You only had to walk 5-10 blocks south into Spanish Harlem to get a ~13 dollar haircut but totally agree on the taxes for purchases. I always found NYC specific travel funny. For example, it can take an hour an a half to get from the Upper West Side to Brooklyn but a bus ride from NYC to somewhere like Philly is often under 2 hours.
