New York City vs. Los Angeles

[3005 332]

Two world cities, two entertainment capitals, the two American giants. But which do you prefer? 

[PsychedelicPony 440]

I like New York more, but I may be biased because I'm originally from that area, my favorite teams are New York teams, and my mother is from there.

[FractalMoon 378]

For a place to live, LA. For a place to visit, NYC (Specifically Manhatten)

[Sir Fluffernutter 435]

I've never been to LA, but I'd just like to point out how gorgeous Central Park is in autumn

 

+1 for NYC

I've never been to either of those cities, but I've always wanted to go to New York, so I'll go for that.

[Dattebayo 2,850]

I hate big cities...they always smell like garbage and are noisy.

I'll keep my small/medium sized town

[mars 4,863]

I live in LA, so I may be just a tad bit biased when I vote LA... Oh well.

Los Angeles simply for one reason. Beaches.

[Seaweed-Headed Dragon 359]

New York is very nice, Plus I was born right outside the city but I have to say, LA, 

[StarSwirlTheBearded 356]

I hate LA and like NYC somewhat.  LA is just the celebrity capital of the world, which makes it undesirable.  However, I voted for the Dodgers over the Yankees.

[FractalMoon 378]

I don't understand how people could prefer reliably apocalyptic snowstorms to the most gentle climate on earth. I really don't.

[Frostgage 7,982]

I'm an east coast guy, so of the two, New York. But we all know Boston is best city.

[Shawchert 120]

NY I am totally bias... I don't live in the city, but I live 6 hours drive as opposed to ... i don't know how many hours flight

Four. Plus a half hour or so layover around Texas. I know, I've made that flight like 7 times.

I've been to LA. Smog everywhere a cityline with smog and dirty to breathe in air. Crappy people just drive by a flaming car on the freeway. This was all on my summer vacation and good thing i'll never go back. I've always wanted to go to NYC since I assume it would be much better with much more to do.

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

For me I would have to say NYC, but I love LA for quite a few things, but being from nj New York will always be dear to my heart.

 

But, I love la quite a bit too.

[Duster Dawnhorse 248]

Seeing as I live in a city outside of Los Angeles I can tell you it's not that impressive. Maybe it's just because I'm a native and the magic has worn off. I can, however, give you guys a tour of just about every museum in the LA area because I've pretty much hit them all up. (Also, I don't live in baseball areas, it's all football in the San Gabriel Valley. Trojans or Bruins, take your pick.)

 

I have to ask, why is Inglewood up there? Inglewood is scary. It's not Oakland scary, but it's still pretty sketchy.

 

I visited NYC in the dead of summer which was kind of a mistake. I want to go back in the fall or winter.

I'm a surburban New "Jerseyian" so what I can tell you is, NYC is better than LA.  I, for one, go to the city pretty much everyday and just the area itself is extraordinary (dammit, now im talking like Rarity, lol).  Not to mention, NYC is the "cultural capital of the world" which is why we tend to have more tourists than other cities in this country (which tbh, surprised me).  However, for those who are interested into visiting NYC, try:

 

• Going through Central Park (Autumn)
• Rockefeller Center (Winter/Christmas time)
• Museum of Natural History (Gonna throw in Metropolitan Museum of Art) - Summer time
• Statue of Liberty (Summer time)
• USS Intrepid (Wanna meet the Shuttle Atlantis, its docked topside) - Summer Time
• Times Square (if you want souvenirs, thats the best place to go)

Im no tour guide, but thats pretty much the best areas to attend to if you wish to stay in the City.   If you are interested, feel free to ask me, .

Honestly I can say that I am not a big fan of any MAJOR city, I prefer the nice slow country life and am in no hurry to travel to a big ole city.

 

Give me an ole gravel road any day of the week!

New York City is clean...........only problem is........*darkens room, and turns on flashlight pointing up to face* Traffic.....

[FrozenRain 9]

LA has it's absolutely horrific traffic. It can sometimes take you hours to go maybe 30 miles if your lucky. The beaches aren't the cleanest, although some are quite nice. The smog is so bad you can't even see downtown half the time. I'm sure NYC has all of that but LA seems like the worst option. The Hollywood sign isn't all that grand, except maybe when the hill its on catches fire. NYC is where I would live.

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

New York seems like it'd be kind of boring. Then again I've never been there so I can't really judge it.

 

I have been to Los Angeles before though, and I had a great time there. The beaches, Disneyland, ect.

 

I guess if I had to pick I'd go with Los Angeles.
