Chicago vs New York: Which "downtown" is prettier to drive thru

[AB Ziggy]

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.

How? They damn near look the exact same only Chicago is cleaner

Nah man,
NYC is way more dense, more shyt to see, more life on the streets/sidewalks.
Chicago has no soul

manhattan is the epitome of urban city life. just simply better.

Chi.

NYC is a better town but Chi invented the modern American skyscraper architecture and takes it more seriously.

The Verizon building in Manhattan near the BK bridge alone means NYC lawst.

Yup it is.

I do think that Downtown Dallas being surrounded by freeways on all 4 sides stops its downtown from being as massive as it should though.

Yea you're right, thats important to me.

IDK what it is but I love looking at different cities downtowns and architecture, from the skylines down to how they build their houses and grid their streets.

NYC architect isn't that nice to me but I do love their street grid patterns and their public transportation. Its GOAT

Once you get below 14th street tho, the street grid becomes less organized and simple.

....in comparison to NYC. its true.
Spend a day walking Manhattan and downtown chicago back to back and its just night and day.

@BrothaZay you should add New Orleans to the list. Driving with the streetcars on Canal with the Superdome and Mississippi River facing you is beautiful. So is when your riding on I-10 west and crossing from New Orleans East into New Orleans and you can see the whole city lit up at night.

Never been to Chicago, but I'm in NYC all the time, and driving/walking through the city at night is

If we counting everything south of Central Park as downtown NYC, then NYC hands down.

Boston's downtown is pretty nice too though

Downtown NYC is Everything Below Chelsea. From Chelsea to BPC.
