Neither was NYC on 2nd visit.. not bad. I had a blast. I was expecting Beirut. ;) 1st visit was different,.. it was Beirut. Saw a shooting,.. and some butcher chase a thief in the street and beat his @ss! All in 30 min time span. 2nd visit was great,... saw all the cool sights, 911 memorial,.. pubs,.. and it was during an "occupy wallstreet" event! Lol
