you would most deff. be happy. The one reason why i love NYC so much is because its such a huge melting pot. I mean Manhattan is pretty big. There are all these cultures combined. Theres so many parades for different places around the world for example , we have the puerto rican day parade, the dominican parade, the phillipines parade, the gay pride parade , etc the list goess onn and onn. I can actually say that i have lived in NYC all my life and still have not seen all of manhattan or all the historic sites. Broadway is beautiful. The plays and the history behind them is so interesting. Ive been to 4 broadway plays in my life so far and i want to see soooo many more. I mean getting an apt in Manhattan itself is pretty pricey but, you can always go to any of the 5 boroughs or even Long Island. Theres transportation everywhere i love it. It's one place you can be yourself and not get judged.
I mean there are downsides and since i live here i can come with a list that never ends. I don't drive yet but driving in Manhattan is NUTS !!!! There are a lot of homeless and it is kind of dirty to an extent. I lived thru 911 and since i did live here it does get a little nerve racking when you walk down the streets in Manhattan. It really just depends if you like the city life. If you do then you will be happy with New York
oh yeah and for the record kevin
LOTS OF PLACES TO GO SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can basically shop ANYWHERE and find something cool
