It's like a more expensive, dirtier, more unsafe version of London. Even the ethnic food is worse than what you get in London despite the diversity. Just go to London, it's a far better city and the UK is a far more developed country. Unless you have a frickton of money burning a hole in your pocket, NYC is not the move. If you really want to come to America, go to Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, or Washington DC
I'm talking about for travelling - all the sovl has been driven out by high rent so now you have crime + rich people + tourist trap shitholes for families. Not worth it at all. I met a group of Europeans in New Orleans who were there for a cybersecurity industry conference, they were having a blast
Aside from curry houses, the ethnic food in London sucks. The food in general is terrible, I have no idea how you can frick a steak and pizza up so badly when you're that close to Italy. It's also about the same COL-wise as NYC
>New Orleans, Los Angeles, or Washington DC
LMAO shut the frick up, opinion discarded
>Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, or Washington DC
Why are you trolling that poor boy
You people can't comprehend that your city is shitty and the only reason people move to your place is so men can get laid in the insane gender gap - otherwise everyone is moving out.
I would have told him to come see Austin or Houston but I was afraid that the first taste of brisket would explode his effete European brain. The cities I listed - especially Chicago, New Orleans, and DC are best for a no-car European in his first visit

Lmao, you didn't get my point. Your ancestors are not from New York. You're rootless there. Black folk, spics, Italians, Irish, they all are the same. However, if your family originally settled there prior to the mass immigration of the 19th and 20th centuries, then I take it back
Sorry mate, even the crappy $1 slices here mog your "pizza." The arabs in Sweden at least had the good sense to dump a bunch of halal meat, fries and sauce on top of it to mask the shitty base

Of course. You can never be bored there. Every part of the city feels like its own very distinct city. The Village is nothing like Wall St. etc. Don't forget to visit Brooklyn or even Hoboken and Jersey City too. Central Park and Times Square is overrated and maybe not even worth visiting. Especially Times Square, which is ridiculously crowded. It's just some ads. There's the naked cowboy, I guess.
- Try to stay at the Washington Square Hotel.
- Avoid the subway and take the ferries instead unless you're in a hurry; they're typically almost empty and very clean.
- If you're flying into JFK you can take the A train into the city.
- If you're flying into EWR you'll probably need to book a bus or taxi/uber. There might be light rail to the Jersey ferry, not sure.
- Nice burger (not to die for or anything) can be had at 77 Burger on Stone Street if you're in the downtown area and need lunch.
- Good, famous even, pizza can be had at John's of Bleecker Street. It will be a bit pricy for a pizza, maybe overrated, but I like it.
It's more expensive, but it's cleaner and safer than London. London is complete crap. All of those cities you mentioned are far bigger shitholes than NYC or even London. Literally only Memphis, Detroit, St. Louis, and Philly are worse than the ones you listed.
Central park isn't overrated. I live here and there are all sorts of things to do there, and lots of nice views. Times square has its charms too, although I only go there when someone out of town is visiting. The crowds and giant ads are the whole appeal
Times square is great if you love walking behind an 8-deep mass of fat tourists. Nothing says "authentic NY experience" like sitting in a corner booth in the shape of a catcher's mitt at planet hollywood, followed by a trip to the M&M store
summer is coming, are you getting ready for the lovely smells of NYC in the summer?
mmmm, baked shit and piss
The stores in times square are the same as any suburban mall. That's not the point. The point is the giant ads everywhere. I shouldn't have to explain this, but it became trendy to hate on Times square.
If you really want to hate a neighborhood, hate soho near the spring st station. It's the same shit with crowds and overpriced national chains everywhere, but no visual appeal.
Times square is like the IRL version of being on a shitty website with no ad-blocker, paired with massive crowds of tourists standing around like cattle.
>hate soho near the spring st station. It's the same shit with crowds and overpriced national chains everywhere, but no visual appeal.
The cast iron architecture is the visual appeal, but the atmosphere is pretty soulless these days. All the cool was sucked out of it long ago and replaced with copy paste mediocrity, just like the Village and Williamsburg.
>If you're flying into EWR you'll probably need to book a bus or taxi/uber. There might be light rail to the Jersey ferry, not sure.
EWR and NJ Transit(way better service than ew York trains) go to New York, it’s about 35-40 minutes to Madison Sqaure station
The dangerous areas are out of the way, I'm assuming you're someone who watched that podcast, so you should know all those people know each other. If you're just an average Joe you'll have to deal with about the same amount of sketchy people walking around either place.
No, but you are. I never thought about traffic even once last time I was there. I barely saw any cagies except for on Broadway and on the bridges. Most streets are quiet and don't have a lot of cagies on them. Especially in Brooklyn Heights, Hoboken, and the Village.
no it isnt. By sheer size maybe, but its easily interchangeable for chicago, boston or seattle
>Seattle
You're trolling and/or never been to any of those cities.

It's one of my native languages. I can understand it just fine.
There are a lot of cars in New York once you get out of Manhattan
No, not in Jersey City, Hoboken, NW Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint etc. You'd have to go beyond those places and at that point you're not really in the city at all. The vast majority of the city proper is calm. NYC has the lowest car ownership rate in the country by a huge margin. Those pictures of wide roads with lots of traffic is only representative of the bridges and the arterial streets like Broadway. The blocks around Times Square are also pretty bad.
Central park isn't overrated. I live here and there are all sorts of things to do there, and lots of nice views. Times square has its charms too, although I only go there when someone out of town is visiting. The crowds and giant ads are the whole appeal
To me it just seemed like a regular park with far too many people to enjoy it.

central park is really nice. Really its just a giant overpriced metropolis full of people. Anywhere you look its jsut skyscrapers youll never go in or department stores for women on every block. Times square is a tourist trap thats literally nothing but digital billboards and mobs of people taking selfies. Brooklyn is just apartments squished together with graffiti everywhere and dogs barking. Coney island is a fricking dump. The statue of liberty and ellis island tours are pretty great tho
It's completely different from the rest of the country. I'm not sure what would be best for the first time. I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.
I had just eaten som Ethiopian food and was walking down MacDougal Street, pic related, when a very polite but stereotypical looking drug dealer offered me cocaine. >Black, with 3 black buddies with him that looked the same >Very clean, new looking clothes >freshly cut hair >golden israeliteelry >"Hey, wanna buy some cocaine?" >No thank you >"Are you sure? Try before you buy!" >I'm sure >"Alright. Hey, I like your shirt!" >Walks away
In my high school days, it was quite popular for kids to sneak into the old abandoned city hall station. It's pretty easy to get to, even these buzzfeed soyboys managed to do it

Because all the food places are owned and staffed by arabs and jeets
Literally the same image you posted. Also, you are not from New York and you will never be a New Yorker
I live here, moron. I was born in Brooklyn.

There's a reason people don't take Americans seriously when you talk about stuff like this

Found one

Aw, it got to you, I can tell. Race has nothing to do with it. The simple fact is that you're rootless there and always will be.
I've had delicious pizza and indian food in london

MONAY
Seething flyover midwesterners just cant hold themselves from trashing NYC in every thread they can, can they?
Such vindictive petty behaviour
You're from a flyover country
Yea, we get it, you were filtered from the big apple, no need to seethe about it every chance you get
New York is great, I'm just saying Chicago is cooler and more unique
Yeah, it's so great they call it Chiraq
The dangerous areas are out of the way, I'm assuming you're someone who watched that podcast, so you should know all those people know each other. If you're just an average Joe you'll have to deal with about the same amount of sketchy people walking around either place.
Chicago is nice, but it feels like a bargain bin New York. No offense
When you wake up every day to this, jealously seething at an actual world-class city makes perfect sense.
Oh my science, tall buildings and Black folk?! Count me in!
Imagine getting filtered by traffic. You are weak and your genes are weak
Why would I care about cagies if I'm in NYC? They have so few of them.
ah, so youre functionally moronic, I see
No, but you are. I never thought about traffic even once last time I was there. I barely saw any cagies except for on Broadway and on the bridges. Most streets are quiet and don't have a lot of cagies on them. Especially in Brooklyn Heights, Hoboken, and the Village.

Is it the best place to go to, If you travel to the US for the first time?
no, for that I would probably recommend Sneedville, Tennessee.

OP knew just what he was doing. He abandoned the thread now. No intention of ever traveling anywhere.
And what was he doing?
Has anyone tried to visit tunnels in NYC?
Yeah, they're been around for a while, even before they made the news. I wonder if there's a pile of bodies from homeless people in there somewhere.
In my high school days, it was quite popular for kids to sneak into the old abandoned city hall station. It's pretty easy to get to, even these buzzfeed soyboys managed to do it
