I went there by choice, twice actually. Once just for general tourism and the second time to go watch boxing at Madison Square Garden]. I’m not going to say it was super awful or anything because we did do some cool stuff there both times, but I was just struck by how everywhere in Manhattan reeked of piss and how the trash was piled up literally waist deep on the pavement. Obviously it was insanely crowded, as I anticipated, but what I didn’t anticipate was coming into contact with such an ridiculously high ratio of obviously insane people in such a short span of time. I don’t regret the visits but at this point I doubt I’d do it again.
