Agreed but this leads me to NYC problem #2 - getting to all the awesome places is a god damn burden. If I want good falafel am I supposed to go all the way from Murray Hill to Taim in the West Village?!  Accesibility is just a major issue in the city, even with all the subways. There is a giant difference between taking a 20 minute car ride, where I just relax and yell at bad drivers inside my bubble, vs taking a 20 minute subway ride, where I rage with disgust at the world - only one leaves me severely depressed.

Sure, I could go with Postmates to get something but if its farther than a mile away it's gonna come cold and all shitty.

In summary, I'm a very bitter cynical person who should probably not live in NYC.
