no tv needed in nyc

when i live in the suburbs of md/dc i watch a fair amount of regular tv & cable. but in nyc - do not feel like watching tv - 'cause there is a lot going on all the time - right outside the window, whenever you go out the door. i bet a lot of people in nyc read when they need some kind of entertainment as opposed to watching tv because reading is less stressful/requires a different kind of attention paying, less busy. need to go watch a movie in a movie theater.
