I've had far better moments and times in other places... We know how u love NYC, the funny thing about it is when u pass
away NYC is not going to care a rats a$$ about u as much as u brag and care. About it. Your not goin to leave no kinda legacy behind where the city will acknowledge your name.. The only legacy your going to leave are your sickening post u leave on city data ............

Um, where did I EVER mention on CD that I care about what type of legacy I leave with this city? lmao, I never even once considered something so ridiculous. I'm not THAT high and mighty...never heard of something so strange in my life.

So what neighborhoods did you stay in with your friends to experience the city life? What places did you check out in those neighborhoods?

care about attending....
After going to NYC several times it gets dull? How can it be dull when everything is 24/7? How can it be dull when is the largest city in the US? hahaha that was a good laugh In NYC, not just Manhattan as some tourists think that Manhattan is NYC, we have different types of foods, different types parks museums, Little Italy, broadway shows etc.... Now in a city that is much smaller you will get bored but in NYC? come on...

Of course one can get bored in NYC but it reflects on one's personality rather than on the city. If one gets bored in a 10M city often considered the cultural hub of the western hemisphere then one is probably a very boring person himself/herself.

Or they just don't have a nack for the things offered by a city with nearly 10 million people.

Some people can have the time of their life out in a farm, and not be thrilled in a city.

It's highly subjective and should pertain to one's own interest and opinions.

But yes, there is no doubt plenty to do in New York City, museums, theaters, monuments, art galleries, tall buildings, sums up everything I care about there.

we're talking about city life, not the housing market.
you get more bang for your buck in the best city in the country. the economic opportunities, the ppl, lifestyle, food, sights, etc. are what i'm referring to when i say you "get what you pay for."

nyc is the only answer to the question the OP asked.

Some people may have the time of their life picking their nose but what does it change? If one is bored with what NYC offers in terms of "city life" then one must be a very boring person.
