IT IS THE GREATEST CITY OF ALL
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/25/11
To those of you who have reservations about going to New York, take it from someone who lived in the area for over 30 years: GO!!!!
yes, some people are rude, but it is part of the character of this city.
think about it, if you never got any sleep, would you be the nicest person on earth?
New York is the city that never sleeps.....nuff said.
Part of the appeal of New York is its grunginess, i mean look at Chinatown, Canal Street, TIME SQUARE!! but then look at Rockerfeller Center, Central Park, Bryant Park.
THE BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN THIS CITY ARE INEXPENSIVE OR FREE.
In the middle of all the hustle and bustle, you have the most gorgeous architecture,
the crazy drivers, the people trying to make a living.
If your expectation is that New York will be like any other place, forget about going. I spent thirty years there and NOT ONCE did i ever go to the top of the Empire State Building. Why would I? I could see it from everywhere I went. I spent my time walking the city, enjoying its flavor, its smells, everything about it. you have to let it permeate you without letting it consume you. don't know if that makes sense...and hope it helps.
I love everything about it.
I had to leave for reasons which I could not help, but I will always love the greatest city on earth. The city that never sleeps.
