      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.

      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.

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