Introduction
New York was a historical city more than I thought full of museums.
MoMA
MoMA is an art museum but sometimes it also has technological or historical meaning, and that makes art more interesting. MoMA is a 6 story building and it took 3 hours to just walk through.
THE MET
MoMA was massive but this art museum is even more larger with 700 rooms. This museum has regionally categorized exhibits and literally, it has all art from the entire world. It took more than 5 hours to just walk through and it was almost impossible to check every room without a map.
Times Square
New York City is generally old but Times Square is so modern and has a lot of displays just like Shibuya. But it's smaller and more luxurious.
Scenery
Happening
While NY has so many world's best collections, it also leaves problems like homelessness and a high crime rate. The bus in front of THE MET was just taken over.
Food
I ate a Texas-style BBQ in NYC. The steak looks small but it's actually bigger than it looks. The macaroni on the right top corner is called Mac & Cheese. It's named unique but it's actually not so rare.
Conclusion
I thought the expectation people have toward New York is excessive, but the quality of MoMA and THE MET is certainly world top level. While New York is quite inequal and still leaves the homelessness problem, it does have several best things in the world. The metro smells bad, and everything is expensive, so I don't want to stay here sorely for a living. I hope that a well-designed like Tokyo has the world's best things while keeping equality, safety, and affordability. The expensive cost of living and inefficient public transportation is a problem for freedom. Although I believe that extreme poverty should be avoided, inequality might be the motivation for endless development. Seeing the richest people as objective, create an entirely new system from nothing taking advantage of innovation dillenma. The future prosperity of New York is unknown, but the reason why New York became so wealthy is very curious.
