NYC vs. LDN

[Fawkes]

I mean, we all know which one is actually cooler, but anyway....

[Il Medico]

i've been to NY, It was awesome. Never been to London, can't say.

[leftace53]

Been to both. NYC is too city, London was the shit.
Hotter people in London.

[Fawkes]

I mean, we did invent punk AND hip hop, London has... crumpets?

**here comes a shitstorm**

[leftace53]

london has old shit. nyc has spiderman's workplace

[Stranger Than Paradise]

London!!!!

[this is an invasion]

Nyc.

[Pirate Utopian]

Havent been to either, but NY seems cooler. I'm going to NY in october.

[Tablo]

Been to both and I greatly preferred London. It was a much nicer city overall. New York is my least favorite major city I have visited.

[Sperm-Doll Setsuna]

Both disgusting dirty shit holes.

Thats because you haven't visited Toronto.
NYC is definitely near the bottom of my cities visited list as well.

Really that bad? My father used to live there, but all he told me about it is that it is really fucking cold.

[Il Medico]

dunno. I voted London just to piss the Op off. NYC is an awesome place though. You guys are crazy. Atl is awesoem too. Pretty much all cities in Florida are shit. And Birmingham smells horrible. Savannah is nice. Nashville was okay from what I saw (only briefly stopped there to get gas and eat.)
ummm...yeah that's all the big cities I've been to.
NYC was top dog out of them. But in all fairness I've never been out of the states.

It sucks ass. There are some decent festivals and stuff going on here and there, but really, unless you're at harbourfront the rest of it is pretty shitty.

I think my favourite city is Paris, then Montreal, London, Singapore City, Washington DC (does that count as a major city?), NYC, and lastly Toronto. There are of course some cities that I discarded automatically because they are probably not big enough - Calgary/Edmonton, or ones that I just hated like Calcutta.

[Il Medico]

Damn leftace, you're well traveled. I love traveling, but have never got that far. Hell, I only got out of the South once and that was NYC, and that was just this year. I can't wait to get to Paris, though my college isn't helping the likelihood that it will be next summer by canceling the class. :mad:

[leftace53]

I love travelling, I wish to never have to settle down in one place so that I can change locations every year or so. I am decently travelled yes, I suppose I can attribute it to my mother's penchant for seeing the world, but by no means am I done travelling!

[Lenina Rosenweg]

They're both interesting, cool cities. London can be very expensive and you can burn though money fast (at least I did). London has a sort of energy and musical excitement, hard to explain. Its on a more approachable scale than New York, which can seem like an over whelming megalopolis. There's a backpacker scene in London centered around Earl's Court. There is (or was) a cheap camp area in Hackney, a bus ride out.

People in London are obnoxious to one another. New Yorkers are gruff and combative, but there's a type of rough tolerance that's developed. New Yorkers have seen everything and won't look twice at someone with five heads.

The museums in New York-the Guggenheim, the MOMA, the Frick, Museum of Natural History, are a must see, IMHO. I haven't been to many museums in London but it also has a lot to offer.

Greenwich Village was the famous hipster area since around the 1890s. Its yuppified and very touristy. Real bohos are out in Brooklyn now. In London Portobello Road, Camden Town are supposed to be the hipster areas. It was the "scene" area in the '60s. Now its completely phony.

New York has a rough, gritty energy too it.

Both cities are "must see" places, I think. I grew up in the New York area and I've been there w/my parents 100s of times.For me London was more exotic, as strange as this sounds.

If you know people or have people you can stay with in a city it can change your whole of experience of the place.

People in the US generally don't like New Yorkers, they're considered pushy, rude, and arrogant.People in the UK generally don't like London.

Both cities have been gentrified a lot w/in the past 30 years or so. Both have become "suburbanized" and lost a lot of the funky excitement of cities. English people say London has become "Americanized".

Both cities are incredibly diverse with people from all over the planet. To me that's what makes both cities cool, although in different ways.

I know this doesn't help much. I'd say if you live anywhere in North America, go to London. If you live anywhere else, go to New York.

The Doctor and Leftacre should go to London together. You really gotta. You can get a cheap flight in the fall months.

Oh yes, I will meet up with a complete stranger and run off to a foreign land with the stranger. How feasible.

Me too. My traveling experiences have been a little different. I've been all over the South East. I've been to every southern state except Virgina and Louisiana. (And Texas I suppose) This was pretty much confined to my 6-11 years. Mostly due to my Dad's job seeking, which took us all over the place. They don't really like to travel. They think Orlando is a far way wonderland and was shocked when I said I was heading to New York, let alone by myself. (Traveling is also apparently a family affair in their opinion.)I plan to travel a bit here in North America before I head to Europe after college. Canada, particularly Quebec providence is on my list. I'd really like to see Montreal and Quebec city. I hope to go to Paris next summer, however, the likeliness of this has slimmed. Anyways, yes, I will travel till I get stabbed in some back alley after a drunken bar brawl. I have to make up for these 10 + year of absolute boredom somehow.

[leftace53]

Indeed, I am hoping to spend a year of school in europe as well, though I haven't quite figured out where I want to go. I forgot Quebec city, it is much cozier than Montreal, and I was only there for a short time in winter (which reminds me, I have a free hotel stay there lololo) to visit the Ice Hotel. French Canada is pretty much the cool part of Canada, along with the relaxed air of the Maritimes, and the Rocky Mountains out west.

[Pretty Flaco]

Obviously the correct answer is WALES

which isn't a city...
BUT WALES

[Tablo]

My favorite cities are Paris and San Diego.

Hold up, I've thought this through. All of The Doctor's companions hopped on the Tardis with little to no knowledge about him (or his Tardis). So if we switch up a plane for the Tardis, and London with the Universe, then I will gladly run away with a stranger to a strange land.:thumbup1:

Been to London. Lived in NY.
Both are overpriced, gentrified tourist hellholes, void of any real culture.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

NYC has the best dancing hobo's to have ever existed.

Yeah, Times Square maybe, but you couldn't be more wrong about NY. Yeah, certain areas have been gentrified a lot, but the village ain't the only place culture exists/existed in NYC. Try going up to the Heights and tell me there is no culture at all.

maldoror was a stranger I met in a strange land. He's pretty cool.


Come to think of it, all the strangers in that strange land were pretty cool.


I rescind my disapproval on the possibility of meeting cool people.


And you're not that big mate.

[Weezer]

I've actually only been to London, but I voted NYC cuz of Brooklyn accents.

[black magick hustla]

And you're not that big mate.

[Il Medico]
