I have lived here for over 30 years (came here at 17) and I just love it here. I think there are people who love it here and people who don t. It depends on your personality. However, I often find that people make snap judgments about NYC based on being in the most touristed parts of town, and never get a real sense of what it s really like here. I think people often come away with the wrong idea about NYC from a very brief visit here.
Been there a couple times and it is exciting. Very fast with everything (fun, time, people etc).
New York is great. Go and take in the energy!
No NY is very good! Trust me! U will like it a lot!
