That's a huge gap lol. What did you think of it in '16 after not having gone again for 19 years?

i was visiting as a kid in the 90s, so '16 was my first proper visit, well into my adult years. 95, 97, and 19 were largely spent in queens visiting family.

pros: great restaurants, lots of history and culture, no shortage of sights if you admire architecture and arts, lots of interesting hidden spots only known to locals.
cons: rather expensive, sea of concrete with not much greenery (outside central park anyway), very dense, lots of rats, smelly streets, stark poverty, and getting around town quickly means either subway or taxi (though this is the case in most megacities). this largely applies to manhattan though.
