It was many years ago and NYC was in the midst of a garbage strike. I was unprepared for her green appearance and a bit of aghast. Everything in NYC surprised me at how dirty it appeared including her.

One really cool thing about NYC, and a few other places, is that when you go there, you get to see all of these things in person that you have seen on TV and in the movies. That is kind of cool.
Being a Cali guy, I was also struck by how ethnic the people are. In Cali we had white people. In NYC people are Italians, Puerto Ricans, Russians, Jews, Irish, Greek, Chinese, etc. I know it sounds tacky, but I also recall noticing how much shorter people were and that a lot of them were ugly.
