My husband and I have just returned yesterday from a four day visit and still without a shadow of a doubt LOVE New York for all the reasons we remember, the smells the pace, the views ect.
I just really wanted to mention that we could not believe how expensive New York is! I was thinking how you all manage to live here and also what are the secret places to eat where it doesn't cost a small fortune!?
The cost if drinks,taxis,food,ect which of course you all know is so expensive. All that being said we still love New York what's not to love? I am just glad we don't live there only purely for money reasons other than that nothing would stop us!
Whats not to love? Live or work here for awhile and you will find out quickly
LOL. She loves the "smell" of NYC. LOL.
She should have ventured out of the tourist or safe areas of Manhattan. When people say they visited NYC they really mean they visited Manhattan (South of Columbia University to Battery Park).
Come back to NYC and live here for a few years (specially the outer boros), Then you'll know why people are leaving in the droves. Taxes,crime and noise OH MY!!!!
Since when is north of Columbia University unsafe? And for the average tourist there's no reason to go that far up there besides The Cloisters.
harlem and wash heights might be too unsafe for some people.
No reason to go to Harlem and wash heights?? See the Apollo theater, the house of alexander hamilton, eat some soul food in Harlem, see the historic architecture in harlem, walk the GWB, see the Little Red Lighthouse, visit the Audobon Ballroom (now the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center) the place where Malcom got shot, etc. There is lots to do and see in Harlem and Wash Heights.
That's what I mean when I say I am GLAD I don't live there!
RYU where you travelling with me? Just wondered because you THINK you know our itinerary we didn't just visit manhattan not that it had anything to do with you as you didn't pay for our holiday by thank you for your input NOT.
everyone else I don't envy you living there the cost is shocking and when I said I live the smell of nyc I meant the smell of coffee and exhausts bakers ect all mixed into one!

Happy thanksgiving
Glad you enjoyed your visit.
You are right, the City is incredible.
And like any City, the residents learn how to live MUCH more cheaply than tourists.

You mentioned a word there that I don't understand: what is a "taxi?"
