      Some people want me to take a trip there to hang for a month. I do not understand why. It's just another city, right?

        Crown Heights is a Caribbean neighborhood that stands out. The tempo is slower. People take time to talk to strangers and the partial gentrification provide some great bars. But yeah, fuck the rest of the city.

          Manhattan is a Disneyfied shithole, but there are tons of neighborhoods like Crown Heights in the outer boroughs. Just gotta know where to look.

          If I bow to the peer pressure I'll put Crown Heights on my list! Maybe I could stay in or near that neighborhood...

          Thanks!

        The Museum of Modern Art is amazing. Central Park has an obelisk. You can get pretty much any cuisine on the planet from hole in the wall expat restaurants. I can stomach New York for a week at a time, but it's a great week for psychogeography.
