New York City is alright. The culture and that is certainly there for the taking. However, it is rather easy to confine oneself in an outer borough, living a New York experience quite different from the ones in the magazines and films. Living in Brooklyn is completely different from living in Manhattan. There is just less exposure the trendiness and art here.

Honestly, I think people make this place out to be more than it is. There are much more interesting and older, more culturally rich cities around the world.

It's safe. I've never been pick pocketed or known anyone who has been pick pocketed. I know one person who was mugged.

I imagine a london mugger as some dude with a jean vest with a bunch punk rock patches stitched on, a colored spikey mohawk and an earing chained to a nose ring.  he'll say something like "afternoon govenr, spare any quid"

am I far off?

I've never seen a crime committed in NYC. Ever. And I've lived either within, or a few miles outside of the borders for all but 4 years of my life.

Don't believe everything you see in the movies

Yes, it has some bad parts but so does every city. Most of it is nice and safe.
