@ElectricMink Ok, but I said there's nowhere *I'd* rather be. I wasn't inciting a fight, and none of the things you have named are major selling points for me, specifically. For street food, Istanbul destroys anywhere in the US; how do you count public art, unless you mean state funded public art; and Venice has gondolas, which defeat all outdated kitschy modes of transport. New York is home because of its New Yorkness, and not because of any list of things.
