New York City: Yay or Nay?

Nay. Don't like cities.

I've never had any interest in NYC. It seems like a filthy place, stupendously overcrowded, extremely high cost of living, and it's just plain ugly.

TC, none of your complaints are NYC specific. They seem like petty issues prevalent in all urban areas.

repost but still valid:

• Women
• Broadway
• Comedy Clubs
• Pizza Parlors
• Massage parlors
• Street performers
• Ethnic Restuarants
• WiFi everywhere
• 24 hour service
• Racial Diversity
• Subway
• Center of Fashion industry
• Center of TV industry
• Times Square
• Union Square
• Yellow cabs
• Central Park
• Rockafeller Center
• Famous/celebrities
• Lots of Hot women - Seriously, just stop on a street corner and look. Holy shi...

Nice place to stay for a few days. But to live there? No thank you

I just came back from a two week trip to New York. Great city to visit but I don't know if I want to live there. Too noisy for me.
Had a blast there though.

Never been to America, its on my list of places to visit.

Sounds like L.A besides subway, central park, rockafeller center and broadway, 4 things I don't really care about.

One thing I forgot to mention about New York City is its horrible subway system. You'd think that a city like New York would have a quality subway system, but it doesn't. It's the oldest one in the world. As a result, it looks like crap. The trains are very primitive compared to those of other cities, and the stations and tunnels are dirty, and have rats and peeling paint.

The people there are the rudest pricks on the planet. TonyDanzaFan

yea thats not the truth though. Have you ever actually been to new york?

From the all the subways I've ridden. Japan and Singapore are far cleaner and advanced than any other subway. You're right about that. But they cost an arm and a leg to use. When I was living in Yokosuka, it costs me nearly $20 just to go to Tokyo and back.

NYC's subway is the most expansive and cheapest. You can literary travel anywhere in the city for $2.25Just compare the density of a NYC subway map to any other metro. The entire city is literary covered in tracks.

Your post has redeemed the NYC subway system. I didn't know those facts. Thank you.

Meh, never been there so I can't really say anything about it. I'd like to visit it, but it's not a place I'd want to live. Dem rats.

NYC is beautiful..the true definition of an American city.

If you think NYC has too many people and too many cars you would literally be balled up in the fetal position if you spent a day in London.Ninja-Hippo

Living like a hour away from the city, I do visit a lot, but thats really only what I would like to do. I would hate to live there, its filled with way to many people, and smells. I also like having a yard. So I do visit there a lot since I live so close, just hate to actually live there

I'll stay in Florida, it's always hot and if I like the South Beach scene more then NYC, I've never seen so many exotic cars in my life and you can tell who pushed all the coke in the 70s and 80s *Cough* Maroone motors *Cough*.

I like my temperatures 80+, it's only humid in the non-industrial/commercial areas(mostly after rain, but it rains rarly), you won't feel the humidity when you're walking in mid-town Miami, or south beach.

Yay, duh. Most fun I've had so far for vacation.

I do prefer Texas's heat, it's 100% dry, or at least it was when I lived in Brownsville Texas and Matamoros Mexico.

I love this city, it's expensive as hell - but then again that's the point. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

Don't like my borough(BK) becoming more commercial, but it's inevitable.

It's not bad. Sure the traffic sucks and the weather is pretty bad but other than that the city isn't too bad. It's $2.25 to get virtually anywhere in the city(provided you use your transfers wisely), you can still find pizza for a buck a slice(I found about 4 places within 2-3 blocks of each other selling pizza at a dollar a slice). Overall I like living in NYC, my only issue is the weather which I absolutely hate. Too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Other than that it's not a bad place to live by any means.

Tell me where these pizzarias are.

I would like to visit NYC again to see some of the museums but I would never live there. The gun laws are way too strict.

They're in Manhattan(the name of them are Papaya's) and aren't that great(but when I'm in the city I'd get a couple slices), especially if you had traditional brooklyn italian pizza.
