Experience in New York, United States, by Rick

What is it like to live in New York? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

There is no other city like it in the world. I’ve lived here almost 20 years from the Midwest. Just when one thinks they need a break from the city and steps away, one realizes why one lives here.
