Charm? All I remember about NYC is the stench.

Than you were here before Rudy time!
I visited Manhattan for the first time in 1977 and it was so bad that I avoided it for 30 years.
Hearing that it had changed, I took a chance and spent 8 days with my teen-aged daughter there in August.
Wow!!
The difference is like night and day. The streets are safe. The subway is filled with normal people and Central Park is filled with families and kids. The graffiti is gone. Times Square is no longer a giant porn shop. My daughter loved it.
If you have not been there in a while, I highly recommend it.
