Not a New York Native

by mcsmiles77 - last update: Aug 25, 2006

What they don't tell you in the guidebooks

Talk about a city where you can be rich or poor and still have a great time....New York is a city for all!!! Some people don't like NYC because it's too congested, too noisy, too dirty, too confusing...but hey-it's a CITY!! Besides, there's refuge in the city. There are so many parks, so many side streets...if you came to the city following a guidebook...then most likely you'll end up at the Empire State building waiting in a line that wraps around the street.

As I stated, I'm not a New York native, but I worked in the city for a few years and I took the time to try and walk different routes daily from Midtown to Chinatown for almost 2 years (for those that don't know the distance, it's more than 35 street blocks or an hour power walking)

 Not all the homeless would accept food from you as they think something may have been done to it! But def just don't acknowledge if you don't wanna give them
