Quoting a single frame of "Rock Opera" from Heavy Metal Magazine, circa the early 80's. Don't Google for it; nothing comes up. :cry:

21. everything
the city is my absolute favorite place, there is nothing else like it. the food, the parks, the museums, people watching, the subway, all of it.

i was out there for a few days in november, but it was a family trip and i never got out of queens. we're supposed to go out again in june, so maybe i'll be able to wrangle a day in the city.

22. Despite the Yankees, it has it all.
How can anyone not like it? The city, the state, they're both great. NYC is THE city of the world, Tokyo and London be damned!

Just don't ask me this during a Rangers/Bruins game. ;)

30. Love Manhattan. Love the Staten Island Ferry. Love the Brooklyn Bridge.
I've been to New York a handful of times, but the last time I was there was the time I fell in love with it. :loveya: My son loves it, too, and always has, even though he's growing up in Oregon.

37. North Lawrence, Messena and Malone.
There was one restaurant in Malone that I loved. It served the best coffee I had ever tasted. Tried to find it on the Web, but couldn't.

It's late.
