Did you visit both places? Both of them have a decidedly different feel... I recommend spending a few days in both. I love Chicago...NYC is pretty amazing.
Only thing more expensive in NYC is the rent (and don't even think of buying a home), but it's pretty insane. Pay is higher as a result, though (usually).

Personally, I'd rather be in Chicago for the pace of life, despite the terrible weather.

I've never lived in New York, but I've been in Chicago for 12 years so I've got to say Chicago.

Shit gets real fast here in New York. We recently had a tattoo parlor in bed-stuy get robbed of $1000, all their flat screens and computers stolen, and the robbers thought it'd be a good idea to rape one of the customers before they escaped the scene.
Also recently Menachem Stark was kidnapped outside his office in Williamsburg. The search for an abducted Brooklyn landlord came to a gruesome end when his smoldering body was found in a dumpster outside a Long Island gas station.

Chicago is a slightly bigger better Boston / Toronto.
New York is New York. There is nothing like New York.

What kind of a peasant raves about pizza as a good food?
NYC has crappy weather.
Plenty of FANTASTIC restaurants.
Plenty of work.
Lots of walking.
Lots of interactions with strangers (good and bad).
Lots of attractions.
Plenty of culture.
Lots of lost artistic souls making cool shit without much aim in life.Lived in NYC for 18 years.

- So only peasants can enjoy pizza? wtf?dopepope
- The same can be said of almost any major city...certainly chicagomarychain
- Chicago is lame compared to nyc. It's like it's a wannabe version.monospaced

chicago has deep dish pizza only.. while nyc has nyc pizza of all kinds and its best of the world..
i said it in the first post and ill say it now.. and i live in florida too.. goto new york.. fuck all the other states. you will earn more, make more opportunities, deliver more and receive more.
if you are stuck on cost of living.. why not try it? and decide if you cant hack it.. there is always chicago..
florida sucks so much that since i left nyc for this job that i always wanted has been a let down.. so i can relate to your annoyances of this ridiculous state.
nyc has everything to offer.. it is up to you to figure your place out.. i can say that the rest of america cant offer that same thing in the slightest.. maybe they have their own environments .. but i like to think that from all the nt'rs i ever met who left their home for nyc love it .. just reading dinky's posts in this thread should make it worth it.. hell he left canada which is basically chicago.. and he love nyc!! everything that brings him newness is because of nyc only..
or just listen to us pure bloods.. we were born there. we arent telling you to come.. in fact most new yorkers dont want more people flocking us for the reasons we love it so much.. meh..
deep dish pizza?!?! what the fuck dominoes is that?!!?
wack ass garbages!!! and their weather sucks balls!!
:P
- NYC is totally a good place to figure things out... whereas Chicago is a place to settleSigDesign

It's always New York vs X
There is a reason why.
Wait, did you google 'greatest city in the world' yet?
- 20020
I don't even know why we are having this debate. If you can't decide on New York, it's not a city for you.
- SigDesign0
had to google the greatest city thing... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/propeā¦ ... half are in Australia?! These top ten lists are so dumb
- 20020
Yeah top ten are dumb. thats why when you look at the result, it just says new york, new york, new york, new york, new york..
