Three wonderful days in NYC.
Last time I went was in 2017.
Observations as an outsider.
Prices were up (£ gets you less $ than before)
Groceries were so high. 400g pot of yogurt was $10 in UK more like £2.
Food portions are still massive. Did a lot of sharing.
The city felt very similar to last time. I was expecting to see a lot more decay but wasn’t massively obvious to a tourist.
People were really friendly and I would happily go back.
Sometimes we hear lots of bad things and then the reality is not so bad. Probably like news about stabbings in London being really bad but when you go there it’s totally fine.
I think we can all agree that decay is happening but places like NYC are still really fun and is a great place to visit. Just need to save up.
