Any movers that seem especially good, both in taking care of property and being affordable? Manhattan -> Manhattan move. Thanks in advance.
Moving Man. Inc. hands down! Unbelievable wrapping and handling of my furniture and art work while lower priced than most of the movers (in the category that can be approved by a coop/condo and supplies insurance to the building, etc.) The only thing I paid beyond the estimate was for extra boxes I asked them to bring. They also provide meaningful insurance at an extra fee (based on worth of your stuff, rather than poundage).
Go with Flat Rate. They flatten your stuff at a rate of 12 boxes per hour. Very efficient. Don't go with the Shleppers guys,
Had a great experience with Oz. See lots of previous threads on this topic.
We did 2 large household moves in the past 1.5 years, they also packed up everything, with All Star Moving and Storage, Inc. http://allstarnewyork.com/ Totally happy both times. First time was under budget, second time was over budget because the super wouldn't let them in the door after 4 PM, so they brought our stuff the next day. That wasn't fun but not their fault, they arrived on time but couldn't get it done fast enough.
Make sure the person giving you the quote sees everything, including stuff under the bed, all the books, etc.
I have had very good experiences with Flat Rate and OZ. Don't just go for the cheapest...

Divine Moving, absolutely reliable, I have and would continue to 100% recommend them, I have moved half a dozen times with them and have been very happy each time. Additionally I am not an easy move with large artwork and a lot of heavy architectural salvage and they did great!
I wasn't just looking for reliable and a professional job, I wanted a fair price and I got it all.
Good luck,

Just to close the loop, I ended up going with Moving Man in the end and they were amazing. I had also bid Oz and Big John's. Moving Man wasn't the cheapest but they did an absolutely awesome job. Thanks - I wouldn't have known about them if it wasn't for this.
