Bowling

I haven't gone bowling since I moved to New York. And

I haven't gone bowling since I've been in New York. And

I haven't gone bowling since I moved here.

Are all sentences natural and mean the same thing?

Thanks!

PreciousJones Are all sentences natural and mean the same thing? Yes, with the obvious differences. You could stay/remain in New York for an indefinite period of time without "moving" your residence to New York from elsewhere.

What about:

I haven't gone bowling since I've moved to New York. Does it have the same meaning with:

I haven't gone bowling since I moved to New York.

Yes, the present perfect and the simple past have the same effect with "since."
The period of time you're describing begins with the act/event of moving and continues to the present.
The only difference is that the present perfect implies that you moved quite recently. The simple past could have been twenty years ago.
