City vs suburbs

This is my first time living in a city in US. So, I find myself comparing the city life with life in suburbs. Here are some things that I found amusing about city life:

• Closest Walmart store is 30 miles away where as closest bookstore is 0.3 miles away :)
• I have done more walking in last 4 days in Cambridge than the entire past month when I was in NJ.
• Even if you eat out every day of the week, you need not repeat going to the same restaurant twice. (And you do end up eating out a lot!)
• No more chain restaurants such as Dominos or Panera Bread. You have plenty of better options!
• Since space is precious, everything inside and outside home becomes smaller in size including the dishwasher, the closet, bedrooms and the parking lots.
• Queues. There are queues everywhere, and for everything, such as to order food or to enter a restaurant for being seated, to pick up your order and sometimes, even to enter a shop. People are used to waiting in lines, and they do stand patiently in queues.
• Surprise.. city life is expensive! A service at a salon that used to cost $5 in NJ costs three times more in Boston!
