I know I might be going against traditional thought here, but really guys, I just DO NOT like New York. Sure the city is cool and last time I was there I got a knock-off purse in Chinatown like every other tourist, but really their options are limited. Everything is Chanel or Louis Vuitton or Gucci, and I'm like - Where are the black market Marc Jacobs bags and Louboutin pumps? Disappointing. I concede, Ms. Keys, that the Big Lights do inspire me. But then after a few "OMG that taxi almost took me out" moments, I feel inspired to become a hermit and never travel to big cities again.
Anyway. Not only did it snow a foot an hour whilst I was trapped there, but the New Yorkers are somewhat distasteful. Unless you are reading this and you are from New York, in the which case of course I'm not talking about you.
I don't care for the accent in that whole US region, all the kids I dealt with were entitled with a heavy serving of attitude, and they all swore like sailors. Even the little 6th graders. Which personally I found beneficial because I've been looking for new ways to use the F word, since my common usages were becoming trite and boring.
So while I get that, according to the poet known as Jay Z, the "The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien," I think I'll just stay home next time.

Word. Nothing about the Big Apple EVER made me want to live there.
This post just upped your popularity with me.
100% agree. i've been twice and do not have the desire to ever go there again or to ever live on the east coast. there is definitely a difference in attitude and lifestyle.
are you traveling/working again?
You've made me wonder...maybe Jay Z said ambien when he really meant roofie.
