It just doesnt exist in such totality anywhere except New York. Manhattan is really untouchable in this respect. I mean its wall to wall everything.
After New York, all we can do is combine the parts of other places to equal something similar.
Midtown-Chicago Loop
Lower East Side-Downtown LA
Lower West Side-Downtown SF
Financial District-Downtown Boston
Upper West Side-West Los Angeles
Upper East Side-Pacific Heights & Gold Coast(Chicago)
Times Square-Vegas Strip from the Bellagio to the MGM Grand
see what I mean...it takes a group effort.
LOL, I love how you list all those areas of every city and then say "it takes a group effort!"
I dont think thats true. MOST people on this site hype NY so much its ridiculous. its Def. overrated, its a cool city tho.
Well, Im not from New York but having lived in the area for a while now, I can say that I havent been anywhere that really comes close to having the perfect storm of amenities as far as big city living.

Because when people talk about NY, Manhattan is usally what they mean. You dont hear alot about the other boroughs.
Im curious myself on how a bx+bk+si+qns only would fare against cities. Pretty well i think
