Are Atlanta and Miami metros the two biggest metros with NY transplants? LA probably has a lot also, maybe not as much though.
Is split pea soup a Jewish thing? I know my mom thinks she's Jewish, but I though she stopped at matzo ball.

They prepare it a certain way and parve w/o the ham or any dairy added, often see it at stores premade so that way it can be eaten with either. I know other cultures/regions eat it too but I'm pretty sure the recipes vary a bit.

Atlanta is not that much smaller than Dallas, and I think you're underplaying its economical presence as well.

5.47 million in Atlanta metro to 6.7 million in Dallas metro.

In total GDP Dallas is 6th and Atlanta is 10th in the nation. While Dallas has an obvious lead, it's clear that after Houston and Dallas that Atlanta is a clear number 3. Let's also not forget that Atlanta is the largest air travel hub in the entire world, sees a lot more traffic than any of the Texas metros.

As Tina Turner once wrote in a song...

You must understand
That the posts by your hand
Makes my pulse react.
I get so mad
about these kind of posts
now it's time to act.

What's air traffic got to do, got to do with it?
What's air traffic, but some people passing through...

None of these are honestly even remotely like New York. But if I were to pick, I'd pick seattle.

Oh, right, my mom's had both ham and dairy, which would be kind of un-kosher.

The correct answer is LA. Tell me where it says 2 cities have to look alike to be most alike.

Seattle has the thickest yogurt I guess.
I quite like this game...MY TURN! Which year Toyota Camry is most similar to the 2014 Ford Expedition?

I've visited NYC and lived in Seattle...and if Seattle's your top choice to choose from in a list of cities that are most similar to NYC then it's not a very good list...The two cities feel absolutely nothing a like...The demographics are completely different, the women are completely different, the food is completely different...If anything driving into Seattle over the bridge reminded me of a smaller version of San Francisco, but nothing like NYC...nothing like.
