>>Only time I spent in Brooklyn was when VS Live had a conference there at the NY Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge. Great area, but I was in-and-out so fast that I didn't get a chance to check it out. My family and I made our first day trip to NYC last month since COVID, so hopefully we'll get to see more of Brooklyn.

>San Francisco sucks! Your were lucky you spent fewer than 2 days there.

[shrug] Don't know what San Francisco is like nowadays -- hadn't been up there since the 1980s. I do recall back in the 1970s and 1980s it didn't seem too bad back when I'd visited the area (though mostly limited to places like Fisherman's Warf, Ghirardelli Square, parts of Chinatown and Japantown).
