People who live in New York suffer from an affliction called “New York Goggles.” Many believe it’s a mutated air born version of another affliction called “Beer Goggles.”
Symptoms are easily identifiable. Much like Beer Goggles, the afflicted have a warped perception of the world around them. Comments like “There is so much to do here” are proclaimed often, implying that people in other places actually run out of things to do.
Another common symptom is the discussion of ease of transportation, usually following an extend subway ride to a place exactly the same as one near where they lived. These places are then usually described as being “new and fun.”
The longer a person lives in New York, the more they are affected, eventually becoming so sick that they can’t even visit other cities. Much like Beer Goggles, a person must be removed from New York and “sobered up” before they realized that everything wasn’t as amazing as they thought.
Total falseness. Most people who live in New York hate going to New York City and want to escape the place as fast as pssoble because it's so damn expensive.
That said, it's called the city that never sleeps for a reason.
