Influencer mocks travelers who go to New York and claim it 'isn't like the movies at all'

Sometimes New York is not like the movies, which one TikTok user perfectly encapsulated in satirical now-viral video.

'New York City, is like, not what I thought it was going to be,' Benton begins the TikTok, with faux tears streaming down his face.

'It's so lonely, it's disgusting, it's so dirty,' he moaned, before listing why it's not as glamorous as he thought.

'Haha so good! lol same 27 years ago,' one user laughed.
