Is restaurant variety really that big a deal? Quality grocery nearby would be more important for me - my prime concern, actually.

Living in a Kansas city superb could be cool, if those nearby forests offered parks and trails and such. shrugs

As strange as it might sound, at least for me it is.

Quality grocery nearby is more important to me for sure but that is also way closer in a big city. At least here in munich.

I can only watch movies in OV (original version in my case mostly english), go out to many different restaurants, go to many shows, congresses, using public transport etc.

And at least for me, my job opportunities are way better. My carrier would be none if i would have not moved.

I do not know how it looks in NYC And if i would not really use the citys advantages because i can't afford it, i would move out of it.

* It's not even comparable to a national forests in terms of size. But, it happens to be in the southern part of the city and it's quite beautiful area to live. Everything else is empty prairie grass for 500 miles (until you hit Denver essentially).

Grocery quality though is definitely a strength; Kansas and its neighbors are farm or ranching states. Hunting is [stereotypically] a big thing here, and that's about as 'natural' as your meat can get (free range, non-gmo, organic, etc)
