I would say LA

I agree

New York...Carnegie Deli, Central Park(great run, walk) Museums, always unique exhibits, can probably do it cheap, I don't know how? Anyone can contribute here who might know. Few times I've been there are always lifelong experiences. Shopping in Soho saw Mario Batelli walking along in pink socks and orange clogs. Thought he was gay. Street stuff...in downtown Manhatten...with a friend who's an attorney.."keep moving, all that entertainment going on distracts from the pickpockets working in the background". LOVE the place.

L.A. all day everyday and twice a week on Sunday.... Plus NYC is way overpriced and doesn't have nice beaches like us!

New Yawk Citayyyy

culture...clubs...the city that never sleeps....LaLa land is so artificial you'll think it had plastic surgery..

not even a question ... NYC

No question: NYC.

LA is soul-less, polluted...just not as nice as NYC at all. All my friends who have visited both also choose NYC hands down over LA. NYC rocks.

I have only visited both a couple of times but I would have to say being an adopted londoner NYC would be my choice to live, LA is great but just for hols IMHO

the kind that hop on the bus and try to get out of paying before complaining about the high price of fares. Then they sit there waiting to die as they tour the city.

Spookymuffin said:

so... get posting man!! tell us what weekend in October is best

Natisse said:

Done.

New York!!!! It's a wonderful town.

NYC. I haven't been there, but I've been to LA, so. . . NYC.

nyc.. it's the center of the universe.

NYC !!!!

There is no choice NYC all the way.

There's nothing like NYC. Nothing.

Fuck New York city Yeah I said it Left coast is the best coast mutha fucka's!!! (I've visited NYC many times... cool and gritty... but no way does it beat L.A.!!)

LA all the way.

I love both but there's no place like NYC.

Los Angeles no doubt about that. I just came from there this weekend for 4 days and I love the place. I lovethe people, (HISPANICS) They are so beautiful!!
The liquor store stays open 7 days a week open til 2am. Highways good, just everything about that city!! New York OK but i think is overrated!!

Are you trying to decided which city to move to? Or just visit?

If you're going to move to one or the other, here are some things to consider:

You wouldn't need a car in NYC, the subway can take you pretty much anywhere you need to go. Technically you can get around via public transportation in LA (I've done it), but it's a pain in the ass.

Will you be looking for a job? What field/career? If you have aspirations to be on the silver screen or in music, then LA is the place to go. But if you are in fashion, art, finance, acting (Broadway), journalism then you gotta be in NYC. (Politics? DC. )

Then there's the weather. New York in the summer is awful. It smells, it's hot, it's humid, did I mention it smells? And winter is cold and snowy (which I love). LA of course is more temperate, but there's the possibility of earthquakes or forest fires, right? And smog...and pesky sunshine. lol.

Don't forget the nightlife. LA bars close at 1am, right? It's all about the 'after-party.' Here bars are open all night. New York City never sleeps, ever...you want Indian food at 4am? No problem. You want pizza at 4:30am, and bagel and lox at 5am? You can have it! You can walk around Times Square at 3am and there are so many people out you'd think it was 9pm.

And culture: Broadway, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, museums galore! You can get cheap/free tickets to a lot of stuff if you know where to look...(I just saw Sweeney Todd for free last Friday.)

NYC gets my vote. Admittedly, I'm biased, but honestly, New York has it all!



orgnote me if you have specific questions about NYC, I'd be happy to try to answer them.

at this moment all

LA wins
