Please don't insult NYC.
Anyway, I love NYC because almost everything here is the best, and we have more of everything.
Lets start with the water. Its flat out better. Our tap water is spring water from the Catskills Mountains. That means that even if the recipes are the same, the water isn't. Our water makes our food better.
Even if the water wasn't better, our food would still probably be. We have more cultural diversity, and fierce competition for all types of cuisines. For example, almost every state is without even one good Chinese restaurant. We have three
districts for Chinese food, and some of these restaurants are amazing. Most people have never had good pizza, and never will. Some of the best pizza (if you know where to find it) is here.
The museums. We have hundreds of museums, and most are not worth mentioning, just like most museums nationwide are not worth mentioning. But our best are world class. There is a difference between sitting down and looking at 4 gargantuan Monet water lilly panels, and looking at a diminutive poster.
Broadway show. I'm not really into this, but lets face it. New Yorkers don't take vacations to other parts of America to see theater.
Newspapers. There was a time when most cities had newspapers. Now they have just one. We have five dailies, not counting the Wall Street Journal and foreign language newspapers. Competition breeds quality, and there is just something special about the New York Post sports section.
Sports. We have more of everything, and it tends to be better. Why do you think so many people hate the Yankees? Pure jealousy.
Yes, the jealousy. I love hearing about how other people hate New York. They live lives devoid of anything meaningful, so they try and compensate by bashing a place that has it all. Everytime someone expresses jealousy of New York, I smile.
The subway system. Life long fan. I love it, and I love the Transit Museum.
The people. We get the best and brightest of everyone, because this is where the action is. We get them from all over the world. We get them from all over America. Its great, and they keep making this city better.
Oh, there's more. I'll just have to think of it.
Such a wonderful adult playground, and I love to be able to say "I am from NYC".
