I had to spend a couple of weeks in the town years ago, and the smell alone means I can never eat Chinese food again. Apparently every inch of NYC is downwind of a shitty Chinese buffet and an overflowing dumpster.
"Just another city"?! If it were just another city, then you could film in Toronto or Vancouver every scene meant to be New York and no one would tell a difference! Avengers took place in New York and you can see all the major New York attractions as the camera zooms by at street level like... Honest Ed's Canadian Emporium.

I live an hour or so away and I've only been there twice in the last four years.
I'm told the smell of the streets is "magical".
