Moved back to Baltimore a year ago after being in NYC for 5 years.

I hate to not answer your question, but here’s a suggestion: try to enjoy things that are unique to Baltimore that you can’t really do/get in NYC. If you’re trying to do things you loved in NYC, you’ll be disappointed since you can get the subway, good pizza, bagels etc. anywhere else tbqh lol.

Try to enjoy the seafood, cheap drinks, chatting with and actually knowing your neighbors, ease of travel to nearby hikes/actual nature, restaurants/venues/art spaces with actual diversity of class, the easygoing slower pace of life lol. Stuff like that.

Luckily for me, I still know people in NYC, so I can go back and eat some awesome pizza and bagels and pay $20 for a cocktail haha.

Hope this helped :)
