I dont live in NY but Tacoma.  I spent 2 years in NJ.  NY is my favorite place on earth.  There is something for everyone to do every hour of every day.  Everyone may seem in a rush but there are some really cool people to meet.  Where else can you be on one block with all italians and the next block with all asian.  Wow.  So much fun to go to.  The parks all over the city.  Odd spots but so cool to just see kids playing.  I could talk for hours.

There is some bias since I am from Chicago, but having been in New York as well, I'd still have to ADVISE CHICAGO!!! \n\nBy compare to New York, Chicago is a friendlier place with midwest charm - yet w/a keep it real attitude, (good for business and friendships alike) much cleaner and although expensive NOT nearly as high in cost of living as New York City. Down to earth place with EVERYTHING to do that embraces ALL kinds. You kinda walk outside and run into something. There's always something happening. Even if you opt for a pool hall amongst strangers, you will have a good time. Transportation - the "L" and bus system gets you everywhere pretty much 24 hours a day (not in some of the hoods after midnight, tho). Traffic is rough, but you CAN move. NYC is nearly impossible. Not to mention they drive like they have a death wish. Aggressive, fast and even creative driving is important skill. But to drive like you can go through people like Casper is asking for heart failure. The lakefront!! And attached grass knolls and parks. It is far and wide, appears clean and simply beautiful. The view of the horizon is endless. The large rocks and piers in neighborhood beaches gives you the feeling that you personally own the place. The public art - statues, giant picasso piece, heck the bridges over the Rivers. Chinatown's entryway... The parks, boulevards are cleaned up and richer than ever. Re-Progress has hit this town in the best way. Where was once gang and drug infestation, they have taken it back. (orig to clean up to attract the Olympics, now major Investment Oppys and a reversal of the suburb escape back to the city. The architecture of the homes, buildings are world reknowned. Not just downtown, but in neighborhoods, suburbs. Culture - arts, main library/many neighborhood libraries, every religion and house of worship available, Chicago symphony, booth play houses throughout as well as big Broadway stuff, zoos, museums (oh the museums, not stuffy simplistics - w/free days too?!), music venues in old neighborhood theatres...it's endless. Getting around is an easy figure. The streets are made like a checker board grid - YOU CAN'T GET LOST. There may be 10 or so streets on angle, yet consistent. Unlike the separation and confusion of the burroughs and bridges and tolls (OH MY!) of NYC - to a newcomer, it's a nightmare. In NYC, one side doesn't know the other if you dare ask direction. Chicago is also a smart city with amazing schools (both private and some public). University of Chicago* Northwestern* DePaul* Loyola. Open minds. Music!? Please. KNOWN for Jazz, blues (see it live in Chicago if you hadn't experienced the love of this music), house and now hip-hop (Kanye, Common and well, Twista) Rock and acoustic is brilliant. I saw a cover band that done the group "War" and you close your eyes and damn, it WAS "War". Bands can sustain a living here because the city is a proud place that supports one another on many artistic and business fronts. For instance, you can't get real carmel/cheese popcorn anywhere else but Chicago. Incredible, GREAT FOOD THATS AFFORDABLE. PIZZA?? Whew. We won't go there. The food standard is high. So it's hard to get bad food. It's proud for cooking good food, no matter the location, appearance or price of the joint. Diverse is a given. Not becuase all types of people/races both rich and poor just live there (that's many places these days), but all can live amongst each other fairly harmoniously (mainly on the North and Northwest sides) with exceptance and fair treatment. It's nothing new to Chicago. They don't have to get used to each other, It's an OLD city that opened their arms to immigrants in the 1800s just as New Yorks' Ellis Island did. It's a proud place to be a person of color. With the black political history in all it's glum and gorly - a lot has been taught, learned and respected regardles

I moved from NY about 2 years ago, but i grew up all over, Albany, Utica, Frankfort, Hicksville (yes that is a town), Herkimer, Queens, Westbury...the list seems never ending.

New Hampshire is a nice state.  But to be honest, I love the amenities & social progressive atmosphere of New York.  There is more in life that what this deprevation model--that exists in NH seems to afford.

I assume you mean New York CITY.  People from upstate New York are generally friendly, welcoming, and hospitable.\n\nI lived 12 miles from Manhattan.  Some quaint traditions there:\n\n- Flipping "the finger"\n\n- Saying "fawty-fawth flaw"\n\n- Stripping cars\n\n- Looking for a parking space\n\n- Staring in silence

Favorite: San Antonio! Large city, great vibe, Texas culture peppered with elements of Mexican culture and heritage, as well as Southern hospitality. What a great city!\n\nLeast favorite: Louisville, for the same reasons listed above. The locals are very pretentious; but, I've lived in western, central, and northern Kentucky, and the rest of the state isn't much better.  Even Cincinnati is friendlier.\n\nI've never been to Seattle, Salt Lake City, or Santa Fe, but I think I'd like those places.  I've heard that Toronto, Hamilton (Ontario), and Vancouver are nice.  I've heard that California and Maine suck.

how bout a fun day shopping in the chinatown section of NY city, lots of bargaining and getting cheap knock offs of designer clothes and hand bags, watches, etc. Then you can have "dim sum" at one of the numerous authentic chinese restaurants there. April will be great weather.

NEW YORK CITY BABY...It's beautiful, exciting and the best Christmas spirit during the holidays.  There is nothing like walking down 5th Avenue and looking in all the decorated Dept. store windows, Rockefeller Center, Central Park.  And nothing beats the nightlife.  And it really is not as crowded then as it is say.. in the Fall.

I used to live up there. There's a lot to do. A few highlights would be Faneuil Hall, the gardens, some of the Freedom Trail, Harvard Square, Back Bay, the North End for good Italian food. Great clubs and bars in the Faneuil Hall area and Landsdown Street.
