New York. It's a dirty, loud, crowded city with an even larger, dirtier metropolis around it. There's so little to interest a person such as myself there, I'll gladly leave NYC to the Wall St people

I was sitting work and realized it was a 3 day weekend. Not wanting to do what I always do (hangout with friends and do nothing) I decided to do something I always wanted to do and never did. Hopped in my car after work, drove to Mohegan Sun. Did some light gambling and just tried to have fun (talk to people, eat, make weird bets). Went to bed at a hotel down the street and had a great sleep. Woke up around 8 or 9, hopped in the car and drove to NYC.
Posted on the NYC Reddit board and looked for someone to hangout with. Went to Chinatown Fair Arcade and played my favorite games while talking to random people. Walked around Chinatown and ate random bakeries and cafes. Went to a toy shop that had a ton of celebrity, gaming, and anime figures and got some gifts. Got a message from someone at Reddit and hopped on the train to meet up with them.
They brought me into random stores and I saw pretty cool shit. A Macy's the size of a mall for example. Then they brought me to a bunch of cool anime and comic shops. Also some random bookstores. Ate some cool food. Watched standup. Went to Barcade for more drinking and games. Fell asleep on a couch somewhere. Took the train back to my car and drove back home.
I loved NY and want to go back.

Disney. Rides are boring, park is underwhelming and people are trying to sell you something everywhere. I have more fun at my local Six Flags than I did at Disney.

The atmosphere is what makes it so cool.
I don't even understand what that is. It was an amusement park and I didn't notice anything that was massively better than the parks I have been to. Certainly nothing that justifies the cost and worship that Disney parks seem to get. Maybe it was a case of it being overhyped and I expected something actually special?

What did you do there? I love London personally, the boat/bus tours are fantastic and there's so many historic places you can visit. I guess it's not for everyone.

Yeah London was pretty disappointing for me to. It seems like there aren't any English people that live in the city. Just didn't feel like England.
