It depends what sort of acting interests you. If you are looking to act in theatre, then New York is where you want to be. Otherwise, for those looking to be film and television stars, they all wind up migrating to Los Angeles at some point as that is where the overwhelming majority of the work is. A lot of people hone their skills in New York through acting classes, off-Broadway plays and things like that, and then move to Los Angeles once they feel ready to compete with the litany of other actors out there.

If you love acting as an art, and want to perform as a career just simply for the joy it gives you, go to New York, but you'll need another job, make that several other jobs.
If you want to become "a celebrity", make tons of money, and get chased by the paparazzi, move to LA.
