I am no longer a New Yorker.

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Oh, like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir,
I have tried in my way to be free.

so i was on the 2 train going downtown the other day and unfortunately sat right across from a homeless woman. normally i don't care, but there was trash all around her, and she STANK. she had this crappy suitcase and ...one of her legs was really darkened and swollen up like an elephant's...while the other one was normal...i took a pic of it actually...but it's probably too gross to post here...in any case, i felt really bad, but then i couldn't breathe at one point and went to the other side of the subway...that was sad.

in a city like this, what a pity to see these kind of people so often....they just don't care.

in any case...i work in the financial district now and it's not that interesting. any can recommend any good places to eat? i am near wall street, to give an idea. peace out.

"God will never change the condition of a people until they change that which is within themselves."

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "Religion is very easy, and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded."

I want to go NYC probably in the Summer, who wants to be my friend there

......also what places are interesting. I love museums with historical and war stuff not crappy art, suggestions please

...

Also will I get beef at the airport? I don't want any beef. How long does it take the average brown guy with an EU passport to get through?

what do you mean by historical stuff?

The met has all these greek and roman sculptures and stuff along with a full Egyptian temple. They also have lots of canvas paintings from different periods. Its modeled on the British museum if you've been there

The Museum of Natural History has cultural artifacts from different societies all over the world, and alot of dead animals. Its actually a very awesome museum and my favorite one in ny, if you're into that. Theres also a hall of human evolution in it if you're feeling blasphemous

foreigners can take a while to get through, I think you have to get fingerprinted and stuff. It shouldnt be so bad, security at heathrow is much more intense than Kennedy airport

avoid all the tourist destinations except the observation deck on the empire state building which is awesome and the lines can be short in the morning

go to chicken guy on 53rd and 6th to meet nyc muslims and eat crappy halal food

It was the Mossad!!

we should have a ny/tri state islamican meet up when you come.

it shouldn't be long to get through at Kennedy airport, my cousin came from the UK and he had an Indian passport, it was quick.

you should go to the MET and Natural History Museum, lots of cool old stuff to see there. the MET is huge and it's free. Hopefully the Islamic art section will reopen by then. Typical tourist spots are Times Square (brand name stores, overpriced Madame Tussauds there but the London one is better), Empire State, Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and those open red tourist buses that take you overwhere in the city. There's Chinatown but I don't know how different it is from the London one. (I've heard ours is better. Tai Pan bakery on Mott St. is the best if you have a sweet tooth).

You must have a slice of ny pizza. and the chicken guy is a local favorite for guys.

I once saw the statue of liberty from the plane. I took off from the Albany Airport. NY looks so interesting and yet so boring at the same time. When my mind and senses get over stimulated by lots of activity, it shuts down and everything loses it's wow factor donchaknow :brother:
