Both are special in their own unique way. But have to say New York is amazing.

Weather in New York can be extreme from 4ft of snow in the winter to stifling heat and humidity in summer months, depends on when you're going.

London for me.
Why cross an ocean to visit a sh1thole when there's one just down the road? Only conceivable reason for going is to visit the excellent art galleries, concert halls or theatres. For anything else there's just as good in your home town. |

Ron-Russian - there are about 300 mosques in the approx 800 sq km of New York City. London would be about twice the size, so what are the numbers of mosques in London? You'd know, shirley! 400?

New york is imho visit worth a visit at least once, it's so familiar to us from films and TV, its like you've walked onto a film set, and it's a different scale vertically to London. It's true I think about tourists getting a sore neck looking up.

I was on about Mosques radicalizing extremists - surely we'd win in
that department  |

I am lucky enough to have been born and live in London but also spent a few years in New York. The two greatest cities in the world. Paris naturally is third on the list.

By:
400 odd according to a source - just looked on a map - unfortunately looks
like London's been peppered with them - what a mess |

Give it up Ron, you're making a tool of yourself son.

New York is a great city, beautiful respectable houses and cheerful parks. It has a love of humanity that London lacks. It is the people who live there that give it its quality and New York seems so much more charismatic and grown up.
London semms to have become much more insular and backward, especially in the last 30 or 40 years. I don`t believe anything good has come from London in that time. |

As a born and bred Londoner who now lives in Yorkshire, I have to agree with lfc1971.
London has become a horrid place and much of that is due to the manic drive towards 'yoof' culture that is engulfing the UK. Yes, London has wonderful history but the people appall me now. New York is exciting and has a presence which London lacks. Having said that, on my last visit to New York I picked up a paper and read how a paperboy had been shot in the head and left in a coma the day before. He had been robbed of his takings and left on the pavement (sidewalk. That, it must be said, is not something you would see in London but until those in the US sort out their mad gun laws it will continue to blight their nation. |

as you say lfc the people contribute to making a city feel a great place -
London still has the sights but has lost many of the good folk - Mainly made up of a multicultural mess now, but Johnny feels he was lucky to be born into this. |
|
By:
You see New York of course is made up of all different people and nationalities and they have made it a great strength. But how have they achieved this in a way that London has not.
It has been done in a way by cultural imperialism and not pandering to diversity. The rules are modern and intelligent and they expect this of their citizens. |
|
By:
Any city that combines the words 'modern' and 'museum' is to be avoided. E.g. if it has a museum of modern art
If it's modern wtf is it doing in a museum? London wins this 2-horse contest |

By:
lived and worked in London for 6 years moved 40 mins up the
road 17 years ago,no wish to go back |

By:
Any city that has paintings by Edward Hooper, perhaps the greatest 20c artist, is worth a visit for that alone. The Whitney museum has a great collection and i think the museum of modern art has some also.
|
|
By:
Go to any art museum in NewYork and they are likely to have paintings by Hooper, and a lot of them. Very beautiful and modern.

London by a live long mile before ye gave it away.
London had everything,history,great architecture and great people but the Elite gave it away. Its now become a giant Casbah that generates money and crime,nothing else. |

did anyone ever see this, from 2 years ago, BBC Live done a poll on
is multiculturalism working....95% said NO  & this nearly 2 years ago......it's worth a quick view just to watch the poll picture! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_oIUHRRCTM |

By:
Never been to New York, so can't comment too much but I'd be a backer at 1/100 that its better than London (massive sh1thole).

lfc - you mean Hopper

bongo - "Any city that combines the words 'modern' and 'museum' is to be avoided. E.g. if it has a museum of modern art
If it's modern wtf is it doing in a museum?" Since there is a risk that you are serious  . Hope this will help. "museum" = a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited. |

Some people are comparing the best of New York to the best of London, which is fair enough as visitors like to see the best.
But how do the worst neighbourhoods of these cities match up: e.g. Newham versus Brownsville |
|
By:
@blackbarn: imv a building which houses MODERN objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest has another name. It's called a shop.
