I have removed the typical Sparafucil bigotry for you.
Are you really going to be a scrooge after all the valuable vacation advice I've given you?

Come on man, you can't really think you know NYC after five days? It's like saying you know London after 5 days (I lived there for a year and still don't know much of it).
I think I phrased it badly. When I ask what more is there to NYC, I mean "how is there so much more than Chicago?" rather than "how is there so muich more than 5 days worth?".

I know 5 days gets you the typical sight-seeing stuff without going deep at all. But too much more than that and i'd be bored anyway. Spara said NYC = 2 months worth and Chicago = 1 days worth. Just sounded a bit of an exaggeration.

You don't seem to be very good at taking the ribbing you dish out so much.

I would say to feel satisfied with visiting NYC by seeing 1-2% of what's there to be seen and hitting 10% of the tourist spots, you need about 1 week.

Chicago you'll need 2-3 days.

But NYC you can visit over and over again, without repeating anything. Chicago will probably start to wear after about 10 days total.

Typical British tabloid sensationalism.
The Guardian, or 'Teh Grauniad' as it's known by its readers, is not a tabloid.

I'm sure compared to The Sun or Daily Fail it's quite respectable.

If you somehow end up here in the upper middle part of the continent and it isn't winter, Minnesota has the Mall of America, nice place to roam even if you don't intend on buying anything (and you can buy everything). If you want to escape the world, try a hike up in the boundary waters area. If you're in Wisconsin, the Dells are a great getaway for a family or a couple, really nice scenery. South Dakota has some fun "wild west" historical locations, and with a good vacation plan you can really feel like you're smack dab in the middle of the 1860's if you like that sort of thing.

If you're up around here in the winter, you're best off just leaving, lol. But if you're stuck, get your ass on a snowmobile and have a blast, or find a ski mountain and pack something hot to drink in a thermos.

It is yes. By looking at the website you'd get a feel of that. I don't think they're necessarily being sensationalists with an article like the mad cow one.

I think the Guardian is worse than a tabloid personally, it's sensationalist left-wing clap trap that somehow manages to dedicate entire editions to the plight of the giraffe.

--- Post Update ---

The Guardian, or 'Teh Grauniad' as it's known by its readers, is not a tabloid.
Nicknames started by Private Eye should never be allowed to gain traction.
