I LOVE NYC. I love the hustle and bustle of it, all the different people and cultures, the different neighborhoods, the history...

I wouldn't live there, but it will always be one of my #1 vacation spots. In fact I plan to go there in June!

From Wall Street to Soho, from Chinatown to the Boogie Down Bronx, I LOVE NYC!

I loved it. Not sure if Id want to live there, but there is nowhere on earth like it. Its beautiful, bustling, so diverse, so energetic, so incredible. I just wish I could get back real soon, I really enjoyed it.

I don't know how you can't love NYC. All of Chicago's skyline would fit in midtown Manhattan, that is how massive the city is. It truly is like no other place in the U.S.

BIG, noisy, impressive, lots to see and do. I would never live there, visiting is nice though. I'm not the city type. You certainly won't be bored there.

I would love to live there (Manhattan) if I could afford it and I don't see myself living in any of the other boroughs. Too expensive for the things that make every day life simple, though. It's much more fun being a tourist there, because if you live there, then you kinda miss out on some of the things. However, I just don't know if I could handle NYC.

Definitely one of those amazing cities!

I think it's an amazing city, but I could never live there. Just to visit.

NYC is hands down my favorite city. I love how exciting and fun and diverse it is. I have been there hundreds of times and never has a "what do we do now?" moment. If they didn't get snow (and if I could afford it) I'd live there in a heartbeat!

It is a fascinating place, and I love to visit, would certainly love to live in the "fantasy" NYC you see in Woody Allen films, Sex & the City, Seinfeld, etc. But the "real" NYC is too crowded, hurried, stressful, noisy, and expensive and I think I would burn out after a month or two of living and working there.
