I'm curious to know what new yorkers think about their city.. so in 1-2 words and in as many different types of words as you can think of could you describe it? What I mean is something New York has that is nowhere else :) something you have only felt/seen/heard in new york :)

Examples:
Noisy
Cars honking
subways
boroughs
etc..

That's what I love about Nyc! Everyone seems to be doing something and going somewhere, even if it's just to Starbucks. It's so unlike San Francisco where people here float around from coffee shop to coffee shop talking about how "cool" their apartment is on Valencia Street.

I loathe Bloomberg, personally. I can't believe the city keeps electing Republican mayors, and no- I absolutely do not believe the yarn that Bloomberg is "really" a Democrat.

Bloomberg is an independent by party and practice.

Absolutely wonderful.

As weird as that may sound, I mean it. The architecture of some buildings, the parks, and the things to do are endless. I love it.
