New York
Chicago

lots of variables in play.

And are you talking the city proper or surrounding area?

 

[Cy$]

where is the neither option?

Compare the two metro areas, but my question leans more towards the city itself. Suburbia is suburbia everywhere.

I think most on here will say Chicago because of the Midwest bias but since NY Style Pizza is 10x better than that Deep Dish stuff Chicago calls pizza. I am going with NYC.

based on this Chicago is way better. the deeper the better.

I spent a week in south chicago for a voluntold project in high school. it shaped my opinions about the city for years to come.

If I had to choose amongst major US urban areas to live in or to visit Chicago would be very close to last and New York would be in the top handful.

New York is better, but Chicago doesn't smell as much as a toilet as NYC.

I think my answer would be different based on if I'm visiting vs. living. Not sure I'd want to live in NYC long-term, but it's fun to visit for sure.

If we're defining major as top 50 from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population

I see a lot more I DON'T want to live in than I do.

I hate the state of Illinois. I like to visit Chicago but I wouldn't want to live there.

Only been to NYC once and it was for the Pinstripe Bowl so I have a ****** taste in my mouth because of that.

I guess Chicago has The Second City Improv, so I will say Chicago.

 

[CarlHungus]

Never been to NYC, but based on the pizza the answer is Chicago

 

[CyArob]

New York easy.

 

[mj4cy]

I need to experience real NYC (not just a night stuck in queens from a missed flight) to give it a fair comparison.


Chicago is a blast albeit not as easy logistically for me as is KC, Omaha, Minneapolis ect.
