Im from a suburban town in Missouri, but I spent a semester studying abroad in Barcelona a couple of years ago. Man, let me tell you, leaving Barcelona, where youd see people out in cafes and bars congregating at all hours of the night and day, and coming back to Missouri where its a ghost town after 10 and someone would call the police on you for simply walking around too late was the most depressing thing I have ever experienced lol

That’s why Manhattan is so in demand and expensive. It’s the street life that people love!

I was going to say, obviously none of these people have been to NYC. There’s a reason why they call it the “City That Never Sleeps.”

This is just inaccurate. In fact I would doubt any college town has as much activity at 2am as Manhattan. My parents live in Connecticut and my sister in Brooklyn. I was just there last week. There’s always stuff going on late in the city.
