Is New York The Greatest City? Let The Debate Begin.


New York City

In an article 25 Truths That Only Real New Yorkers Understand written by New York resident Andrew Price. Many New Yorkers would have you believe that no other life experience can be compare to living in The Big Apple. Andrew actually gave 25 reasons why, hmm! If you believe that, you’ll believe anything.

It is true that New York is packed with millions of diverse, amazing people that makes for one of the most vibrant, and at times, craziest places to live. One undeniable truth is New Yorkers will never tier of telling you it's the greatest place on earth. So lets see if you agree with him.

Tudor City New York

Reason number 25. "There is only one city and its New York. You can forget about L.A, Chicago or D.C." Andrew Price
Okay it’s clear that Andrew is not a traveler. My pick for top cities in the world would of be London, and Singapore, which is considered to be the number one city that boasts a low crime rate percentage. In 2012, Singapore boasts a total of 80 days straight without a single robbery reported. 

To be fair, I admit, surprisingly, that New York City is a safe city, and its crime rate has dropped since 1990. After I stated this fact, my wife declared in that french accent of hers "Provence!" and guess what? That southern region of France truly trumps all. Vincent van Gogh once said "In short, I think life here is happier thing than in countless other spots on the earth."



A City that loves to walk
Reason number 24. "In this city - you walk. Your favorite store is 15 blocks away? No problem." Andrew Price.
Spot on! New Yorkers will walk all over the city. We have a friend who wears high heels all the time…I don't know how she does it?

Times Square
Reason number 23. "You avoid Times Square at all times. Period." Andrew Price.
Yes, I do my best to bypass Times Square even the crazies bypass it.


Apartments for Rent
Reason number 22. "It is completely acceptable to ask someone what their rent is, even if you’ve known them for literally 5 minutes." Andrew Price."
I must give this a try...I’ve got a feeling they might tell me where to put it. Ouch!


Best Pizza in the World? Chicago or New York!
Reason number 21. "Pizza is what makes New Yorkers heart beat. Everyone has their favorite spot for the best slice and there is no changing that. Ever." Andrew Price.
Read my post on New Fork City. The Chicagoans I know will argue the point, let the debate begin!

Cocktails
Reason number 20. "When you see the price of a cocktail on a menu under $13 you assume it's a typo." Andrew Price.
Liquor is often viewed as the most profitable thing a restaurant can sell, and that's because it's easy to prepare at a tremendously marked up — sometimes as much as 400 percent. Pass the smelling salt!

Reasons numbers 15 to #19 will ensue in my upcoming  post.
