The air is filled with the stench of weed all day long. The streets are fill with non civilians. That city is on the edge man. If you live there, get the hell out yesterday.

Indeed a sad place now after almost all my fave restaurants are gone
I used to go to a very small Turkish restaurant every time I went up there on business (pre-9/11). I was stationed in Turkey for 1.5 years in the USAF and loved Turkish food, so when I found this place I assumed they would have iskender kebap. They did not. I asked to see the manager and when he came over I greeted him in Turkish. I told him I lived in Ankara for over a year and wanted iskender, and that it was my favorite food. He grinned ear to ear and said he would personally make it for me. After that, every time I was in NYC I would go there. He would see me and start preparing my iskender. He couldn't miss me either. The restaurant only had like 6 tables.
That was all I looked forward to in NYC.
