Born and raised in Brooklyn east flatbush area. Moved to florida at the age of 26. I went back for a visit at 34 years old and just couldn't believe how dirty and how small its was so compact. I actually felt confined claustrophobic at times. Yeah I went in on some pizza went a got some real NY bagels coldcuts from a real deli and that was great. But telling the truth I couldn't wait to get the hell out of their my beloved Brooklyn the place I fought for my respect in where I bragged about for years was a big let down. I guess I got use to the pressure washed sidewalks the no debri beaches or the turdes floating by. I guess I got use to the flat roads where my vehicles have a greater life expectancy not like potholes everywhere destroying them. Yeah born and raised but I could never go back but it's in my heart and that's good enough for me !
Keep in mind that it is for the whole state, not just that part of NYC.
I'll go with Florida. NYC is a VERY fun city, and can probably out do any florida city by 1trillion miles one on one. BUT I think there is ALOT more to do throughout FLA then NY STATE. You can drive 4hours north of Miami(which is argualbly Floridas most popular city) and still end up in Orlando, with PLENTY to do. In New York, I think it's different, upstate NY is nice to LOOK at from a nature standpoint but other then that.....well I personally think upstate looks kinda boring,besides the NYC metro, NY state looks like a place to JUST take pics, and postcards, but other then that it's kinda boring. PLENTY of tourist go to Miami, orlando, tampa, daytona ect,ect, but PLENTY of tourist go to, well...NYC, and MAYBE Niagra Falls in upstate, most of upstates tourist consist of Niagra Falls. But that's just me.
NYS is more than just NYC & Niagara. There is so much to do upstate. How narrow-minded.
I dont know? The New Yorkers i've met werent exactly the brightest, if you know what I mean. They didnt represent New York very well in the the intelligence catagory.
For someone who doesn't know how to spell CATEGORY, I'm not sure you should be bashing other people's intelligence
That is actaully 50 50. Yeah Florida has great WARM SUNNY weather but how about the rain and hurricanes that come with it? And yeah Florida people may seem so nice and calm but they aren't really TOOOO friendly especially when they know your from NY.
But NYC is COLD and the people here are even RUDER and NASTIER so I think I will stick to the warm weather, hurricanes, rain and all the couple of SNOBS that hate New Yorker's considering all you have to do is stay indoors during NASTY weather and ignore all the RUDE SNOBS you might run into
This thread is about New York STATE not New York CITY.
So many typical New Yorker responses. Get real defensive and bad mouth the other state. honestly, do you ever see Floridians retire and move to new york? Does anyone ever move to new york on there own free will besides NYC for buisness. Look How fast the cities in FL are growing in population compared to New York cities like Buffalo who are in decay. The only people on here who prefur New York are New Yorkers who has grow accustom to it. Ill be relaxing in paradise , while you continue to defend your state in the typical rude New York manner and wonder why so many people deslike you.
Your spelling is atrocious. Guess that FL education did well for you
If you had bothered to look back at some of the first posts, look who started the bad mouthing. New Yorkers, of coarse . With posts like "New Yorkers are way more educated than Floridians". Im just defending my state.
Umm judging by how horribly you and Polo spell and write, I would wager that yes NYers are way more educated. Long Island schools consistently top the list of best schools in the country .. EVERY YEAR.

sou shouldn't say that
Say that you survived to the 25 who were killed. And i don't think a winter leaves 250K people homeless, about 80K jobless, and make 100K people automatically leave like Hurricane Andrew caused...
A winter may be a 6 month ordeal but the damage is a lot worst when it comes to hurricanes. And hurricanes or only a couple few hours!
I personally love blizzards. I work at home when it snows. I wear sweats. I drink hot chocolate (and some wine, yum!) and after I'm done working, I cuddle up on the couch with my husband and a cup of tea and watch a movie.
Here is a couple for Florida --- better Salt Water fishing, year round golf, tropical vegetation, Flamingos, coral reefs, Spanish/Mediterrean architecture, amusement parks, retirement areas, better politics, Florida Manatees, tropical fruit, the Florida Keys, mangroves, The Everglades, etc. I like New York State better but to say in EVERY category is kind of unfair. In fact you also agree because you contradicted your first sentence with your last sentence!
They have this on LI! In Merrick in the Gables area I believe and in Baldwin down by the harbor!
