20 Places in New York Even Locals Refuse to Visit

What's One Place in New York That You Refuse to Visit?

People did not hold back when I asked on our social media, "What's One Place in New York That You Refuse to Visit?" Some answers were obvious, while others were very specific, and I wish they gave the backstory as to why. Some people wrote off the whole state saying stuff like, "NY.....but I live here so I have no choice...."
