What do you think about New York?

Answer 1

How could you not love the home of Ben Laden the cab driver and Tony Suprano your neighbor to the West of town. I mean there are watches, I mean Rolex for fifty bucks, and sunglasses, nothing but the real thing. Oh yea you have automatic little Orental ladies that just seem to appear when it rains, with an umbrella for everybody. For a twenty dollar cab ride you can be entertained by somebody with a towel around their head talking in another language, all the time smiling like they understand every word, until they stop and ask you to look at this map and show them where to go. There are Elephants that walk down the street past the bars on second avenue, if you have had enough scotch, and the circus is in town. Or even pink ones, if you had too much scotch. You can buy a lot in Jamaca on any street corner, and you might even be able to get a dread lock solder in the deal. If you look hard enough you might find your own grandmother homeless in a vacant storefront with all of her belongings neatly arrayed in a tapistry of life. If you want to be a star, there are just about as many agents as there are in Hollywood that will promise you the moon in exchange for favors. You may even see a hooker or two riding in a stretch limo with neatley printed signs advertising her wares. Yup there are restaurants for every taste from them Harley Davidson to Planet Hollywood, with wannabe stars lining the timesquare pavement nightly. If I left our anything you can go to theatre row and see it in living, on stage production, from A to Z. Last stop should be Grand Central as you catch the first train out of town, with the last twenty dollars you could panhandle. When you get to your destination be sure and tell everybody how wonderful NYC is so they can experience what can only happen there. All of the above in a 24 hour period and a complete nervous breakdown thrown in for good measure. Ya, I Love New York

Answer 2

I would love to visit New York City. I have visited upper state New York and found the natives:) quiet friendly to us southen hicks:). Actually I do beleive there are as many rednecks in upper New York state as there are in Georgia. It's a beautiful state I found on my Journey from Attica. There was a light snow fall with more white than I ever saw or dreamed of, and all of the trees were bare many with ice hanging from them. The villages and townships were very neat and clean with nice people who unlike New York city folks seem interested in meeting people.
If you are talking about New York City that is one place I would like to visit. It's so interesting to meet different people from all corners of the globe in so small of an area.
I've always wondered why so much trash on our accent, life styles, and just generally being put down because we are southerners came out of a place which has nearly a different language and accent on every other street corner. New Yorkers are nortorious for being rude, scared, and in a hurry yet they accept what ever they read in the news media as fact and make waves about things they know nothing of. It's surprising how many New Yorkers still think slavery exist here in the south and refuse to beleive that at one time New York had as many slaves as did Georgia or arkansaw. That white children were routinely sold into virtual slavery to the huge mills across The cities of the north east as so called "indentured employees" where most died before they reached 18. The children of these mills or plants were needed because they had small fingers and could work the cotton in the mills in unheated or uncooled death trap buildings. So It's hard to really find which slave was worse off, these white children or the black ones in the south. But Most New Yorkers know nothing of this as it is not taught in their schools the wrongs done than, just the injustice in ours.
New York City certainly has always had a people proud of their heritage, and they should be proud. How ever now for the last 20 years or so The city and state are filling up with the new immigrant. The one who doesn't wish to be american, just make america the same as the hell hole they left. I think new york will see many 911 s unless they began to accert their right to have their city american, and remove those who wish to distroy it.

Answer 3

Great city,wonderful shopping, great food, marvellous site seeing & Broadway but dirty as he**. I think this is by far one of the filthiest cities I've come across in a long time. Have you ever entered this city in the early hours when everyone's still asleep? I'm not talking about the hours when all of the city lights are aglow & night fall hides the ugly. I'm talking about 5-6 in the morning when hardly anyone's stirring yet. You see the dirt & grime on the buildings, the garbage & dilapidated buildings. The homeless asleep in the bus station or at Port Authority in those cardboard boxes. Or the average drug addict in the middle of winter, running along in traffic dressed in nothing but a black garbage bag. Don't get me wrong, there are the beautiful spots too, but the first impression always stays with you and this has been my experience

Answer 4

Answer 5

Personally, I hate it. I keep trying to see what some people see in the place, but it's painfully loud and stinks like merry hell during the warm parts of the year. I've always wondered, too, what creates that awful smell that wafts up from the subways - seems to be a blend of cabbage and doughnuts and very old sweat.

I just came back from NYC (business trip, nasty pretentious hotel chosen by client, right at the height of the thermal inversion/brownout period), with my longtime aversion intact. I have to say that in some ways NYC has improved; people seem less frenetic, angry, and rude, and the sense of crime-related danger seems to have dropped. It is just as physically and aesthetically unpleasant as ever, though. Mind you, I'm not an anti-city person; I love Boston and San Francisco and find London tolerable.

Now that other cities have decent opera, ballet, theatre, etc., and now that I can book-shop online, I can't see any justification for subjecting oneself to a very expensive, very ugly, very dirty, wretchedly unpleasant place.

Answer 6

It is my home, and I love it. I love the diversity and tolerance with which everyone treats each other. One of the only places in the world where so many different kinds of people (cultures, races, religions) can all live peacefully together.

Answer 7

i LOVE New York but HATE the Yankees

Answer 8

It is a fun place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there full time. If given an opportunity I would live there for a couple of years though. But I don't want to give up my current job and home.

Answer 9

I love NY i am proud to be a new yorker and have a job in Manhattan

Answer 10

I'm moving back there from FL. It's the greatest place on earth - you just don't want to spend your entire life there. It will really teach you who you are and what is important to you in your life. And I do believe it's true that if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
