What US city best represents the diversity in the USA? -

Proportionally to the population -- what city best best captures the ratio of political, religious, ethnic and social factions compared to the United States as whole?

Really, none of them individually. Cities are products of their populations. While and large city will have a more diverse population than the surrounding area, the cities can t really represent anything more than themselves. If the only place in the US a foreign tourist visited was NYC, they would have virtually no idea about the rest of the country.

Los Angeles, California

NYC

Any good places in newyork for a date? -

We ve been to a couple of places but I have no more ideas. we`ve been to the museum of natural history,to the aquarium,central park,the zoo,the movies,coney island,to grand central and more.But I wanna take her on a date tomorrow and I got no ideas! Help! Oh yeah I cant be at her place nor can she be at mine and Im not made outta money cause Im only 17. Thanks in advanced :)

go to this nice resturant named beackers or its like ruby foos or something loved them both but if you go to beackers you should dress in like a suit and her a dress! LOVED IT!!!!

Take her to the Christmas Tree, China Town, Brighton Beach(check Russian food for a change, not expensive).

SEA Thai Restaurant, it s very exquisite and super duper cheap.

Nicer inexpensive sections to live in Brooklyn? -

ok, so I m moving to NYC with a couple of friends really soon and we ve pretty much decided on Brooklyn. We ve been looking at Prospect Heights mostly, but have also heard that Carroll Grandens and Point Greene are nicer and cheaper sections as well. Are there any other decent places? I was wondering about East Williamsburg and Clinton Hill as well...Thanks!

It s called Greenpoint not Point Greene . Or maybe you mean Fort Greene ? All of those neighborhoods are okay to great. Carroll Gardens is a really nice neighborhood, but I wouldn t all it inexpensive ! If you are looking for inexpensive, I d suggest Sunset Park, but stay between 4th Avenue and 9th Avenue. Of those on your list, I like Prospect Heights. It s well located and has really nice housing stock. But it s not as cheap as it once was. Also in that area are Kensington or Windsor Terrace, both a bit cheaper than, say, Park Slope (really nice but very expensive these days.)Clinton Hill is nice, but not well served by subways.
