Ms Belvedere Posted December 22, 2007 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Loved your pictures, thanks for linking to them so we could share your visit! We'll be there this weekend, we decided to ditch the whole family thing and go up to see my son. He's going to show us around and I hope we see some of the sites in your pics. :) Ms B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandjfun Posted December 22, 2007 #5 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I loved the pictures. I have never been to NY. With all those skyscrapers, do they even see the sun? I would everything would always be in the shade. I want to go, but everyone tells me it is dangerous and very expensive. Maybe someday.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22yroldcruiselover Posted December 22, 2007 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Great pictures thanks for sharing!

Maybe someday.:) I never felt uneasy once!! its probably a lot safer than most places I have been too, you should try and go our trip was a present for my 51st Birthday and 33rd wedding anniversary combined.

It is one of the safest large cities in the world - you've been misinformed. Expensive, yes, but if you come at the right time you can save money and we'd be happy to help you with suggestions when you are ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Name game Posted December 22, 2007 #9 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I too am very glad you liked my city. Many people are misinformed and think New York is unsafe and full of rude people. It is very safe and full of nice people. :D As for expensive, yes it is. Since you (the OP) are from England, it probably wasn't too bad for you. Come back any time.

Maybe someday.:) You have not been to central Phoenix (24 St to 59st Ave, Bethany Home to Buckeye) recently. Gang Banger/Illegal City bar none. Makes most parts of NYC look like Kingman. Tell the people in Kingman they know NOTHING about NYC-the dangerous reputation was from the 70/80's. The times have changed considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearswife Posted December 27, 2007 #13 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks for the pics. I live in NY and still love to see peoples pics and having fun. Its not dangerous but yes its expensive.

Sandi149 Posted December 27, 2007 #14 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'm a native NYer and I just read an article on Channel 2 (CBS) website that said crime dropped significantly in 2007. NYC is not the high crime city that people think. There are plenty of worse cities out there. Come visit and have fun. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libertybelle41 Posted December 29, 2007 #15 Share Posted December 29, 2007 My son and his friend will be leaving for NY on Sunday:eek: ...I can't believe "my Baby" will be in the big city(he's 21 :p ) I'm very excited for him and believe it will be a great experience for them. We are travelers so he's good at that, they are staying at the pod and everyone was soooo helpful with info on the Pod Hotel and the Islip airport thread I started.....so if anyone has any suggestions, ideas about places, food, etc...anything you might think would be helpful please, please feel free to let us know. They will be there from Dec 30-Jan 7th... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange reader Posted January 4, 2008 #18 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I've been to NYC many times, had a great time, and never had a problem. You can find more sunny spots than you can quiet spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveScotland Posted January 6, 2008 #19 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks for the wonderful pictures. I went to New York for the first time when I ws 27 and decided I had to live there. I finally did for 3 years and still visit as often as I can. Home may be North Carolina, but a piece of my heart will always be in Manhattan.

parentsof6 Posted January 6, 2008 #21 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Manhatten is definetly the Center of the Universe. Everything else is just fooling themselves. But the Midwest is where it really happens....the brains in NYC come from the Midwest & the money flows through the Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
