Moving this summer, what are some tips/advice you have for someone moving into the city regarding anything like places to check out, getting around, things to do/get, etc.
I'm coming from the Midwest (not Chicago) so it's going to be a pretty big change for me. One question I have is how do deliveries work for things like furniture?

Been a while since I lived in NYC but I will recommend you always pay for furniture delivery all the way into your apartment, especially if you live in the fifth story of a walk up.
My other tip is get there with at least a week of nothing to do. It will give you time to set up your place, get stuffed delivered, get all the touristy urges out of your system, etc. My roommate arrived one day before starting IB summer training and had a miserable first few weeks trying to get settled.
You basically have 2 options to move furniture:
a) Get a U-Haul, pay for loading at origin and a separate unloading at your new place.
b) Pay for door to door moving services (more expensive)
After you move all your furniture and boxes to your new NYC pad, you will likely realize you have more stuff than a place to put it. Hit up the Container store for storage solutions.
I'm a strong believer of taking this less is more approach. I'd try to bring way less stuff than you'd think you need since you won't be able to fit everything in your apartment. It's always better to just go and buy anything you're missing other than just having way too much stuff and nowhere to put it.
