I’ve been to New York a few times, but only for short stays of 3-4 days. That was back in the days of cheap flights and disposable income, when it seemed like everyone I knew would pop over there for the weekend a couple of times a year, just for the hell of it. That was barely enough to scratch the surface of the place, even in a very minor way. I’d love to go for longer, perhaps to stay for a year or so. I can’t imagine that will ever happen though.
