NY doesn't have a Boystown
having been to Boystown - and i liked it
no comparison to NYC which has multiple areas with a significant # of gay establishments
Hells Kitchen
Chelsea
East Village/LES
plus individual spots in every area of the city
NY is a gay city
they have roommates
they watch their $ carefully
they go to happy hours for entertainment - 2:1 pricing sometimes better
they make do
and they love it

i was born in new york and lived there until i was 4 and that's when my parents made the huge mistake of moving to the west side of the hudson. i think that the author needs to spend some time over here in jersey and see how fun it is especially if you have no car. i would rather live in new york city than new fucking jersey even though i do agree that new york is transplant central.
Yes, there is "eating pizza in NY", and then there is "NY pizza". They don't necessarily correlate.
I love this thread. I was born and reared in Upper East Side (before it was gentrified. Used to be known as Yorkville). I lived my adult life on Christopher St. Greenwich Village. The best pizza imho is (maybe was ?. It's been awhile.) John's pizza on Bleeker St. just east of 7th Ave. Authentic Italian, been there unchanged for years. The only have Frank Sinatra in the jukebox.
Moved to New England 20 years ago, now wish I could live my retirement years in the old neighborhood near family and life-long friends. But that's not to be--$$$$!
There was graffiti on the men's room in Googies bar in the 60s that read "remember New York, it's been good to you."
Thanks for the memories.

I was shopping around Williamsburg last month and was hit with sticker shock (prices really jumped since I was last there), which was one of the reasons why I expanded to Greenpoint. But my realtor advised me to open up to LIC and Astoria. I'll PM you next time I head up there.
NYC? Give me Chicago anytime. And Chicago's pizza is better too.
Gentrification ruined the flavor of Manhattan. It used to be delightfully seedy but has been scrubbed clean for the throngs of tourist families. What used to be a Mid-Town adventure you couldn't get anywhere else in the world is now nothing but Disney, The Gap and a gazillion tourists. Korvette's, Gimbel's and Horn & Hardart's are gone.
It's now filled with chain stores you can visit in Kansas City, Minneapolis or Birmingham. The homogenization of America killed the real New York. It's insanely overpriced. Buying a hot dog or souvlaki from a street vendor is fun the first time you do it, but after that their carts just block where you're walking.
However, there is the Met, the Guggenheim, the theater district. Once you visit there, you can chalk that up to one of your life's experiences.
I've been there 20+ times, first time in 1977. It's changed a LOT since then.

You're right. I was just commenting on a couple parts of Manhattan, not taking into consideration of Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx & Staten Island. Each borough has it's own distinct personality. However I've spent most of my NYC time in Manhattan so can't really comment on the rest of the city that much, just the parts I'm familiar with.
You're generalizing. Spend some time in Chicago with someone who knows the city well and you'll change your opinion.
changing opinions is for suckers and flip-floppers
I do feel comfortable abjectly judging Chicago pizza, though... it's very Midwestern in that it's a gigantic fattening loaf of bread with a pound of sauce/cheese on top.
You're entitled to your opinion, but let's not change this into a bash-Chicago thread.
That's because I didn't want to write a dissertation on the city.
And where did I say it's "nothing but chains"...? I mentioned two. And Staples, Macy's, and the stores in the Manhattan Mall are in Kansas also.
Don't get your feathers ruffled. It was just a comment.
You don't have to write a dissertation on the city to not compare it to Kansas.
The ignorance in your comments here are humorous to say the least. Herald Square = New York City.
Tell you what, if you want to have a different opinion than me, you go ahead.
And isn't Herald Square in New York City?
Broadway + 6th Ave + 34th
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herald_Square
You're right. Other than some souvenirs that's about it.
So I noticed. Dude, chill. No one pistol whipped your Gramma.
What is your definition of "talking shit"? Someone not agreeing with you? Someone not singing the praises of something you have a passion for? Loki "talked shit"
about Chicago. Did I call him ignorant, an out-of-towner who had no expertise? No and I'm not going to.Would you like my reviews of other parts of the city too? I've been quite a few places.
Do you remember New York before gentrification? That was New York.

Oh God, don't attack people's cities.
The winging is relentless.

Chicago is a great city
it's apples and oranges
NYC dwarfs it
takes a certain type to live and thrive in NYC
but the funny thing is there are so many, especially gays in NYC who are from:
Columbus, Orlando, Chicago, etc.
who come to NYC and love the openness and the opportunity
but it isn't for everyone for sure
you have to enjoy a great deal of stimulus
and if u don't like it ....... u REALLY don't like it
I LOVE IT

NY before gentrification was dangerous and people were fleeing
If you don't like "gentrified" Times Square - and I agree with you it's gentrified in a bad way
don't go
reality is
Times Square is the LAST place one should go if visiting
NYC is about NEIGHBORHOODS
Chelsea
Hells Kitchen
Soho
West Village
LES
UWS
etc.
plus the outer boroughs
Brooklyn - Williamsburg, Dumbo, Park Slope, Bklyn Heights
Queens - Astoria, LIC
then there's Long Island - with great PUBLIC beaches
no place like it
and frankly I don't think your experience in NYC is very recent or very in-depth
Tell you what, if you want to have a different opinion than me, you go ahead.

spoken like a guy who doesn't know NYC at all
but talks like he does
Herald Square is not a "go to" in NYC - it's a whatever shopping district not too far from MSG
it's crowded and not worth the time of day
NYC shopping is amazing
Hells Kitchen, Soho, village
man you're missing it
