I'm neutral in this debate but let's be honest here, Hollywood is easily the most famous neighborhood in the world and i personally have never heard of Williamsburg but Brooklyn itself is pretty famous though which i think has alot to do with the Brooklyn Bridge.
Sounds like a personal problem. There is no way you’ve read about redevelopment and gentrification without seeing the word “Williamsburg”.
Hollywood is more famous with its name being related to movies. What about Hollywood - the actual neighborhood do people actually care about?
Williamsburg’s restaurant scene is probably above Hollywood as well.
I'm in no way a supporter of LA or NYC, i consider myself to be pretty neutral but i couldn't help but leave a comment to your response because i remember reading an article from a publisher(Based in NYC) and it was about how residents of NYC are moving to LA in big numbers. Here is the link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/patch.c...-droves-report
Los Angeles residents are one of the top movers to NYC.
Because it would be just bridges and buildings and you wouldn't have much to say?
No because I know NYC crushes La in landmarks and the amount of landmarks. The tourist numbers speak for themselves
LA is known for a lifestyle which is obviously exaggerated!
Out of all my friends who want to live in LA, only two of them want to explore the city and get a different scene. The others only want to go there to experience the lifestyle despite the fact that they aren’t even rich
Hollywood is the image but also the a neighborhood district of LA. It has a chamber of commerce that promotes the neighborhood and does things like the Walk of Fame ceremonies.
Hollywood is famous for the Chinese Theater. Walk of Fame. Annual Oscars Ceremony. Most of world premieres for movies in Hollywood. Many of jobs still remain in Hollywood like Paramount Studios. Jim Henson Studios. Sunset Gordon studios. Lots of smaller ones. Netflix moved in huge highrises offices in Hollywood.
Other famous landmarks. Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Cinerama Dome. Egyptian Theater. Pantages Theater. Fonda Theater. Hollywood Palladium, Amoeba Records. Capital Records. Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Magic Castle hotel. Yamashiro Restaurant. Hollywood Sign. Musso and Frank restaurant. Brown Derby was there but not anymore. Plus other great buildings if you did follow Hollywood History from 40s-today. Some of them lost forever.
Hollywood the industry is spread all over the area. Valley having Universal, Warner Brothers, NBC studios, Disney Studios. Central LA with CBS Television City. Century City with Fox Studios. Culver City with Sony Picture studios and soon, HBO, Facebook, Amazon studios (trying to compete with Hulu/Netflix for content and distribution).
LA is the best city in the entire Universe. Even the cities of Corusant, Ceres Station, Romulus.
NYC is nasty trash. I saw this video of a woman in the subway on her phone and this rat climbs from her shoulder into her breasts like it is normal. WTF is wrong with NYC?
Did you enjoy the watching the rat that fell on a customer through the roof at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Westchester, La?
Thats like saying LA is nothing but traffic and smog.
If LA is your favorite city, thats great. Its hard to take anybody seriously who talks like this though. You dont have to trash one place to enjoy another.
I doubt that poster has ever been to nyc. I still don’t get how LA residents can speak about trash when they have Skid Row and rat infestation like NYC.
globally, LA/Hollywood due to the population growth in the Pacific Rim area.
LA/NY was sort of "even", but this millennium's demographics favor LA.
I'm frequently in India and Asia and I disagree. When you're talking about cities like New York, geography isn't as important. People in Tokyo and Mumbai tend to mention New York first and foremost when talking about the U.S. even though LA is closer. If this is a Seattle vs. Philadelphia debate or something, I can see the proximity factor being a bigger deal. But not for a city of New York's caliber.

I wouldn't call it a problem but yeah personally i have never heard of it and never came across reading about it until now so thanks to who ever mentioned it first. And you're right, i said the same thing earlier because even though it's an actual neighborhood which we can't deny but i have come to realize that most people don't see it that way or maybe not even know that it's an neighborhood so Hollywood is pretty much synonymous with the film industry.
Unbiased research? that made me LOL. I'll say this one last time, i consider my self to be neutral in debates like these because i like both cities. I just happend to come across that article a while back so i shared it, it doesn't mean i'm trying to support LA and the publisher of that article is quite well known(PatchMedia, and based in NYC) and that article is a year more recent than the one you shared. But i guess residents of both cities are moving to one another for different reasons.
In the new millennium,I'd say from about 2009/2010 -
Los Angeles is the most famous city by far. Well not really Los Angeles, but California is easily more known than New York so it kinda trumps out in L.A favor.
Now if this was the 90's or early 2000's than yeah it'll be NYC.
I hope you know that NYC residents move to Los Angeles more so than the other way around.
