4:57 You cracked me up there. Let me say it for you: yes, it still smells - mostly the fishy garbage from restaurants and grocery stores.

We've just returned from our first trip to NYC, we stayed in midtown but did go into Brooklyn to walk over the bridge and got the subway back uptown from City Hall. We are aiming to return next year and will explore more of LM now that we've got the "tourist attractions" out of the way. Very informative video thank you.
