In NYC for the first time ever...and I 110% hate it. Maybe some of the boroughs are better, but manhattan is so gross and crowded. Why on earth do people like this place?

Wait so let me get this straight. You didn't like the crowds at the train station/airport so you don't like the entirety of NYC? Literally nobody likes the crowds in those places. Do you think New Yorkers just like hanging out in Penn Station?? 😂😂 but agreed with @S1 on rent 💸

I currently live in Chicago and love that it's humble and affordable but still vibrant.

But i used to live in NY and it's incredible in so many ways. It's chic, cultured, and honest. Once you figure out how to navigate the city it's ultra convenience at your fingertips. For example if you get hangry, much easier to solve in NY than anywhere else - delivery is fast and a million places open 24 hours

Also, some things are extremely affordable (e.g., manicures)!

I've been to NYC a few times, mostly for work at first. Stayed around Times Square/office area and HATED it. Like it was the worst. Then went there for a 3 day weekend for vacation and enjoyed t a bit more. It's not as bad once you're out of the center. I like to visit but never in a million years would move there. I like the slow pace and manners of the south
