If you live in New York City and you need to hire some movers, I highly recommend Rabbit Movers. We’ve used them twice now, and they did a great job each time. What makes them unique is that all of their employees are artists or other creative types. If you think that means they’re scrawny and don’t know how to lift heavy objects, you’re wrong. They’re efficient, attentive, careful, and friendly. We decided to splurge a little this time; we paid them not just to move our stuff but also to pack most of it the day before instead of doing it ourselves. It was totally worth it — nothing broke, and they carefully wrapped everything that needed to be protected.

Also, one of the movers on Friday was gay. He first set off my gaydar when I mentioned all the dust bunnies set loose by moving the furniture around, and he responded with a Quentin Crisp quote about dust. Then he walked with me to our new apartment because there wasn’t enough room in the moving truck, and along the way he mentioned his boyfriend.

So I totally endorse these guys.
