Wrong, Venice has many good places and a lot of tourist traps, and from what
I read here the latter are doing a great business. WHat about collecting
soem information before going to Venice to get ripped on everything?

And this IMHO doesn't mean that Manhattan "giant rip off, a tourist trap",
it simply means that people can go to tourist traps or avoid them, nothing
else. The issue is people being not-informed and falling into toruist traps
at every step, not Manhattan or Venice or any other touristic place.
