Good opportunity to see other boroughs
This was a great opportunity to see other boroughs. Harlem, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens have a few tourist attractions but they’re mostly residential. So visitors to NYC rarely have cause to venture outside Manhattan. We enjoyed seeing the contrast between the different boroughs as well as hearing Sebastian’s local perspective and commentary. Sebastian focused on economic issues, race, crime, religion, rent prices, etc and how all these factors affect the greater NY community. We learned a lot about NYC beyond Manhattan.
