Chicago is better than NYC

Thanks. That's the funniest joke I've heard all day.

Gonna bite by posting here, but way to make my day a little brighter by reminding me again why NYC is the center of the business universe in the US.

I've actually never been to Chicago, so I can't chime in on that. I'm very fond of New York, but there are many great cities in the US. On the east coast, I personally love New York and DC. Boston is cool, not really my thing. Philly has some cool spots as well. You can find fun pretty much anywhere, it all depends on what you're looking for.

I happen to agree with you Chicago (and I have spent a good deal of time in both cities), but who cares? Obviously, NY has the better finance opportunities. I think most people who give it a fair chance would agree that Chicago is a better city outside of the NY name (but not all). But, ultimately, its a personal choice. You like Chicago, as I do, others like NY - its really ok either way.

Are you sponsored by the Chicago Area Tourist Society or something? If not, I don't understand the point of posting.

Chicago has hotter chicks than NYC? Please.

Is it better to live there? Possibly, based on what you want. Lower COL, cleaner city, relaxed culture. Less long-term opportunity. Uglier broads. I think that many people just head over to NYC without properly evaluating their alternatives, but for the truly ambitious (and horny), it's the place to be.

Chicago is a great starter city. When you are ready to play with the big boys come back.

You never have to worry about a DD in NYC. For example, last night at dinner my fiance and I decided to have 2 bottles of wine, in Chi-town or pretty much anywhere else that wouldn't be an option. In NY, I walked outside and got a dirt cheap cab, if it had been earlier I would've hopped onto the dirt cheap subway. In Chi-town I would've probably driven to dinner in the first place so I would have to either not have drunk the wine, take a cab home and then pickup the car in the morning, or something else unreasonable.

oasising,

you should visit chicago and check out the upscale clubs/lounges in west loop and river north and the plethora of bars in lincoln park. the girls you'll see at these places blow away the chicks in NYC. the hottest sorority girls from Big 10 colleges move to chicago, not NYC.

Well I guess that settles it. NYC only has educated, cultured women. Chicago wins.

and models but they are so 2006

hey douchebag, go back to the leveraged sellout.

do you even have a job or do you spend your days trolling wall street message boards instigating this ridiculous debate?

"its the running joke now, we now have fair trade with china so they send us poisoned sea food and we send them fraudulent securities."

to read, but not worthy of a serious response.

I just had to show my appreciation to those that ridiculed the original poster.

Ha ha ha. Well done.

i understand that you guys are jealous of Chicago's superiority over NYC, but get over it. everyone i know who are familiar with both cities agree that Chicago is better in every way.

Interesting, but I'm still locking this thread.
