Well hold one. NYC is not the main attraction. Plenty of other things to do away from cities.
Skiing, hiking, camping, horse back riding, exploring museums outside the city, historic areas.
You just have to drive a bit and explore this wonderful land. And once you get away from this urban toilet it gets a lot better and safer.
I was walking to Penn last week and head Sinatra's "New York New York" playing in Bryant Park. How pathetic and sad I thought. A song from half a century ago about a city that is well past its prime, still trying to sell a slice of Americana to a dumb tourist.
lol, one could think the world is going under. this is a major city with >8 mio people. ****'s gonna happen. advising people not to take the subway is like to advise them not to travel long distance by car but by flight because you're more likely to die in a car crash.
I saw a bunch of tourists in midtown last Saturday. Families with kids and none of them looked scared or terrified.
Go on living. Be wise. Be alert. Don't do anything foolish. (The other day, some guy bumped into someone's kid on the subway, the mom said something and the guy responded by punching the kid!). People are acting up and crazy. Be smart. But, go on living. What's the alternative? Become a hermit? I think not.
