Don't forget Corona Park! It's beautiful this time of year! I love the Boroughs in the spring. And southern Staten Island is great too.

We're going to spend some time in Williamsburg Brooklyn with a friend, but we're staying in the West Village.

" if you're going to the city you better bring some cash "

I love NYC because there is good stuff to spend money on everywhere.

18,897,109 that's the population of NYC and metro areas,

NYC is just under 9 million.

Canada is just under 35 million.

Infrastructure to support NYC must be humongous!

Visited NYC around 77 - 78

My luck, there was a riot in Times Square near the room me and my wife were staying in.

Not a good first impression, never went back.

I'll be on my way home from work.
Come with me and I'll give you a tour of upper Manhattan and the Bronx.
