Is NYC worth it?

Currently in TX doing IB at a top group. I have always been intrigued by working in NYC but have also adjusted to living like a king in TX on IB money. Could someone give some insights on why NYC? Is it worth it? Anyone who has made this move, would you do it again? What can I expect?
