Big Apple offers no low-hanging fruit, but what’s awaiting at the top is always scrumptious

Marvelous!

I do have to point out that as a Korean who spent a decade in LA, if there’s something that New York cannot even possibly compare to LA with, it’s Koreatown.
Then again, LA’s Koreatown’s only rival is the motherland itself. HAHA.
I’m living in New York right now, and I definitely think the two cities are both awesome, but completely different kinds of cities. For one thing, not many people actually live in LA, but in all the suburbs around it, which is why we have such terrible urban sprawl there and bad traffic from all the commuting.
I also do miss the laid-back atmosphere of LA. Everyone’s so in my face or stare at me here, especially as I stick out with my gothic clothes. Also, the tourists suck ass and walk 10x slower than I do.

I guess it’s because I grew up in LA, so it will always be the city I return to and love, no matter its shortcomings.

New York has the highest unsolved crime rate in the country. Higher than New Orleans even, yikes.

I read something somewhere once. New York is wonderful because all these amazing things are right at your fingertips. The difference with LA is that you have to look for it because they are hidden. There are a million lovely and amazing things here that take a little while to find. And there is nothing sexier than a really good secret.

That is a really lovely piece of writing. It’s easy to tell you’re heart is in it. :)
