I love driving there. Downtown manhattan at like 2-3 am. Just like driving in a nascar race. 30-40 mph, weavingin and out of traffic. Getting cut off, cutting people off and the cops just smile and nod. LOL. I am from upstate ny very upstate and it is nothing like that here. I truely enjoy it down there.

I always reply to that question the same way..
Do you remember the movie Escape from NY ?.... It was like 2 maybe 2.5 hours long..... IT FREEKIN LIED !!! It took me 6 hours to get outta that stinkin city.
I go there regularly and each time I think "no wonder people have those little bumperette stickons". (little stickon things people put on there bumpers cause they always get bumped in traffic and when parking) and " they ought to stop all vehicular traffic in the city and only allow busses, cabs and delivery vehicles"
But I tell ya.. I would love a bumper sticker that says " My other car is NY City cab".

That is sad to see. And the worst part is you mightas well not even stop after you get hit because the other guy isnt going to. So unless you have like collision you are screwed.

I have never been to queens. I have only been to manhattan, and the bronx. Someday i am going to explore NYC more. I love it down there, it is a whole new world and much to see.
