No need for apologies.
I will agree with with all the odd numbers. #1, you are right about that. No arguments there. #3, I give it to you again. Some good soccer matches in Kendall or Brian Young park, you will see the same. All islands, and latin American presentation enjoying a good game of the real "football" as the world calls it. #5, I will agree there is a good mix of food, although quality Chinese food is lacking. There are a few here and there. I'm very picky about that. This isn't NY , I know. The Caribbean spots are good here, no lie about that. latin food is dime a dozen, and pretty good all over. Lack of African and European cuisine here. Not many falafel spots, no Ethiopian, Western African spots that I know of....Depends on your taste buds. I love variety. #7...Although there is good police presence, I will give you that...Have you been to NYC?... / ...<---------My feelings about the topic.. |

To those who keep bringing up NYC, I am a native New Yorker. I have total respect for all things great about the city. Notice no where in my comments did I make reference to NY. Reasoning? NYC is one of the most recognizable cities in the world. As such, I would not make NYC representative of the rest of the country. There is an entire United States that does not include NYC. Would you compare Toulouse France and Paris? Would you compare Rio to Campo Grande?, Would you compare Beijing and Chengdu? You cannot. NYC is what it is, and many people prefer places other than the largest most populated cities in their respective countries. My only point was, with all the "why do you hate this place" stuff going around, I thought I would give you a perspective of other places and maybe some of the hate fuel can be taken away from the fire.
Go Giants, (even if they are in NJ) ![]() |

Wild Style,
I live in SW Broward to be exact. If you have any information on the restaurants, please leave it here or send me a DM. Reiliz, I brought up NYC, just to compare the Chinese food, that's it. |
