Are the best restaurants there better than the best restaurants in other cities? Or is there just the sheer number of restaurants, and that guarantees there will be a lot of great ones?
Uh. Yeah.
They have like 20 at least that would be on a top 100 in the world list. Almost All of the worlds best chefs have worked there at some point.
And the ethnic food... Damn.

My advice is go to the US Open tennis tournament. It is a great event and not too crowded in the city.
Labor Day weekend is great, get a hotel near Grand Central(can take train to the tennis complex)and get a day pass for the Open at least one day. Most of the tourists are cleared out by then since kids are back in school.

Flushing is an easy ride from almost any place. It is a great event. Been 3 times.

NYC is probably my least favorite major city I have ever been to.
I really like a lot of places up north. A decent amount of New Jersey is great, Boston is one of my favorite cities, etc., but New York is fricking awful.

People of NYC are much nicer than Boston. Rudest people I've encountered are from there. Makes Philly seem sweet.

You have not met by brother then. He lives in New York and is a complete douche.

Yea, people like that loudmouth bitch and her ilk are are not a small reason you see people (like in this thread) who just really dislike the city but don't have a lot of experience with it. Frick her.
But going to a bar or something there or getting on Tinder...
It's a different world. So very easy.

Why is that? Are other cities getting a bigger piece of the pie, or is it cost of living based?

You can go out and meet a dozen beautiful women every single night if you're so inclined. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. And they are, shall we say, morally casual.
I guess I prefer a more relaxed pace. I don't care what somebody's educational background is. My last girlfriend didn't have a college education and I'm not even sure what educational background some of my friends have. I'm also not interested in drinking/clubbing/loose women.
Probably explains why I like the Landmass so much. Low cost of living, relatively decent job market, the kind of climate I prefer, a good destination-type city one hour in each direction. Pretty much everything I want.

This describes SF/Silicon Valley much more than New York.

Boston is one of the places I'd be most interested in seeing. A lot of spots there I want to hit -- the Cheers bars, Fenway, the Freedom Trail.

I would strenuously disagree, and I like both. SF is great, but it just doesn't compare to the numbers or scale of New York. SF/Silicon Valley are the primary centers for tech and a lot of VC while being a secondary center for a lot of other stuff. NYC is a primary center for finance, arts, VC, food, education, and on and on and on.
There's a reason NYC is classified (with only London) is a global A++ city while SF is a global A- city.

I hate the cold but the city is pretty cool during the holidays.

No doubt about it. Bostonians and the people in Philly--especially Eagles fans--are terrible. I've never had any issues with New Yorkers and the ones I've met are fairly friendly for Yankees.

Tech in Cali, finance in NYC.
