Although I’m from Chicago, a big bustling city of about the same size, I was a bit surprised at how different New York City was from Chicago. The pace much faster, the people much less friendly and the cost of everything about doubled. While I had a great time while I was there and saw all the major attractions, I don’t really feel the need to return any time soon.
