One thing that takes some getting used to, at least for those of us who didn't grow up in the Big Apple, is the sheer quantity of PEOPLE and how they are all right here, stacked up together in high rise apartment buildings. These towers of people are EVERYWHERE you look...
We are lucky, because in the neighborhood between our apartment and school, it is pretty sparse and we have big shady sidewalks, so we never feel crowded or claustrophobic!!
