    I’ve made the mistake of driving in manhattan once, and it taught me two things. How to maneuver within gridlocked traffic, and why you take the subway in NYC.

      I’m not sure about this. After driving in the DC area, it was refreshing in Manhattan to know exactly what everyone was going to do. But, you do need to be an assertive, maybe aggressive driver.

        Chicago is very much like this to. When not gridlocked, I don’t mind driving in cities since the drivers are very predictable and polite (although impatient of you don’t commit). If convenient I’d still rather take a bus or train and not worry about it though.
