SFMOMA<\/a>:<\/p>\n

So as romantic as all of that sounds, none of it is to be envied. And\u00a0the crowds<\/a>, as mesmerizing as they can be when you come to Manhattan for a short visit, can grind even the most sane person down into a shadow of his or her former self. If you don\u2019t watch out the crowds will sap all of your energy and make you very cranky. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve met these abrasive New Yorker types before, so take my word for it \u2014 you don\u2019t want to become one.<\/p>\n

But maybe you can blame that on Brooklyn. Manhattan is flooded with people from Brooklyn 24 hours a day, so the Manhattan population figure I quoted is deceptively low. If you add it all together \u2014 Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island are collectively called New York City \u2014 the five boroughs have a combined population of 8,175,133. And that\u2019s not counting all the tourists! So before you start talking about how you want to move to New York so bad because San Francisco sucks, remember\u00a0what happened<\/a>\u00a0to King Kong.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I always wanted to live in NYC…then I lived in SF and realized NYC is 10x the amount of people. Insanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SFMOMA: So as romantic as all of that sounds, none of it is to be envied.
