Well......lets see. You havent been to SF or Chicago. You just know nothing in the world compares to Manhattan. You just know you'd love Chicago altough you havent been. Sorry doesnt make sense to me. Try out Paris, London, Tokyo....
I only say one trick pony because SF is an entire city, not just a downtown, an amazing urban mecca, but SF is a whole city.
dont make blanket statements..... this is all subjective... IMO san fran is better. and i have lived in both
Wow, I was expecting more traction with this thread. It seemed to have all the credentials lined up to be a successful thread for sure, I wonder if its because the criteria list just became too overwhelming?
I hope it rejuvenates, its a great comparison to be had!
I think its to epic and mind boggling for most people. In my opinion this comparison is more interesting than the comparisons that normally come up in this forum. Really the thought of a borough being more urban than a major city might hurt some feelings on this site

Agreed, this thread is proof that many of those who claim to have "seen" NYC haven't ever left Manhattan. People who talk down on NYC have seen only Manhattan, this thread would have received more traffic if more were well traveled or knew about NYC's other boroughs, IMO
yes really closedheads. Fordham road is one of the busiest shopping districts in the world. More busy than londons regent street
LOL............................ Closedheads? Come on son. Grow up.
I'm sure Fordham Rd moves a gang of Jordans per year, but I would hardly call it a shopping mecca. Be serious.

Nobody said it was a shopping mecca. But has world class vibrance and above average hustle and bustle
i dunno about this thread, to be honest...
queens is more comparable to sf, IMO.
manhattan to chicago.
