Whoa that is a beautiful airport. LaGuardia, Newark and JFK need to step their game up, especially LaGuardia.

That will become my 2nd favorite airport after Orlando International.

When I can avoid it, I don't fly into JFK or LaGuardia. I prefer small. I fly into Islip. In/out. No waiting/big delays, riding trams, walkways, etc.

Trust me, I don't disagree with you. Miami is far worse than LA, but LA cannot be compared to NY.

Easy: New York is older and naturally has more charm and character, even if parts of it are somewhat "gritty". There were two pictures; one of New York and one of Los Angeles. The New York picture showed and old, tree lined street that probably hasn't changed much since the 1950's, while the street in Los Angeles was just palm trees and rich cookie cutter homes. Each to his/her own, but I'd take the charm and character (and soul) of New York over Los Angeles anyday.

LOL, me too....and I'm glad there are at least a few people who feel the same way as I do.

I want to live in a place with four seasons, where I only see palm trees indoors

What he/she fails to understand is that I don't see what he/she wrote as an attack...I agree...Miami is a cesspool and seriously, I'd take LA over Miami, but preferably, I'd rather not live in either.

So I'm going with the lesser of 2 evils, because I really like LA. And I like NYC also, but that was an attack on ALL palm treed cities including specifically LA, but probably including Miami.
Hate is such a strong word, but you're right...I'm certainly not partial to Miami.

Like you said to each there own, who's to say which one has charm or character? One may look at the palm tree lined streets and see charm or character, and see the NYC one, and see old and unwillingness to change.
