WRONG!

okay fine, partially you're correct. But NYC is like no other city. Most long time NYers(not trying to insult anyone here) have this impression that a lot of cities are similar to NYC except ours is just a bit more crowded.

NYC is practically its own independent ecosystem. Nowhere else in the world will you find such a magnificent public transit system that runs 24/7. There is not a time that you will not find the streets busy with people -- even in the dead of the night, you'll find other random people so you won't feel that your life is threatened by muggers at any point.

There are obvious class differences depending on where in NYC you're situated in, but it's relatively all the same -- you'll find ALL different types of people on the streets.

that's pretty true. nyc has a bad rep of being a dangerous city, but in all honesty, i've never felt unsafe anywhere in the city.

of course, i've never wandered off into certain parts.....

*enters conversation*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City

primarily, NYC isn't dangerous....unless you go walking in quiet areas by yourself. For example, walking your dog in Central Park at 3 am is not a very bright thing to do.

But then again, it's like that no matter where you are in the world.

it's stereotypical, I know...crime is synonymous to NYC, but really, it's actually quite safe from the daytime to the nighttime depending on which areas you are in...and if you are not alone. Smile

Laugh
the way you worded that sentence, it made it sound like chinatown and little italy are the ghetto areas or something. i'm sure you didn't mean it that way.

an hour each way for a commute??! yikes! well, then again, when i was going to college back in hawaii, i would have to commute an hour and a half each way. not sure how i managed that.


Oops, my bad! I had no intention of doing that! I love Chinatown. I get to buy coconuts and drink 'em right there. Hehe.

Hour and a half. Oh. ..my goodness. That's painful. Suprise

I'm from NYC. There isn't much to do in Chinatown but to eat.
No offense but I hate walking through East Broadway.
Little Italy is mostly for Tourists.
Flushing is mostly the same thing.

it really amuses me as to how many people think that new york city is all of new york, considering how tiny it is geographically compared to the rest of the state....also the fact that it isn't the state's capital, yet everyone thinks it is.


You mean to tell me that there is life outside of New York City? I find that hard to believe...

Don't get mad! I'm kidding...sort of. Mr. Green

I'm from Philippines but i always wanted to go to New York. I want to feel how it's like to be in Manhattan and living in the most expensive city in the US. Another reason why i liked to be in New York because it is one of the fashion capital of the world and the place is so beautiful.

Well, according to my uncle, New York City is one of the busiest city in America. The time there is very fast. He said that you'll get bored if you didn't get a job. Is that for real?
