^^^^^^^^^^^

and we have many things in NY that are unique and aren't found elsewhere. our culture is not found elsewhere either and our culture is based on many cultures rubbing off on each other.

again, the amount of cultures in ny is unlike any other city on the planet.

i guess thats not unique enough.

so we don't dance with caskets and speak an obscure form of creole. sorry.

So, IMO there goes the unique factor.
So that automatically means it's not unique?

thats pretty much the argument in this thread. if an area is remotely similar to another area then its ruled out.

this is what's making new orleans win...because of the creole some ppl speak and because they dance with caskets.

this is why 434234234 trillion cultures, wall st, the un headquarters, 24 hour public transit options, etc. are worthless.

Stanky leg wasn't even popular in New Orleans, really most of the music out of Atlanta/Dallas isn't popular here. That should read. "Wow who cares. dudes in the N.O. bouncing with thriller zombies!!.

BTW, the word nawlins is just wrong.

Why are you being such a drama queen? Just because most people in here think that NOLA is the most unique city in the country doesn't take away from all the greatness that is NYC. Geeze, get a grip and just learn to accept some people's opinions other than your own.

I saw pictures of neighborhoods in Brooklyn, that resemble neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Therefore NYC is NOT a unique city. Did what I say make sense to you?
