Other than it costs a pretty penny to get there, stay and eat/libations...
Has anyone done this?
What are you opinions either way?
I did this with my GF last year. Aside from the bitter cold which several have already pointed out, it's definitely it's own world. Look in the right places you can find some of the best food in America. There are some fantastic museums. Speakeasies, if that's your thing, hark back to early NYC, and the various tourist accouterments that dress the city seem to shine a little brighter under an NYC winter. It's a city that you can make in to your own no matter what, and if you only go once, go.
