      you're actually kinda right. When I went to visit New York for the first time, my friend and I went to Times Square at around 2 am, roamed around for blocks and blocks, got takeaway from one of those halal food stall. It was drizzling that night, and honestly we had such a great time. It was quite something. The next morning when we passed through Times Square, it felt totally out of character.

    Like the first time I went to London: Piccadilli Circus, Westminster etc... really beautiful palaces, but depressing at the same time.
    I changed my mind about where and how I want to live now. I no longer aspire to that kind of lifestile.

  • @davidhollingsworth1723
    @davidhollingsworth1723 5 лет назад +2

    One of the changes is one that has - for all practical purposes - been forgotten. These are the neighborhoods of hardworking folks who used to live in Midtown: Chelsea, Lower West Side, Hells Kitchen, Kips Bay, Murray Hill, Turtle Bay to name a few. These were the middle/lower middle class who went to work; frequented neighborhood grocery stores, bars icecream parlors and the like. They were the backbone of the city who kept it running. Then came the UN Building and little by little gentrification encroached on these neighborhoods and their residents. The old adage, "Money talks and the poor walk." These people liked even loved their neighborhoods and the city NYC is losing her middle class and backbone to go with it. The end of an era.

And the two arguments that are brought up differentiating Midtown Manhattan from it's Brooklyn counterpart are a high-end Bar on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental, and Grand Central Station? Well, that doesn't convince me.

    Yes continue to go to Midtown. It’s amazing there. Don’t ever venture to Brooklyn or Queens - you’re liable to get mugged or worse for sure.

    Midtown Manhattan? This whole city isn't what it used to be. I was born in Kips Bay and raised in Woodside, Queens right across the East River. Gentrification, unaffordable housing and new money carpetbaggers have ruined the very city I grew up in.

    Is my math wrong or something. You could eat at 3 different restaurants a day x 365 days that's 1095 restaurants in a year. So couldn't it take you 40-45 years to eat at every restaurant in new york, not 125 years?

Are you fucking kidding me?
