They are overly snooty but I will admit to having some excellent meals in NYC. The oysters in particular were the cheapest I've ever seen in the country, found a bar selling them a quarter a pop. And then you can get fantastic Italian at any random restaurant on Mulberry St, top tier dim sum in Chinatown, etc. It really is the only reason to slum it in that shit-hole, although I haven't been in many years, well before the Summer of Love.They almost hit French levels of pretension. A crime-ridden, corrupt., stinking city, full of uninspired "fine art" and overpriced boutiques where America's snobbiest and most privileged live. The only thing that makes NYC great is it attracts things that rich people buy and look at.
But then you'll run into some literal faggot from Brooklyn who gets such a big ego about the cuisine available in their bug-hive and whose brain cannot comprehend getting a decent meal anywhere else and it makes you wish Manhattan would just fucking sink into the water.
