Hi Tiki,

Perhaps. The argument has never been about the philosophy behind comparing new york with london. Truth is, all citizens have their egos, and without a doubt, london is a dump compared to new york.

Now, as for whether you should compare NY to Tokyo or Hong Kong. Perhaps, but I haven’t lived there to engage in such a debate.

London, New York - totally different.

The London vs New York thread has provided some surprises, peoples perceptions of the cities change, but is it really the debate to be having? Shouldn’t we be comparing NY to HK, or Tokyo?

A question for the US Department of Homeland Security. They refuse to talk to me because I have no rights in the US, so perhaps you can find out :).

Why are you in London? I hope not to cross any boundaries, but if, in the US, you got your foot in and up the ladder .. why are you not still there enjoying the view? Why slaving away in dirty ole London, surrounded by arrogant lackies?

Such utter drivel - typical blinkered, ignorant American thinking.

I live in London and have done for several years. All I can say is that NYC is infinitely more friendly and outgoing and London is more insular and cliquey. London is more beautiful but NYC has a big thumping heart that I just don’t find here.

I’ve been to New York a lot. I love the roof top bars. Ava penthouse lounge. You can see time square from this duplex. Also have you seen Columbus circle lately. Its pretty awsume. Giant fountains and a great view of central park and broadway. Its like an oasis in the middle of Manhatten. A lot of clubbers and bar hoppers go here to chill. And the Hudson bar nearby is one of the coolest bars I’ve ever seen. Its gota a whole New York vibe. New York is Unique because it has a preasentness that can’t be dublicated. Every minnute is different. Things don’t last long in New York its one downfall is history gets eaten up by the preasent. But having very little visable history it becomes a place alive with the here and now.no other city on Earth has this. Historeans go into a period of Verigo and dissyness before figuring out wear the history is. That’s how preasent minded New York is.

Megan,

Indeed, I am for real.

But I’m glad that my my article makes you laugh :).

Am I clueless? No. Are you? Probably, since you missed all th clues in the artcle.

No matter what your thoughts, you have to admit, the article is a ‘must read’ for all die hard London fans.

London like ‘an American village’
I mean seriously, are you for real?
Possibly the most laughable and clueless comment i have read in a while.
Thanks!
