A brilliant city and a great place to visit but....
1. Why can't the marked prices on things include the NYC sales tax? It's
annoying when you
see something for sale for, say, 9.99 only to find you have to pay an
additional 8% or whatever
extra. In Europe the marked price is inclusive of all taxes. NYC should
catch up.
2. How come there are so few internet cafes? I eventually happened on one,
by sheer chance, in
West 33rd Street. In European cities they are plentiful. One would have
thought that with the
amount of visitors to NYC there would be a ready market for many more of
them in the city.
3. What's with all the honking? If traffic is held up for an instant there
is a cacophany of car horns
being sounded. Again, not something one hears in most European cities.
