If you’ve been a tourist in NYC, curious what drew you there the most (esp if you’re not American) and what were your thoughts afterwards?

I’m American and after visiting ~30 countries, I’d put NYC at the bottom for infra, culture, and tourism fun lol.

As a New Yorker, you absolutely did something wrong if you think there is no culture or infrastructure here (not sure what tourism fun is? You don’t find broadway shows and museums fun I guess?).
Sure there are other amazing cities in the world, but I cannot fathom how New York would be at the bottom unless you just hate cities.

If you knew how to read you would see I put broadway in the tourism fun category

I sort of get it on the infra thing, if by infra you mean public transportation. NYC's is good but there are a lot of big cities in other countries with fantastic public transportation.

But culture? Tourism fun? What the hell are you looking for culture-wise that you can't find in NYC?

I first visited NYC as a tourist in 2018. My kids were teens. It exceeded our expectations. Since I’ve been back 4-5 times. I like NYC. The park, Broadway shows, Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial, other tourist stuff, restaurants. I’ve been twice so far this year.

Lived in and around NYC for 30+ years. Haven’t lived there in 10 years or so but have visited family there. The renaissance Giuliani brought was outstanding. Hate to see it go to absolute shit now and it’s only getting worse. I can see how it’s great to visit from a tourist’s perspective but living there—never again. I can get just about everything here for far less and don’t have to contend with the crime or filth or crowds or traffic or… Maybe it was once a great place to live and work but that’s long gone

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green).

But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)
