Are you able to enjoy the city?

During one of my internships I spoke to an associate in NYC, we were talking about pizza places around the city. He told me “unfortunately I haven’t been able to explore the city much”

2+ years in the job and still he was unable to explore the city.

Nyc is the most premier city on this earth from its shopping, restaurants, fashion, and money. During the day, streets, cafes and shops are filled with people.

In this industry, are you even able to enjoy it? With the exception of a Saturday down to the LES once a month?
