Has anyone been to East Coast recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.
