I was planning on doing NYC in the new year … but then I remembered hearing how crazy it get around Xmas time, and I figured it was a good way to spend the weekend.
Its pretty much what I expected … and a weekend is nowhere near enough time to do it thoroughly … so I wondered around, doing the regular tourist things.
Best thing about NYC is definitely the corner delis … with great variety of sandwiches, pizzas, panini, and everything else one may want for a snack.
I have to say, after living in London (even though just for a short period), NYC is not that intimidating, and I think London is a much more liveable city, with lots more to offer….Don’t get me wrong, I like the vibe of NY… and I’ll defiantly be back within next few months (probably with Pamela, for a weekend), but I don’t think I could live here.
There are definite characters (almost everyone is a caricature), and people seem to have a hard edge to them, with attitude around every corner.
The streets and crowds around Manhattan were nuts … and as for shopping … forget about it … I think you need the attitude of a New Yorker to push your way through the crowds during the festive season!
