Oh, I didn't know there were rollercoasters and foodstands all over the neighborhood
Please. Manhattan is more like Disneyland than the real park itself. Too touristy.
Not all of Manhattan is touristy. Tourists don't know what's good, anywhere, so they stick to the few well known spots like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Wall Street, South Street Seaport, Battery Park, Central Park. There are tons of neighborhoods most tourists have never even heard of.
Don't even compare Manhattan to Disneyland. They're not even close to being similar.

It's just devoid of any kind of character, personality or uniqueness. Those pics are very beautiful but in all honesty, they could easily be in just about anywhere else in the USA.
I do admire the fact that Houston retains a great cost of living at the same time as having a good economy (relative to the rest of the country).
I don't understand how Houston doesn't have uniqueness or personality.
It's one of the most diverse/and racially mixed integrated cities in the nation.
We have 100s upon 100s of unique resturaunts and stores.
Houston has a strong car culture.
It has its own identity by just those things alone. I know I'm in Houston when me and my friends go out and we are one big melting pot of races.
The city isn't perfect though it could use some more nightlife and better clubs.

The only similar thing between Disneyland and Beverly Hills is that they're both in SoCal.
Not really familiar with Beverly Hills much, but Beverly Hills (gawk to see celebrity homes, shop on Rodeo Dr) seem more touristy than Manhattan, which has over a million residents, millions more people working in it as well as being a huge regional shopping / entertainment draw. Sure Manhattan is commercialized, but being the commercial center of the NYC metro, what else could it be?
