eh our shyt is meh, i'm comparing it to major metropolises thoughIf we counting everything south of Central Park as downtown NYC, then NYC hands down.
Boston's downtown is pretty nice too though
I'll give in that Chicago is cleaner, but NYC's skyline shyts on it, period.Chicago hands down

Downtown Chicago leading into LSD is one of the best drives you'll have. Good smoke and music will only amplify the experience. I've been in NY for almost 5 years and honestly it's so crowded, I mostly hate driving. Chi city all day

Manhattan is seperated between Midtown and Downtown. But they would both be seen as a "downtown" To people not from the city

Chi dt is cleaner, has a beach, more nature to it, better food, less people.
New York was still tight tho

At "beach". We have real beaches in our city. I'm dead at what you land locked nikkas call a beach. If y'all want to compare fake beaches we have La Marina and there's no place in Chicago that's fukkin with that
Broa, for my 2,000th post; I have to laugh at you.
Fake beach? Chicago has a whole bunch of beaches.
Did you call Chicago landlocked? Well what the fukk is this?

Chicago...and I'm an east coast Breh.
I work in the Aon Center, I live a block off Lake Shore Drive. I wake up with the sun hitting my face, and on some days you can't make out the Lake from the sky.
The reason why Chi is better than NYC besides being cleaner is because it has very distinct changes in nature and architecture. It doesn't feel like they just decided to break up the concrete jungle by just placing some arbitrary nature shyt in place. In Chicago, it feels more natural, between, the rivers, the lake, the park and the beach they just married the architecture with the surroundings. I can understand why someone would like it, but NYC feels like Cybertron with house plants sprinkled around and a pissy bathroom smell.
Driving on Lake Shore just had me in awe moreso than driving anywhere in NYC about to get smashed up by a cab or bus driver who AI t paying attention.

Nah don't give em the benefit of doubt. If they don't know, they shouldn't speak on it.
The thread premise is trash from the beginning considering OP asked about New Yorks "downtown" and only mentioned Manhattan. That was his first mistake. Growing up in Queens, I key on that shyt when outsiders care to voice their opinion on my city.
When people talk about "NY" I force them to specify the borough of Manhattan so that they can immediately come to the realization that, in order to make a city to city comparison fair, I have to pretend that 4 other geographic locations of immense economic power and social capital don't exist.

All this. My boy convinced me to take the car to NYC for some club. Never again.OP has so many opinions making threads about places he's never stepped foot in
But for your information, driving through downtown Manhattan is. fukk the traffic, NYPD, and countless taxis cockblocking. You don't have much time to explore the scenery of the city in the car cause you're too busy trying not to get hit by a$$holes.
