I'm glad you came away feeling that way, Mick. Really, I am, but unfortunately, in some areas, the awareness of the divide can be blatant.

Had you wandered around the Upper East Side, you probably would have noticed that the residents have very little patience for the less fortunate. But hey, that's not just New York City. "Old Money" behaves like that everywhere in the world.

Times Square is overwhelming and a lot of fun, especially for a guy your age. But to be honest, 42nd and 7th had a lot more "character" when there were still pimps and hookers hanging around at 10 in the morning lol.

I'm really glad you came away from the City feeling so good about it!
