I am feeling less and less of a desire to visit NYC in these days of gentrification and sky-high rents driving out all the culture, heart and fun out of the place. What gets put in its place is Duane Reeds, corporate monstrosities and ostentatious highrises for the 1% that lack any true beauty or welcoming. Just gilded fortresses.
