New York has a lot to offer since it's a massive city. There are tons of restaurants that span almost every type of food and price range. Aside from food, there are a lot of live performances like concerts, plays, musicals, comedy shows that are available every night. The night life is very active and you can find a place for whatever suits your needs even if they change daily.
New York City has basically everything you would want. You just have to be active and explore it to find it. There are just so many cultures and sub-cultures, that it gets to be a bit overwhelming at times.
I'm sure that other large cities provide and offer similar things. But I feel that there is more selection or variety in New York that it doesn't get stale as fast. This also eggs on competition and quality of your experience there too. It's only a good thing as a consumer.
As for the bad, the cost of living is high. Rent is particularly high in parts of Manhattan. But you can find cheap housing in the neighboring boroughs if not different area of Manhattan. The buildings are old and though have architectural charm, might not have the best wiring/plumbing/etc. The same goes for groceries.
So yeah, New York City is probably the best place to be if you have money to spend. You have everything at your fingertips and the most you have to do is hop on a subway. If you're poor, well, that's a different story all together. I'm sure that a lot of eurofags enjoyed being in New York City this past summer and would do it again if the euro were just as strong as it was before.
