I lived in both and Chicago rocks! Clean, amazing beaches, festivals, street fairs, business climate, the pedway, architecture, great parks, golf courses at the lakefront, the harbors, bike paths, fishing, volleyball, sports, food, people, Museums, Navy Pier and, of course our skyline is brilliant. Just a kick city and so convenient. NYC has its attributes, great for business, then get out.
I wouldn't go near NY if they gave me the trip! Too many people! Upper state would be ok, but Not the city itself! Keep in mind, I live 20 miles from anywhere, and Love it! Chicago holds no great attraction for me either, but if I was forced to choose, I would take Chitown.
I'll pick the lesser of two evils. I hate cities to start with. Huge culture shock for me. I live in what was just voted the most peaceful state in the country. To much human activity for me in the city. When i breath the air where I am, I smell sea salt and pine combined.
you have your opinion and I have mine. Oh Good God you're a libertarian, so yes by all means you must be right in at least your own head and my opinion means nothing as far as your concerned. So by all mean shoot your mouth off, like the rest of your lost little friends.
OK GIRL LETs FIGHT !!! PUT UP UR DUKES,, ok maybe your Daisies
LOL... Chicago has better pizza, nothing beat Chicago style. But when it come to Sandwiches New Yorkers have the world beat !
But see I'm a Big ole Ape and love the overstuffed, Ole school mafia style food of New York. The Chicago food is only second best to New York. I'm From Peoria IL and spent a life time growing up if the windy City area.
I can agree with that! I lived there long enough to have my fave delis. I was a sous chef on L.I. and even I make my own out here! Another thing is this bakery (I sorely miss) in Brooklyn, been there forever, and the name eludes me, best cake and buttercream frosting in the world. I also miss grabbing a quick bouquet of flowers on my way to Penn after a crazy day of work.
Let's say we are even on food and restaurants. If they can't make it as good as me, I will not go to a restaurant. I'm pretty good; my mom owns a kick restaurant in Tokyo for 65 years, and I can throw down! 300 dinners a night and not once was anything ever sent back (NY) and it was a Continental Restaurant. ; )
Pizza - advantage Chicago
Attitude - advantage Chicago (tough, but not douche-y)
Cleanliness - advantage Chicago (Lake Michigan vs. Hudson, for example)
I've lived in New York City, Los Angeles, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. I have visited Chitcago, Dallas, Las Vegas, and other American cities and NONE of them have anything on New York City.
