You ever notice that rarely if ever anyone makes a nyc is better than this city thread, and you know why? When you're on top you don't have to worry about those that beneath you.

The king never worries about the peasants...its always the other way around :troll:

No diss London, im just talking about NYC specifically
Most us of non-east coasters think y’all are a lot of talk.

Nah, NYC is better.

In terms of infrastructure, London is better. I think that America as a whole has lower standards when it comes to things like pavements and buildings although as I am writing this Grenfell comes to mind.

People, vibe, things to do, NYC is leagues ahead.
If I’m not mistaken London got rebuild after WWII so their infrastructure is newer.

@othello...

Honestly London And nyc about equal but they can tip over each other on the scale depending on what you’re looking for

Nyc is way more livelier but there’s a lot more solid events and activities to frequent in London

Infrastructure alone goes to London but in nyc shyt is right there for you Or legit just around the corner

NYC is one of the greatest cities in the world. The city that never sleeps. A vibe that makes you feel alive. However, NYC hasn't been the same since covid and since 9/11

A influx of New Yorkers have moved to the south, west or overseas because a majority of our paychecks go directly into taxes. study-reveals-us-states-with-highest-taxes-heres-where-new-york-ranks

Crime rates have remerged since 2020 and NYC has been witnessing one of its worst eras in random killings. In London, the different is that most people use knifes instead of guns. Still, a problem we have to face.

Weather. NYC is at best during the summer and spring. Sundresses with fat asses, festivals, parties, etc. The winter don't come here, you'll gonna end up doing the Harlem Shake for hours:mjlol:

Our nightlife doesn't stop until the next morning. Only a few cities can compare to us. Should've came here in the early 00's and 90's when nightlife was at its zenith!

Our boroughs got it's own character. Their own themes. Our boroughs paint a story just from traversing from neighborhood to neighborhood. You can say certain neighborhoods can go neck to neck with London due its diversity.

We have some of the greatest pizza in the world. And you don't even have to spend much! Our $1 dollar pizzas is to die for (just don't put a lot of grease lol). Chicago comes close.

We're the mecca of hip hop, one of the capitals of hustle culture, swag, trends, etc. We birth some of the greatest rappers in the game till this day.

I haven't been to London, I plan too by next year. A lot of things I admire about London is the accents, diversity, the lack of political correctness, Nottingham Carnaval, the baddies, the history of Liverpool, Drill, culture, architecture, etc. No lie, some of y'all british white women's teeth be looking like gang signs no cap:russ:

Afte a trip to London the main takeaway is it’s just like NY

Some nggas would probably love London bc of that, but for me it’s a downside. If you go half way across the world you want some culture.

However london’s biggest benefit is it’s a hub to travel quickly and cheaply to other countries that do have culture.

But ultimately it’s not 2 places you can compare, 2 different situations. It’s like saying ‘apple pie > pizza’.

New York and London are for completely different personalities.

London is cleaner, newer infrastructure but has less of a distinct culture. In London it’s like white people are the main character and minorities are NPCs. The European energy drowns out all the other ethnicities to a point that it’s a very white city. That’s why Pop Smoke blew up faster and bigger than any UK drill rapper while using their sound

Even with gentrification real NY culture is made by the natives and minorities. It’s the minorities and diversity that gives it flavor. The “dirtiness” and shyt that out of towners cry about is part of NY’s charm. Everybody don’t wanna be around uptight British folks with accents and perfect grammar. If that’s your style then NY ain’t for you
