LA = need car
NYC = car?!
--------------------------------...
LA = strip malls
NYC = no malls
--------------------------------...
LA = no seasons. only summer. zzzz
NYC = 4 seasons. subway-summer=gross, winter=dirty
--------------------------------...
LA = ocean-60% contamination
NYC = ocean-freezing
--------------------------------...
LA = good food can be found, but it's usually either far or expensive
NYC = good food everywhere. there is also plenty of shitty food.
--------------------------------...
LA = nightlife is filled with hookers and plastic people and restaurant staff
NYC = nightlife is filled with hipsters, stock brokers, and cool people...and restaurant staff
--------------------------------...the list couldgo on and on, but I wouldgive a +1 for NYC over LA any day of the year.
- i disagree with the last point, you're not partying in the right placesscarabin
- that is probably true. i have been to some fun clubs and parties in LA. but this is more in general terms.lvl_13
- why is the "right places" so hidden and underground/?e-pill
- this is why NYC is better because it has that and everything in between..e-pill
- when i lived in LA yes once you found the spots it was heaven, but finding was not..e-pill
- thats wack, for even the people that live there.. in nyc anywhere you go is perfect.e-pill

it was easier to find healthy eating options in LA and the asian food (thai, japanese/sushi, chinese) was better than NY. the serious gourmet shit in NY can't be beat though.

I have to admit since you made this thread though I'm longing to be in Los Angeles again, but maybe that's just the pressure of my impending five years in New York playing tricks on me... It sure would be nice right now though.
- your in brooklyn or manhattan? maybe we should switch apt. ? lol.akrokdesign
- or wait. apt. in NY is like a walk in closet in L.A. lol.akrokdesign
