Indeed a relatively short 200 miles of travel brings us to a destination reminiscent of another world. As for the smells, it's all about which NYC smell, or odor, is in question. For me, it's all about eating. Take Canal St down to Mott and Pell St. in Chinatown for the BEST Chinese food on the planet -- probably better than in China. Little Italy, though getting engulfed by a sprawling Chinatown, has incomparable pizza. And the numerous Jewish delis sprinkled throughout Manhattan...don't leave without a hot pastrami sandwich! But overall, I have a much less glamorous view of the city. The filth and crime greatly overshadows the positives in NYC. I'm sure I'd survive just fine if I never left Chenango County. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
