I don't know about all that. SF has the best Chinatown, definitely plenty of authentic food there.
Even Philly has a big enough of a Chinatown that there are numerous very authentic restaurants to eat. My personal favorite, to the point of addiction, is Szechuan Tasty House at 9'th and Arch, some of the best Chinese I've ever had. Not going to Chinatown? Han Dynasty in Old City is a cut above all that, and they will kick your butt with their Asian spice, I promise you.

SF Chinese food is too overrated. It's too Americanized. The stuff we get over here is the stuff Chinese people actually eat back in China, not General Tso's chicken or chop suey.
Has anyone from the West Coast actually ever eaten in Flushing? You guys don't corner the Asian market anymore Some of the BEST Korean and Indian food can be found in NYC.
Wake us up when San Francisco has Italian food (which coincidentally, is by far the most popular "ethnic" food according to Harris Interactive) that can compare to what you find in New York City.
You simply have an inferiority complex with anything New York City which I find tiring. I find very hard to believe that there are somehow no Asian or Indian restaurants in an extremely diverse city of 8,000,000+ but there somehow appears to be a plethora of such establishments in cities of 500,000-800,000 population counts.
Not only is New York continually ranked the best city at the top and mid range by monied "limp wristed" experts (good one, homopohobe ), New York City is without compare in the low-range as well. Such is the result of being a city bustling with diversity and prestige which will always attract exceptional food and global culinary elite who will continuously seal and ensure New York's permanent position as the #1 food city.
Seriously.
Even where SF or LA is supposed to be "strong" NYC does more than demolish it.
Anyways, Italian is by far everyone's favorite food. I don't know anyone who hates it.
Again, if you've haven't had Pho in NYC, then you really haven't had it well in the United States. By far its better than anything that I've had in any other city, SF and LA included. If you walk down Main St or Kissena, you'll find more than enough good Chinese food to forget that SF or LA even exist.
Wake us up when San Francisco has Italian food (which coincidentally, is by far the most popular "ethnic" food according to polling) that can compare to what you will find in New York City. Wake us up when San Francisco matches New York's French culinary scene. There are simply more refined and satisfyig choices of cuisine than greasy Mexican and Chinese food.

...hmm, is this another pollster shell account
I never said the food in NYC was bad, I just said I think it's better here. If anyone has an inferiority complex, it's not me, kid

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you get out of bed in the morning...

I don't hate it, but it ain't my favorite. I know plenty of people who like other cuisine more than Italian.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Funny. Guarantee you you've never been to Westminster, if you've ever been to the LA or SF areas at all.
I don't really like Chinese food. It tastes weird, but SF has us on Chinese food. No doubt about it. Don't argue either because, yes I have docked in the bay for 4 months and since my navy buds like Chinese food. We would head in the bay to grab a bite, (but I got Mexican food lol). I agree that SF has Philly beat in restaurants but Philly has SF beat in numbers since its bigger. To tell the truth Philly has SF beat in European and african/west Indian butsf got Philly on Asian.

Wake us up when those cities have Italian food (which coincidentally, is by far the most popular "ethnic" food according to polling) that can compare to what you will find in New York City. Wake us up when those locales match New York's French culinary scene. There are simply more refined and satisfying choices of cuisine than greasy Mexican and Chinese food.
You simply have an inferiority complex with anything New York City which I find tiring. I find very hard to believe that there are somehow no Asian or Indian restaurants in an extremely diverse city of 8,000,000+ yet somehow Boston and San Francisco, cities of 500,000-800,000, are busting through the seams of such options.

And you somehow believe San Francisco is not the bolded? Please.
And only someone who's never been to SF believes there's a lack of "refined" cuisine.

Where does NY demolish SF or LA in anything Asian? Oh wait, it's the other way around.
