I've lived in a few areas of this country, Houston TX area, Chicago, Philly, spent 3 months in SF Ca, and have lived off and on in many other places.<br /><br />The one thing about NYC is that many people can do the "we have that too" but they can't do the "we have EVERYTHING that NYC does" and that is what makes NYC special.<br /><br />For instance how many places offer a brand new disposable suit for wall street execs? (and I'm sure you can relate that story better than I can as to why that place exists)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-51176171278266334612009-12-09T18:04:32.346-05:002009-12-09T18:04:32.346-05:00Nice piece:) It made me smile to see H-Mart on you...Nice piece:) It made me smile to see H-Mart on your site. Korean towns and H-Marts are all over...and sometimes I wish more in especially in some of the suburbs of Jersey:) We often travel to Palisade Park area/Fort Lee to do our shopping and day in Korean Town. It is certainly a mix blend of so many flavors..I love that and still hold its history and sub-cultures of its various "New Yorkers";)kyungmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260976452646990221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-40463794340455603092009-12-08T18:23:28.252-05:002009-12-08T18:23:28.252-05:00Terry B - I have been surprised at the number of l...Terry B - I have been surprised at the number of large Asian supermarkets outside New York City. There are enough Asian Americans in the US to support markets like this in various locales.<br />You make a good point - the summation of all the things in NYC is what makes it truly unique.Brian Dubéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579167361224067819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-23979090265931012632009-12-04T13:24:35.899-05:002009-12-04T13:24:35.899-05:00Don't want to do a "we have that too,&quo...Don't want to do a "we have that too," Brian, but we have a wonderful Korean hypermarket called H Mart in suburban Chicago. Still, even if various elements of things found in New York are now found across the country, they don't add up to the amazing whole that is New York. The city itself is unique to the city.Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-84660194224156530992009-12-04T12:02:23.732-05:002009-12-04T12:02:23.732-05:00Sometimes we find the best things hidden discreetl...Sometimes we find the best things hidden discreetly in the cracks and crevices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
