I've seen posters on CE say stuff like "NYC sucks, its a hellhole, I would never live there or even visit, etc"

Yet others really love it? My cousin for example moved there from Nebraska a couple years ago and loves it

It's dirty, loud, expensive, and crowded. Why would I ever go there?

Maybe it's too crowded for them? Maybe it's because I'm used to NYC but anytime I visit almost any other city I'm shocked with how extremely quiet it is, especially at night. Lol

Either that or it's too expensive for them

I don't mind big cities, but NYC is just... too much. Maybe living there is different, but visiting it can be a pain in the ass. You have to take transportation in because if you drive you're gonna get slammed by like 5 different toll roads and bridges. The people are just pushy, it's just... meh.

Other than it's second-to-none food options and museums, it's overrated, expensive and crappy. I say this as someone who's been to NYC countless times, and someone who's lived a short distance from it for most of their life.

The only people who romanticize NYC at this point are people who've never been, rich people who can easily afford to live there, or obnoxious people that think visiting/living there is a badge of honor because they've seen it in TV and movies.

NYC is the greatest city in the world.

My local bus route is only $6. Definitely better than taking the GWB or the tunnels. Public transportation into the city is easy.

NYC can be a very overwhelming city for many people due to how perpetually busy and crowded it is. Plus it IS dirty.

And I say this as someone who grew up in New York and loves New York.

hate for NYC definitely exists outside of CE, man.

it's a very different lifestyle than most of the country. i can see why some people love it, and i can also see why some people loathe it.

I bet it would be fun to live there if you make good money, otherwise it would suck profusely living in a sardine box

Plenty of things to do in NYC other than food and museums. It's a great walking city, lots of neighborhoods to explore, lots of history, great for concerts,

There's quite a lot to do. The layout of the city itself, its infrastructure, how dense it is, how expensive it is, and how corny it is these days takes a lot away from it.

Like I said, the only people, from my experience, who romanticize it, are people who have that big tourist energy to them.

Tolls and shit aren't worth it when you're trying to visit and you make a wrong turn and have to pay to go over one bridge twice...
