Yes, the beaches are very nice, but here's what I miss
about New York:
-dehli's and restaraunts instead of fast food joints
-no need for car(taxi, subway, bus, etc...)
-large diversity in cultures and personalities
-pizza by the slice, philly cheese steak, Chinatown
-pedestrians rule the streets
-seeing the sun rise from the ocean instead of
mountains
-the metropolitan museum
-yummy coffee
-cool clubs and venues
-got to see places I've read about and seen on film:
taxi driver, catcher in the rye, from the mixed up
files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankenweiler(spelling?), kids,
ghostbusters' library, etc.. etc..
-awesome book stores
-st. marks place, the birth of the NY hardcore scene
-world trade center(what a sight!)
-CBGB's
-indie film theatres
-my close friend and possible fiancee lives in Queens
-staying at the YMCA in Queens for 40 bucks a night(a
room with a closet, drawers, cable TV, air
conditioning, and access to the YMCA facilities)
-the Village Voice
-NYC Flyer
-Washington Sqaure Park
just a few things I've been reminiscing about:)
