, watch spectacular acting, and experience a magnificent production. Check out some popular shows like Wicked, Mary Poppins, and Grease.
• Restaurants: Eat at over 16,000 restaurants in Manhattan alone. That's a new restaurant every day for over 45 years! It's a new experience every day when you wine and dine in NYC.
• Museums: Go to the MET, Museum of Natural History, the Guggenheim, and the list goes on and on. View rare art, ancient dinosaur bones, and specialty exhibits.
