yes, I liked NYC. I stayed with some friends who had an apartment in the Lower east side, Alphabet City

we went to some great parties, weird clubs and great restaurants

I met a cute woman at one of the parties...and we are still in touch

It is difficult to compare cities

I have been to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Milan, Brussels, Madrid, Lisbon, Munich, Hamburg, etc etc and they all have fun places and can suck if you are just a visitor by yourself
