Love both cities. Too bad they are becoming more and more gentrified and losing that city feel. 30 years ago it would have been a haven to live in either.
Thin pizza over fish tacos .
Broadway over Hollywood.
Lakers over Knicks
Angels over Yankees ( actually any team over the Yankees )
Jets over...........?
Central Park over Griffith Park ( Kinda guessing on that one )
Who am I kidding I have never been to N.Y.
But am I wrong ?
Would you say your hometown or where you live now is more influened by New York City,or by Los Angeles?Im talking about the way people talk(slang),the way they dress,stuff like that.
We have the aggressive attitudes, unfriendliness, and rudeness of NYC, mainly because so many transplants have moved here especially with the rise of the high-tech boom, for example AOL is headquartered in Virginia. The snobbiest people here have accents from New York or New England.
We also have the aggressive driving, traffic jams, uncontrolled sprawl, and strip mall commercialism of LA. Like Target and Wal-Mart is everywhere...well maybe that's not an NYC thing or an LA thing but its similar to Southern California and New Jersey, how everything is chains and all. Plus, believe it or not, parts of this area have water shortages because the population is growing so fast.
As for pop culture, LA of course. I mean nobody I know is interested in Broadway musicals or the New York artsy scene. Personally, for pop culture I would have to say TV/entertainment, mostly LA, and music....actually most of my music comes from Nashville.
I don't know about influence, but Chicago is much more similar to NYC than it is to LA.
