As someone that grew up both places, MD doesn't compare to NY. It's cleaner and a better place to raise your kids, but that's about it. What do you love about MD that made you stop and say that NY is overrated?
Yo realtalk, New York may be the worst city ever

Naw, not really. I'd take the country parts of NY over MD's anyday. Better major city, better suburbs, better rich area, better rural area.

eh that comparison is kind of apples to oranges though. Niagara falls is a tourist attraction while OC is a place to go relax and for the nice ocean.

I've only been to niagra falls a few times, I visit Buffalo more often. The amount of places to eat is great and I wish we had a Wegmans where I live.

Very true. These are the NYers that we see and hear out here that we learn to hate. Point blank....SF is just different. I was just getting crap from my coworker how it sucks that SF has no rooftop bars or any good delis. I am like dude....that is like going to Italy and complaining how there is no good Chinese. You just can't want something out there that doesn't necessarily exist.
Well, our public transportation in just SF is fine. To get around is easy and even getting taxis/Ubers are easy as well. What makes public transportation bad is say for people that work here. Obviously cost of living is super high but our trains only go so far out where a lot of people still have to drive to the city or drive to the nearest train. Our trains need to expand and that'd help out and give more options for people to even live farther away from work where it is cheaper.
It doesn't even compare.
Overall BART is crap compared to any other decent public transit system.
It's GREAT for getting to a handful of downtown city centers aka commuting to and from work but that's it.
I'm being harsh because that was quite literally it's only intended purpose when it was funded but all things considered, it's pretty subpar for a world class city.

it's bedtime hunny, go put your PJ's on, you know you start talking reckless when your tired.

Being near JFK is not NYC. So if you're staying there then yes renting a car is worth it.

Better off staying by laguardia if possible.
If you'll just be doing tourist stuff, I doubt you should rent a car.

Good looks.. If I was solo, rent a car would def be a no go and I'd b foot soldier. Just curious on the ride via subway & time from queens to the attractions/manhattan on the weekends and if it's safe with lil kids

It's safe fam. Def nothing to worry about .
If you doing the tourist thing, subways is part of your whole experience.
Not to mention the time you'll waste looking for parking.
It's just not worth it if you trying to hit up downtown manhattan.
