<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 8008789, member: 105571"]I visited New York City about 10 years ago when my daughter was living in Queens. We did a lot of things while there and had a very enjoyable time particularly because we ignored my daughter's warning to not look anyone in the eye and never, ever speak to anyone on the street. I broke both those rules and had some nice chats with complete strangers. While we had many good to excellent meals, the best one was a takeout from a street cart in Queens, some kind of Middle Eastern dish. Snow was falling in the dark while we waited in line to order. After I paid and turned to leave, the person behind me in line called to me and handed me the change (about $5) which I had forgotten. Left a really nice glow. Whenever I go anywhere, I keep an open and inquisitive mind. I also maintain my situational awareness even at home.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, urban cores are not my kind of place despite the many amenities and attractions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
