Dated amenities, inefficient layouts, an unappealing interior, and unnecessarily long wait times for absolutely everything have consistently ensured JFK remains on the list of worst airports in theTill then, only opt for JFK if you are a fan of impossible traffic. Because I value my sanity, my previous trip in June this year saw me land at Newark Liberty International Airport, despite it being in New Jersey, just a 45-minute bus ride away from NYC.
Next year, the longest running Broadway show – Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, will celebrate its 30th Broadway anniversary. Situated between the Upper East and West Sides, Central Park is always abuzz with artists trying their new jazz track, theatre students who need an audience for their latest Shakespeare production, and buskers who will accept any change you may have for them, including rands, to my surprise.
Come to think of it, it is like Johannesburg’s Small Street Mall or Tshwane’s Marabastad on steroids, brought to life by corn dog vendors, photographers hustling to make a quick buck, and Nigerian scammers looking to make an even quicker buck.This time around, having spent a week in the heart of the beast, NYC also proved to be the most frustrating place on earth.
