I think NYC is dying a very slow death. Once a vibrant city of the world, all of those features are slowly slipping away. Commerce no longer needs a Wall Street, it's computers, no more stock certificates and need for paper shuffling transfer agents. It's going the way of a Bombay, a huge slum. And marketing and Madison Ave, it's all internet work from home. You pay triple taxes in NYC, people are moving out and although it may take decades, the Big Apple is rotting.
There’s so many ‘other’ placs to visit and live than NYC .....in fact perhaps any place would be better.
