G $19 Updated June 2026 Coming soon
Moving here compresses two years of confusion into your first three months. This handbook is that confusion, pre-solved and put in order.
What’s inside
- The apartment chapter — the document folder, the 40x rule, guarantors, broker fees after the FARE Act, and a walkthrough checklist that has caught real problems in real apartments.
- The paperwork chapter — IDNYC, driver’s license swap, voter registration, and which of these actually have deadlines (fewer than you fear).
- The systems chapter — health insurance if your job doesn’t provide it, finding a doctor and a dentist, 311 and when it actually works, laundry logistics, and the alternate-side parking religion.
- The money chapter — what things genuinely cost, where the city is secretly cheap, and the first-year budget spreadsheet.
- The first-90-days calendar — what to handle in week one, month one, and before your first winter.
