Been there many times, .THE NOT SO GOOD: NYC has both the most UNFRIENDLY people you may ever see. and, yes, some of the most friendly & helpful. Rats. unfortunately, unhealthy. big, HUGE rats scurrying everywhere. be it the streets, the bus station, a store. it is shocking and getting out of hand. .The hotels are insanely expensive whether a dump or an alleged 4 or 5 star hotel. GOUGING high. It is EXTREMELY noisy. The # of homeless, druggies, alcoholics and lazy refuse to work ahem people are too abundant and some of the beggars will prey on you IF if if they think they can intimidate you or get away with it. AND, of course, the overly aggressive unemployed thugs and hoodlums who beg for money. NYC is NOT a clean city, restrooms are hard to find, and CLEAN restrooms are even rarer. It is overall an overly expensive place with out of this world high rents, housing prices, grocery prices, taxi, etc.
LIKES about NYC: You can find a cheap meal. As of 2018 you will be shocked to still find PLENTY of shops that sell delirious thin NYC style pizza for 1 dollar per slice! ; the healthy fruit by street vendors id also SUPER CHEAP. .as are hot dogs folks. The hot dogs even with sauerkraut, and mustard, etc. onions, etc. can be had in many on the street small shops for just 1. 25!
Next is Central Park. You can snooze, exercise, get some peace & quiet, jog, read, etc. at this tremendously large beautiful Park in the smack dab middle of MANHATTAN. ITS full of artists selling their art, statues, and has ponds, fields, and even a zoo. Next, the outdoor Farmers market in Union Square near the architecturally splendid & unique Flat Iron Building is a bustling place with LOTS of fresh food. The Staten Island Ferry- GET THIS - is still FREE! The only free Ferry left in NYC. Visit beautiful Grand Central Station and its amazing astrological ceiling! Marvel at the ethnic and racial diversity. If you do NOT want to get ripped off by Taxi drivers, the NYC subway & bus system is generally excellent. Next, you will be AMAZED at the array of museums, from the Goog, to MOMA, to the Met, to the Frick Museums, yes, they cost mula and are not cheap BUT THEY ARE All WORTH The Educational experience! The NY Public Library is a great visit; they usually have an interesting exhibit there and its near famous Grant Park, a fine place to people watch or picnic. Hope this helps!

Lol when you were showing off the food that definitely wasn't a popular NY Bagel. I've had and seen bagels from different NY places and they put a ton of cream cheese on. I myself am used to small amounts, but that was definitely not what I got out there lol.
NY is great! The people were always friendly, I utilized bathrooms at museums and other tourist spots I went to, I also used them at Port Authority because they're cleaned often because of the heavy foot traffic. I loved being amongst all the people, fresh air (lol never smelt the bad random smell thankfully) and trying different cheap food spots around the city. I didn't use the subway. I walked and used the hop on hop off bus because I bought passes and it was fast for me and I got to learn about the city on the rides.

My top 5 pros and cons of visiting NYC:
CONS
1. Noise, crowds and rush.
2. Trash on the sidewalks all over Manhattan.
3. Very expensive attractions.
4. Disappointing party experience (i got recommendation by many locals)
5. Distances (just because i can't think of another CONT)
PROS
1. Tons of shopping and eating options.
2. Full of attractions to experience.
3. ULTRA friendly New Yorkers. I got treated always with a smile.
4. Not everything is skyscrapers. There's Brooklyn and Queens and they are beautiful.
5. Multiculturalism.

I was last there in 2004.
1. I never walked so much in my life. I noticed few overweight people. All that damn walking! lol!
2. The streets are very crowded.
3. The hotels are very expensive. Back then I could not get a one night stay for less than $200!
4. The culture is incredible.
5. It's fast paced.
6. Great food. Pizza!
7. The people are either friendly or weird. And proud.
I encourage people to go. It's an experience!
I couldn't live there. Too expensive and fast paced and intense.

Another tip: New York always changes.
The New York you come to now wont be the same one you were at 10 years ago. We have historical places and things that dont change like everywhere, but the pace at which change happens is so much quicker here.
The new restaurant you liked is probably gone, the neighborhood you visited is bigger/smaller than it was, etc. It sucks and it doesnt at the same time.

a note on subways: there will be occational service changes on various routes on various days (mostly weekends. basically an example of this would be the E is now running via the R from Queens Plaza to Whitehall Street, or the Q is running express from Prospect Park to Brighton Beach and they can get super annoying and confusing when you are affected so always be somewhat prepared for that kinda stuff

Should do an updated video on 5th Ave and Columbus Circle. Columbus Circle train stop that is cause its a major hub to get off on the A B C D and 1 trains to access Central Park at its South entrance or going to 5th Ave. These areas have Trump properties like Trump Tower and tourists, espicially ones from other countries get a bit confused/nervous seeing the security that's set up in the areas.

I like your videos a lot. I agree with everything except from the toilets, they wheren't so bad. Pub-toilets in England, you got to wear Wellingtons, and in Copenhagen you got to wear gas-mask.
What I really liked with NYC was that it has not been touristified, like London UK and Stockholm. It still got it's soul.

I love your work. Your best point was that New Yorkers are not rude. They are not. I moved to NY for one winter season and I was rude the whole time but I still made a friend almost every day. Everyone was always willing to help with directions or anything. I mean this literally. no one was mean to me. Even if I deserved it.
