NYC is the greatest place in the world, anyone who has ever been there knows that. Only thing I don't like is how the locals hate when midwesterners like me stop in the middle of the sidewalk and point at the Chrysler building because "holy loving poo poo! look at that awesome building!"

They should take more time out of their lives to realize they live in the greatest place in human history, period.

Oh yeah and a bottle of wine that costs $12 here is $60 there, that sucks.

One that is probably just as cursed in its own way, but the difference is no one's under any illusions of it not being that way*.

The subway is also great. I would prefer homeless people masturbated in the library and not the subway cars, but they were there before me so I guess it’s not really my place to stop them.

I always imagine the midwest like that town from Napoleon Dynamite. A complete cultural wasteland where the only marker for what year it is are the songs on the radio. Uninspired chuds set up the bare minimum amount of civilisation required to plant corn and eventually turn it into diabetes.

I lived in NY for a time and I'll take being a subway jerker over that life any day.

I've been to other major cities around the world. NYC is pretty cool, and maybe the best city in the US. It's no Tokyo, though. Not even close.

The subway is amazing, you can be shithouse drunk, lost in the wrong borough with a dead phone, and just slur words at a New Yorker and they'll somehow direct you to the correct train to get home.

Incidentally that is the only time a New Yorker will talk to you, every other transaction is handled in the native language, a series of nagatory or affirmative grunts or car horn blasts depending on location.

The only thing that really sucks about NYC other than the subway being unreliable lately is that the Mexican food is hot garbage (apparently it's ok some places in queens)

In Chicago I've never been more than a 5 minute walk from a 7/10 hole in the wall Mexican joint and every neighborhood has one or two 10/10 ones

New York would be better without the New Yorkers. Also, if it wasn't in the US. Either/or, really.

Like, if New York was in Canada, it would probably be pretty awesome.

Wait, that's Toronto, right? Never been there.
