I like the game and have a decent small stack strategy but the RAKE is ridiculous. I am open to playing in another game, especially if its softer to help pad a bankroll I am trying to build.

It's a good game. Been playing there for years and it's been quite profitable.
Just have to be ready to play for stacks in these situations, if you call a pre flop raise for $21 and hit top pair + flush draw with a shallow stack, it's an insta-jam.
The rake is ridiculous, but that's how it is in NYC games. The rake there isn't any more or less than anywhere else in the city. Unfortunately, it's something we need to accept as NYC players, along with the slightly sketchy overall feel of underground games, etc.
If you have a comfortable short stack strategy going you should do very well there.
