Tri-Taylor

Western Avenue

Wrigleyville

The Shedd Aquarium

Lake Shore Drive

The Lighthouse

Navy Pier

The Water Tower

Okay, let's see what you NYers have got.

GRANT PARK. By function Prospect Park or Flushing Meadows Park

TRI-TAYLOR. Morningside Heights

WESTERN AVENUE. Broadway runs to Albany (Albany Post Road), Boston Post Road runs to tada... Boston. Francis Lewis Blvd is pretty long in Queens

WRIGLEYVILLE. ????

THE SHEDD AQUARIUM. Coney Island Aquarium (Brooklyn or NY Aquarium)

LAKE SHORE DRIVE. Riverside Drive, West End Avenue, West Side Highway

THE LIGHTHOUSE. NYC has 14 lighthouses

NAVY PIER. Chelsea Piers

THE WATER TOWER. The High Bridge Water Tower

It would be fun to do this for other cities as well...match them up to either NYC or Chicago.

Museum Campus.

Western Avenue? Why? It's a random road that runs through the city. I've never thought anything special of it, except it's an uglier street than most in the city.

My thoughts exactly...I think Clark St. would be the equivilant to Broadway in New York

This is so lame, I'm sorry but I have to say that.

There is no New York City equivalent to a Chicago neighborhood, and there's no Chicago neighborhood equivalent to New York City!!

That means The Loop is not at all equivalent to any part of Manhattan or vice versa!!

And comparing Greenwich Village to Wrigleyville??? Rofl
