I love metropolises and New York just climbed to the top of the list of my favorite cities.<br \/>\nWhat is it I like so much about it? That&#8217;s not so easy to sum up&#8230;<br \/>\nThe metro, that runs 24 hours. A huge variety of some great food for any budget. Those hipsters (I guess I am not one of them). The truly impressive skyscapers. The multicultural atmosphere. The different neighborhoods, each with its own flavor: Brooklyn, Chelsea, Hells Kitchen, Chinatown, etc.<br \/>\nI found New York to be much safer than I expected. Nowhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn did I feel concerned about my safety or even uncomfortable &#8211; also at night. Another surprise was the cost of living. It may be more expensive than most other cities in the U.S. and there were only few days in which I managed to stay within my self-imposed budget of $45 a day but all in all the costs seem to be manageable.<br \/>\nI hope I&#8217;ll get the chance to return soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is my last day in New York City.
