New York City Reviews
Rating 4.27 out of 5 1,796 reviews
My past trip to New York City was an exhilarating experience! The bustling streets, iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building, and the diverse culinary scene left me in awe. The museums and Broadway shows were highlights, offering a perfect blend of art and entertainment. However, the city's fast pace can be overwhelming at times. Nonetheless, I cherished every moment and can't wait to return for another adventure in the Big Apple
I love living here! No matter where I go I always end up back here at peace and tranquility. Knowing that New York City is home to me and my close ones makes it better and leaves me feeling content. What I love most about NYC is the feeling of togetherness with others around me and everything being short distance makes me feel even more closer to others than I already am! I love interacting with others here and being surrounded by such great cultural food, fun activities, and diverse groups of people is really the icing on the cake for me!
I just visited New York for the first time a few weeks ago. I am from Charlotte, NC and grew up in the countryside down in the south. I would have to say that NYC is unlike anything I have ever experienced, especially compared to Charlotte. One of the main frustrations in Charlotte is the "traffic" problems we have. NYC has traffic down to an art! Obviously getting into/ out of Manhattan in a car is (grrrr) unnerving, but walking/subway/biking is VERY doable in NYC! Most of the time, walking was faster than Ubering/ Lyfting. Within my two days I was there, I already had the grid system in Manhattan down pat! The one thing I did not like- THE SMELL. The stink stayed mainly around the Times Square area for obvious reasons with the density of the buildings in Manhattan. The garbage bags are piled on the curbs even in Times Square. The garbage trucks are pretty good at getting these throughout the day, but it detracts from the overall experience. Still wanna move here! Also- pot evrywhr!
