Is it worth it to spend a weekend in LA?

I'm right next to NYC. LA sounds like a nice place with good weather and nice women. But you can find the same thing in NYC during the summer (with arguably more attractive women). Whats there to do in LA that cannot be done in NYC?

I am originally from NY and now live in LA and it really all depends what you are looking for. Like money mentioned, public transit systems is light years ahead in NY. But the girls is not even comparable IMO. You said it yourself, you can find them in the summer in NY. LA has them year round and they are EVERYWHERE! Also you can go snowboarding in the morning and head to the beach in the afternoon, I don't know if you can beat that. The food isn't that great here though. So it all depends on what you are into.

Not true - NYC has girls year round, you just have to know where to look. Pro tip - in winter they hide in the sewers.
