Bingo!!
I lived in NYC for 20 years so maybe my opinion is skewed to the negative...
If you don't live in the lower half of Manhattan, that convenience argument goes out the window. I can't tell you how many times I waited for the 1 train in Times Sq. at 2am after a movie for over an hour. And I remember being angry and asking myself "isn't this NYC? the city that never sleeps? Where is the freaking train??"
Cabs get expensive, unless your traveling 15 blocks.
I honestly think Manhattan is a great place to visit, but not live. Then again, I personally like open space, palm trees, beaches. It's a wonder I never moved out to the west coast.
