New York City is actually pretty clean, particularly given the problems it contends with.

It's old. The streets and sidewalks look old. That doesn't mean they're dirty in my mind. You see people out cleaning and hosing down the sidewalks every single morning.

Also, Manhattan is a small island and real estate is scarce and expensive. They don't use it up with alleys. That means that the trash bags are dropped at the curb until picked up.

That doesn't necessarily equate to dirty since the trash is bagged. It's just a fact of life.

A New Yorker probably wouldn't even give it a second thought.
