I have been to Manhattan, maybe half a dozen times too. I visited the WTC site during clean up after 9/11. I have seen several plays on Broadway. I have done work on communication systems on top of some of the tall buildings.
I grew up down there, Queens. Moved away 20 years ago. I still go to NY/LI to visit family. The only thing I want to do when I am down there is leave. It’s nothing but concrete and people.
