Anyway, Where in NY did you visit? If it was any type of suberb, meaning not in the city, but not too far north of the city, then it's pretty similar to where i'm from.. My girlfriend is from NY, she lives about an hour and 15 North of the city, and her town is very similar to mine..

RI is pretty cool though, if you can get over the fact that you're always going to run into people you know.. I live about 10-15 from Providence, which seems close, but i don't live a "city" lifestyle.. It's all suburban here for the most part.. Few small rural towns, and of course down south we have the beaches and some real nice areas.. can't complain for a small state.
In NY we stayed in Manhattan but visited Brooklyn, Bronx and got the ferry to Staten Island (If that's how you spell it ), great place and back home everyone states how it would be there dream to visit NYC seriousley.

Sound like RI is a cool place, I live North Liverpool so like you not "city" lifestyle and I've have always wanted to do a full tour of the US as it's a place I'm interested in living when I'm older, my family and I are going to Las Vegas to stay at the Mandalay Bay next year once I finish college and I can't wait .
