Do people in big cities even pay any attention to huge commercials like that. Do you just learn not to see them like you do with homeless people?

>like you do with homeless people

Well, this is just Time Square. NYC is WAY larger than just Time Square. You won't see that outside of Time Square. Besides, Time Square is a tourist destination. A native New Yorker avoids it like the plague.

We have big adverts in Europe too, you know

I would go to Central Park or to Brooklyn instead.

London?

transplants hate times square real new yorkers recognize the art of it

>London?
Y-yes

>transplants hate times square real new yorkers recognize the art of it
>Lived here nearly 30 years (my whole life)
>Leaf gonna tell me anything
Real New Yorkers get nostalgic over how it used to be with hookers and shit, but would never want the City to go back to those days. Actually, real New Yorkers leave the City when they want to go do shit. Usually upstate NY so they can "live" the country life.

>big

>I would go to Central Park or to Brooklyn instead.
Those are good options, however, there's a lot of other things you can do. Simpler things. Visit 53rd and 6th. There's these street food vendors called Halal Guys. Muzzies, but the food is good (especially when you're drunk or something).

>tfw i literally lived 100 meters from that place for a month

How did you enjoy your stay?

It was amazing. My brother worked there some years and his company hired a flat in 1600 Broadway so he could find a place to stay. It's really cool to be able to visit the city without being in a hurry, like most tourists. I could even spend some days without doing anything just checking some obscure places to visit on the Internet and planning routes.

I didn't know you could build buildings over three stories, whoa
America truly is a magical place

The most popular American city among Europeans?

When I was in NYC I stayed in a place at the Lower East Side near Grand Central station

That is my favourite area of Manhattan. Quite fond of NYC, as a Londoner I regard it as a kind of sister city

Yeah, might I suggest "Not For Tourists Guide To NYC" next time? It's a tourist guide book, but it's filled with little details of what's an overrated tourist trap, and all these cool little bullshit things to do. Even tells you the history of things, and it also quickly goes over the other boroughs of New York. Not even trying to shill, but I fucking love that book.

I-it's not like w-we love you guys t-too....
Yeah, the LES is pretty cool. What did you do over here?

We need augmented reality goggles with adblock.

I already went to NY twice. Sadly I don't think I will ever visit it again.

>Sadly I don't think I will ever visit it again.
Why not? :(

>london

It's too expensive and I would rather visit new places. Sorry.

The second time I stayed in Stuyvesant Town. It's a nice area but for some reason it's full of creepy people.

>It's too expensive
You can say that again.
I hear ya, though. It would be like me only visiting Barcelona when I travel. There's too much of the world to see to pick one place to go to.

I came over with some university friends from London and we did some typical tourist shit (empire state building, statue of liberty, etc) although the most fun we had was just wandering around the city randomly and discovering stuff - similar to London in that you're always finding something new. But it's harder to get lost than London considering it's all one big grid.

Also met a girl, had a holiday romance thing, she took me to the High Line at night, around Greenwich Village and other places. Had a really good time but it was shitty to fall in love and then say bye.

I'm American and have literally never been to NYC what is the hype about this city for euros

>but it was shitty to fall in love and then say bye.
I know this feel....

Yeah, unless you go all the way downtown, you'd have to be a bonefide retard to get lost in NYC.

Whatelse is there to visit? Isn't NY the most important city in America historically, culturally and economically. I have a friend that visited Los Angeles and she said that it was a decaying shithole.

I don't know, I thought people here would be smart enough to avoid tourist traps but half of this board has been to Ibiza and shit so it's no wonder they all do stereotypical Euro vacations to Florida and NYC.

>what is the hype about this city for euros

When you're a tourist it's easier to explore a city that doesn't require you having a car to get around. NYC is one of the few American cities to be like that... and it's packed with stuff to do and see.

LA is a shit hole but your post is false otherwise. On phone or I'd type some stuff up for u

there is literally nothing with ibiza. and it's only touristy like 1 month of the year

I'm going to London in a few weeks. Do you know anything interesting to visit? I warn you that I have been there many times and I've visited shitton of places that my friends (that live in London) didn't even know that existed.

>tfw when when coast, and don't understand east coast banter and rivalry.

I'm not in ibiza I'm in Madrid I can't stop farting send help

SoCal fag here, LA area is all autocentric sprawl and very dissapointing for outsiders to visit.

That's why your friend probably didn't like it, New York is a much better city, because it's more like an actual city instead of just a giant suburb.

>this frightens the american

Appreciated but I don't think I'm going to visit American again. I mean, there is something really interesting I would like to do, a trip by horse in the "wild west", and I would like to visit the south but another friend went there for work and he said it's poor and dangerous. In the sense than everybody drives and nobody walks except hobos and that kind of people.

The less popular places in the USA, especially in the "flyover states" are great to visit, I've been to some of those southern and midwestern states myself. However that doesn't detract from NYC being worth visiting. So it's popular with tourists, maybe there's a reason for that? You can also visit NYC and avoid the usual tourist stuff and have a great time.

>I'm going to London in a few weeks. Do you know anything interesting to visit? I warn you that I have been there many times and I've visited shitton of places that my friends (that live in London) didn't even know that existed.

Yeah well this is my city and I know it fairly well. Tell me some of your interests (history, music, shopping, art, whatever) and I'll try and think of something.

helpr is on
its way

>Isn't NY the most important city in America historically, culturally and economically
It pretty much is. Philadelphia and Boston are contenders for the cultural/historic metric, but make no mistake: NYC is the crown jewel of the USA.

>I can't stop farting

Too much cocido madrileño?

kek

>be my friend
>go to houston for work
>be in the hotel
>they don't have tobacco so go out to buy tobacco
>hobos start walking towards you like zombies in the walking dead
>a police car stops and the cops inside stare at you in disbelief (he is a white english)
>go back asap to the hotel

are there more skyscrapers in nyc alone than in all of europe?

>hotels in Spain sell cigarettes and tobacco

>>tfw when when coast, and don't understand east coast banter and rivalry.
You guys are too laid back. The bitter cold and competition breeds the mentality over here.

Well here in Cali we bantz with other southwest states, mostly Arizona and Texas.

>are there more skyscrapers in nyc alone than in all of europe?
Possibly. It's a pretty small island relative to it's 1,000,000+ people who live there (and never mind the people who go into it to work).

What are those like? Our's are sports and food and shit like that.

H-how about Chicago?

Mostly historical sites or museums, this time I'm going to visit the last two cemeteries from the Magnificent Seven Cemeteries so I finish visiting them all. I'm so out of ideas that I'm even going to visit the embassy where Assange is kept.

Unironically you can't smoke inside but if they don't sell tobacco and you go out to get them you wouldn't be chased by walkers if you leave the premises of your hotel.

Same with Sports, although we all have the same food pretty much except for Texas which has their own unique stuff.

It's usually them making fun of us for having more illegals or running out of water, and well joke about just taking the water by force.

Than they'll call us libshit commiefornians and well call them uneducated rednecks etc.

it used to be GOAT

>I'm so out of ideas that I'm even going to visit the embassy where Assange is kept.
Oh lord, that's tragic.

>Mostly historical sites or museums
What are your favourite historical places and museums that you've seen in London previously?

Used to be a great city. But now it's mostly a run down post-industrial shithole with niggers killing each other at rates worse than some warzones.

Crazy when you think about how NYC was until the mid 90s... Seems kind of intresting (I know it was a shithole but still eerie.)

Ads exist here as well.

That looks dystopian as fuck. All those fucking advertisements

In Tokyo and Shanghai there are no big advertisement billboards

>Tokyo
what

I don't know why, but Californians seem way too mellow. It kind of bugs me. Not trashing the place, because I'd love to visit. In fact, when I was working doorman, we had this 30 or 40- something year old couple who moved to NYC from Cali. They were utterly shocked when they saw us hosing off the sidewalks in the mornings. The woman even told me how I shouldn't be buying non-rechargeable batteries. They were like something out of a Republicans worst nightmare. It was kind of cute, though :3

Would be a lot of them to list. To put it in persepctive, I visited besides al the big ones the Hunterian Museum, Petrie Museum, old operating theatre museum, and others I can't remember, I even visited the Royal Courts of Justice.

Yeah, it was really bad. Giuliani, for as much shit as he gets now-a-days, really helped reverse the Cities fortune. New York was pretty fucked up. I didn't live through it myself because I was born and raised around the end times of all of that, but the horror stories you hear. It's insane to think it's the same City.

Oh, well in terms of social interaction we really are mellow.

Even just going up to Washington to see relatives was a culture shock to me.

They were way more into helping the environment and recycling and shit than even we are.

I mean we believe in all that shit generally but we don't make it a social activity in our lives, we just chill and don't make a big deal out of things.

I have to visit the West-Coast. It'll be like a YRYL thread irl. I mean, we care about the environment too, but not enough to not hose off the sidewalks. They can get filthy, especially after garbage days.

Btw, how much anal-pain is the West Coast exhibiting from Trump's election (in your personal experience)?

Also, I should say, in our bantz with Boston, back in the day (and sometimes now), people get into fights in at rivalry games. Definitely not as much since they give you a lifetime ban, and lock your ass up. Ever happen over there?

Yeah just wanted your favourites not a complete list. Here's a few things.

Royal Observatory at Greenwich. This is great if you're into the history of science and it's a beautiful location too. You've probably been here already but I'm mentioning it just in case. There's also some museums associated with the Navy just down the hill from it.

Dennis Severs' House on 18 Folgate street - there's loads of stuff like this around London and this is one (decent) example. It's perfect for the Christmas period too, but you have to book tours early because they go fast
dennissevershouse.co.uk/

Go to Clerkenwell and see St. John's Gate, it was built in 1504 and there's a nice museum inside the gate tower for the Order of St. John. It's a crusading/religious history that goes back a millenium. They have some interesting stuff there. Nearby is one of my favourite pubs the Dovetail, which specialises in Belgian beers, if you're into that. In general it's a nice area to walk around. If you haven't seen Charterhouse Square (which is also in Clerkenwell) you should go there too, there's a long and fascinating history around that place centred on an ancient monastery.

One of the best ways to soak up history is to explore the City of London, as in the Square Mile financial district, because this is one of the oldest and best preserved parts. Walk around and visit the pubs (some are very old indeed) and the churches.

Some of my favourite City pubs are the Counting House, the Old Cheshire Cheese, the Old Mitre, the City of Yorke

>I have to visit the West-Coast. It'll be like a YRYL thread irl. I mean, we care about the environment too, but not enough to not hose off the sidewalks. They can get filthy, especially after garbage days.

I've honestly never heard of that, even when it rained here when I was kid. We especially wouldn't do it now that we have no water.

>Btw, how much anal-pain is the West Coast exhibiting from Trump's election (in your personal experience)?

I'm kinda of a shutin asperger, so not much in real life. My liberal family are upset and think Trump is going to be an embarrassment and my dad unironically watches CNN and MSNBC.

But we also have conservatives (believe it or not) especially in Orange County who are happy shillary got btfo.

It's mostly college sjws protesting and making a fuss of things.

When trump came here and there was violence it was mostly chicanos and illegals breaking shit and waving mexican flags because they thought trump was going to kill or deport them all or whatever.

My uncle did see a black guy with sharpie written on his cotton shirt saying "Fuck Trump" right after the election.

My HVAC class is mostly conservative guys and even the chicanos in there were happy shillary got BFTO. Generally people only speak up if they think their political beliefs are shared by most people in the room.

>City of Yorke

Cittie* of Yorke

Sorry

>I've honestly never heard of that
Yeah, the NE gets a lot of rainfall. Droughts aren't what we need to worry about (thank God). I even heard that as Climate Change gets worse, the amount of rain fall up here will increase. We'll probably see an increase of Americans coming here (feels bad, desu).

And yeah, Libs definitely tend to be more violent than Conservatives. It's funny because they tout themselves to be these peace loving folk when in reality they're just as bad as they claim the other side to be.

Our York is better because it's New ,':^)

Thanks, m8. Will check them out for sure.

>Royal Observatory at Greenwich.

Already been all around that area, one of my friends live next to Greenwich.

I've already been there. It's spectacular how more incredible it is on photographs than looking at it with your own eyes. It actually looks like shit, desu.
