I've visited NYC many, many times. I've always enjoyed the trip, but after a few days, I couldn't wait to leave... The stench of the subways, the filth in the streets wear on you...

Of, late, The National Guard patrolling the subways (due to the increased crime/attacks on the train platforms and in the train cars) give me pause...

The noticeable increase in random women getting punched in the face while walking down a busy street give me pause...

The random attacks, stabbings, shootings, give me pause...

That said, I don't see myself visiting any time soon...
