Thanks. I think sometimes that you have to visit a city not as a tourist to really experience it. Back in the 1980s, I spent a summer in London studying and writing about theater. Fell in love with it - and was able to see the bits of it that tourists never see.
NYC is very similar to London, except more walkable, or so I've been told. I do however prefer the London cabs - far more comfortable, and two-tiered buses - a lot more fun. Another major difference is the Mass Transit. NYC is the only city in the world that has 24/7 Transit, Bus and Train service. We can't imagine living without it. But I remember London's transit shuts down around midnight or slightly before?
