Greatest City in the World - New York, NY
i'm new here from new york. well i'm originally from the los angeles area but i moved to new york a few years ago and fell in love. los angeles sucks it's too spread out and there's literally no diversity in food there. mexican is the main course there. i love new york because i have everything i could ever want in a city at my fingertips. i ordered a pizza last night, chinese saturday night, and indian friday night. i love the accessability to the subway, buses, and cabs. i love the seasons here and i love the density. so you'll be hearing me praise new york a lot but who wouldn't? it's the greatest city in the world.

i love food. i love italian, mexican, chinese, greek, french, caribbean, american, vietnamese, indian, and anything you put in front of me. i've eaten octopus, squid, turantulas (cooked of course), etc. and everybody i never tried any of these things besides mexican and italian until i moved to new york because we literally had nothing but a fish taco shack, a mexican joint, and a pizza joint near my house in los angeles. so new york will really open you up to the world. los angeles is boring unless you surf, skate or you're a celeb.
 
Welcome to the site. I share your love of NY. There really is no other place in the world like it. I have never lived there, but have spend TONS of time there as I had lots of family and many friends who lived in NY. In high school it seems like I was there every weekend.

I am curious, what were turantulas like?

horrible, crunchy, creepy. that may be the one thing i'll never try again. i can't remember the name of the place but i believe it was in bloomfield, nj.

Glad to hear someone loves new york though. i see you're from massachusetts. love boston, great city, great food.
 
I love NY for so many reasons and do miss it, especially for the food, South Street fish mongers, and......... and haven't had a good pizza since moving down here. I sure wish it was closer - 1500 miles.
 
yeah i may have been a little hard on it. it's not a horrible place, it's just not for an urbanite like myself. it's just not as cultured as nyc, i love the convenience of the eastern seaboard and i love not having a car payment. :cool:

:LOL::LOL::LOL:-Hey buddy, I'm just an easily entertained, slack-jawed yokel from the heart of flyover country!!

I've spent some time in LA, and I could make a whole vacation out of watching the freaks (No offense to any freaks here) walking up and down Melrose!!

Again, welcome to DC-the nicest bunch of folks on the net!!
