    I've never been there, but it seems like a place where you should always carry a weapon and never make eye contact.


    Good luck, though! :D

    NYC can be a pretty cool place to live if you hang out with the right people and go to the right places. For the most part anything you are into you can find right in the heart of the city...

    greenwich village isnt that....bad. atleast you wont be living in the projects, talk about living in hell. i wouldnt be too worried about getting mugged or anything like that, in 5 years in NYC i seen only one mugging. but just dont nark on anyone you see doing illegal crimes, and youll be fine. basically just mind your own business, and dont go around flashing large amounts of money at anyone, and youll have nothin to worry about

    Damn you, lucky bastard. I have'nt been to nyc, but I've been to chicago, cityplace, jacksonville alot. The city kicks ass man. It's really busy and driving on the highway and on international drive in chicago is fucking insane. If the highway leading into nyc is half as bad as the one leading into chicago, you'd be out of your mind to drive on it. It makes the indy 500 look like a damn go-kart race. I don't know about crime, but I think it varies alot. In chicago, some parts will be beautiful downtown, real clean, and 6 blocks down it's like buildings built in the 50's and 60's, kinda slum-like. It'll blow your mind how big the buildings are too. Like when you see a building and think, "thats like a mile away" it'll really be like 5 miles. That's how it is in chicago, anyways. You don't notice it too much though, once your in the city.
