Ugly? Who knows what happened during your stay and where did you go. I had to go there about once a month for few days and for a couple of years and apart for the wind I had the most pleasant stay. Maybe because I am a northener in nature and I fit in the scene.
people.
If I just had the money to maintain what I consider a decent level of comfort and if (big if) I wanted to live in a city again, I certainly would pick NY. Paris I love, and it is so close, but in NY you feel in the center of the world. In Midtown you look up and the sights take the breath away. The shops, the eateries, the shows, the art. The modern Babilon. Anyhow, you pays your moneys you pick your choices.
