I worked in NYC for many years. I moved out of that s*ithole 17 years ago. When I fly home to see friends, the only reason I ever have for going into NYC is for a Ranger game. Maybe I am talked into Little Italy or Chinatown or go to Brooklyn for Nathans and Brennan & Carr, but that’s about it.
I’ve been to Manhattan a few times. It honestly holds no appeal. A few years ago, my kids wanted to see The Lion King on Broadway with some friends. They were going to take a Megabus up from Maryland for the day. I decided to drive them up and just hang out to watch the wildlife. I probably got a better show than they did.
