Taking an Uber into Manhattan 2 nights I was struck by the beauty and grandeur of the city at night.
Then over where we came out of the tunnel and onto the island it turned out to be garbage day. Heaps of trash everywhere. Homeless wandering around. Minimal trees or greenery.
Still glad I moved away, but it is nice to visit, and it is in many ways a great city.
- porknubbins 7y agoI’ve found New York is best enjoyed from a distance, or moving through it at speed, or through films. Other great world cities London, Tokyo, Paris etc you can enjoy up close while walking around them but NYC when you get too close any charm that was there evaporates because of the stress, traffic, odors, etc.
