Which one would you choose and why?
Which one would you choose and why?
I'd choose New York, but I'm so pissed I can barely type
Lived in both places for 10 years or so but not recently.
NYC prior to 911 would be my pick. Otherwise London.
I haven't been to either in a while and places change (and so do we)
Formerly I preferred NYC, but the stories I am hearing recently make me wonder. It does seem that Manhattan (at least) has peaked, and is in serial decline.
Greenwich Village (my older brother has a part-owned place there) for its individuality, then Battery Park . . . aside from that several areas of Brooklyn are nice.
London? That'd be my choice, but you're English and a travelling type.

^ Going to elaborate? What stories?
London for me, I used to live there and know it better than NY. That's important at my age. Perhaps if I was younger then NY might get another chance
...both options are crowded and very expensive...why bother?...
^ Very true, but they were the only two options in the question.
I am very happy now up in Isaan and wouldn't swap it at this moment in time for either.
My family might disagree.
Neither. Not a chance. No way. I can think of dozens of far, far better options.
So many. 3 I have lived in. Florence, Barcelona, Osaka.
Of the two, London has a slight edge as my spoken Urdu if better than my grasp of Ebonics.
...and 3 more: San Diego, Cordoba, Istanbul...
Port Louis; Delhi.
Sydney.
Milan.
Chiang Mai.
Loads of Delhis in New York I'm told.
Currently living in Chiang Mai and previously lived in London - anyone who thinks CM is better must either be insane or senile, or possibly both. And Delhi? Really?
London, for a two-month holiday. New York, depending on what's on at the Metropolitan Opera House.
