new york for the first time

sooo, i went to new york for the first time yesterday and let me just rub it in your faces..I LOVED IT. I really want to go to school there or something, the culture was amazing.
the worst part of the trip was we went to the statue of liberty but you can't even go near it anymore unless u pay a ridiculous amount of money for a ticket one week prior. how the hell were we supposed to know that? national security has become a little retarded

hi,

welcome


you should try exploring more


those places are boring, expensive, and maybe some of the most un-nyc things in nyc

it's cool to get a sense of the city from a tall place, though.

just more fun it's a roof party or something and not a tourist trap
try this:

there is actually a very very obvious lack of culture in manhattan compared to other cities like montreal, berlin, barcelona, london, copenhagen, tokyo, etc

i think if you're looking for real 'culture' you should stick to the lower east side, the villages, williamsburg, dumbo, etc

much more life in these places, and they are generally cheaper.

You're kidding me right? I've lived there for 11 years and nyc is probably one of the most fun, diverse, lively, and exciting cities I've ever been in.

I'll give you this, it is expensive.

He was talking about Manhattan, not the rest of NYC.

yes, the axis of hipster is far more representative of nyc's true 'culture' than a midtown tourist trap...
-
to the OP: try a walking tour; www.bigonion.com is one of the best.

well to say that there has ever been any kind of 'true nyc culture' is kind of troublesome

anyways i never suggested that this sort of culture was 'real nyc culture', just 'real culture' OK?


whether or not there are a lot of hipster fucks around, there's definitely more culture than the statue of liberty...

just a suggestion.

oh it's definitely lively, fun, diverse, and exciting. no doubts about that.

it just doesn't have the cultural edge that cities like berlin, barcelona, etc have

i mean as far as art, music, film, etc go.

i was responding to the word 'culture' in this way, thus my recommendations.

i guess there are a few definitions of culture that are being used here..

yeah if you want "NEW YORK FUCKING CITY" then don't go to most of the places I mentioned


Posted by Fibonacci on Jun-14-2008 21:21:

manhattan has culture? Hell i live in nyc and it all seems like a bunch of hippies.
