I wasn't sure where else to put this, but I came across this pretty cool shot of NYC and Chicago. Sorry if this has been posted. NYC is really a beast!

Agreed. No city can really compare with NYC. It is unique. Chicago is a fantastic city, but let's be real, it's not NY.

Not sure, appears to be circa 2005ish? There are a few 1,000 footers missing from Chicago and New York City.

On a side note, I cant believe the Sun Times Building stood on the Trump site as late as 2005, I used to work in 1 E Wacker, and watched Trump go up, how time flies!

Chicago is a big city, but isn't NYC like, 2 times larger?
NYC wins!

Really? I thought Chinese there was pretty overrated actually. I do think Mexican/Central American food in SF/California has an upper hand though. You can get good chinese in LA/Seattle/Chicago/etc...
