Absolutely avoid traveling to the US if you don't have to, but New York and New Orleans aren't total dumps as portrayed by these cherry picked images. I'll also point out that residents of both those cities overwhelmingly oppose Trump and vote heavily Democratic. And New Prague? Never heard of it!

As a Minnesotan that knows New Prague I had a good laugh at a small midwestern town being thrown into this comparison.

New Prague isn't a bad place, but admittedly not a whole lot of touristy things to do there.

The inclusion of "New Prague", a place no one has heard of, really highlights OP's need to pit the US against something.

It's shit in the US and there's no guarantee you will enter or leave safely. That should be the end of it.

As a New Yorker, we won't hold it against you if you hold off on visiting, you do what is best for you.

New Prague is a small town of about 9,000 people in Minnesota. Iโ€™ve never been to New York or New Orleans but I love Minnesota and would welcome and encourage anybody whoโ€™s interested to visit.

I always planned to go there, given I lived in the OG Prague to see how much the Czech community in the US differs from us.

Well, hopefully in a few years or so.

If you ever make it stop off in Saint Paul and check out the C.S.P.S. Hall too!

Holy shit, Sokol in the US, now that's a surprise! Thanks, definitely will check it out if the US ever returns to normal.
