Having spent less than 24 hours in Manhattan (more specifically just Southwest of Central Park), I feel qualified to make some observations about the Big Apple (wink). In no particular order
- Residents there must make tons of money because,
- they are wearing some obviously stylish get-ups
- everything costs a gazillion dollars plus tax
- Female residents must have genetically modified feet because they have to walk forever on stiletto heels
- Central Park is quite a happening place on a Saturday afternoon. One might run into sunbathers, bocci ball players, a man wheeling a bass, a minstrel show, and a napper under every tree
- Residents must not have much fear of heights as I saw individuals leaning on balcony railings some 30 floors up
- Vendors work VERY hard
- Pigeons are afraid of nothing
- The lights are well-timed so you can travel pretty quickly (on a Saturday in the Summer) up and down the Island
- It is a good place to visit, not so good to live!
