Chicago can be interesting.... you just have to look around, it rewards exploration. I lived here without a car for quite some time... The CTA Trains / busses are quite usable, especially if you're being entertained by the occasional person with chemically enhanced brain cells....
Yes, some deep dish pizza is bad, especaily the next moring if you eat too much of it!
Yes, you can live a handful of blocks away from hipster central for a reasonable rent. This gives you the freedom to not have to take soul crushing gigs, so you don't have to spend your time on earth advertising toilet paper in order to pay the huge rent...
There is interesting work here, but you have to look.... it's not quite like NYC where great stuff is all over...
If you have a place to crash and a pretty solid offer, NYC is great, I've known a few friends who moved to NYC then came back after a few years, due largely to being burned out by costs, smells and having to keep jobs that they didn't love to pay the rent....
