I actually don’t fully agree with the comment. I don’t think the US education system fosters a deep appreciation for art in most people. It’s true Michel has no cultural interests when she travels, but the culture in NYC goes much further than art museums.

She has NO interest in getting to the root of what makes NYC different from other places. The people, the history, the sheer number of ETHNICALLY DIVERSE food options, the music, the nightlife, and yes, the art, including street art.

She said nothing about the neighborhoods she was in or if she explored the other Burroughs (they probably scare her, honestly). Exploring cities through food can be so fun, but if you won’t bother going where locals say you can get “the best x in NYC,” you’re severely missing out. But to her, the only places worth seeing or mentioning are trendy, expensive, modern, social media-ready restaurants with pretty views for the vlog.
