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

[Knuckles Red]

Whats your fav cities you ever drove through?

Not drive, but I love walking through Baltimore. Especially during the fall when the sun is high up in the sky with no clouds, and the weather is perfect.

NYC is the most overrated city, too many old ass buildings, streets smell like piss, claims to be the city that never sleeps but everything closes at 2 like everywhere else

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

Being an out of towner, I didn't even look at it like that. I know that was like the business downtown, but I looked at the area up to like MSG as downtown. I thought Times Square was like definite downtown because that's where all the lights and entertainment was. I've only been south of Houston a few times and only during the day.
Learn something everyday.

NYC has more people in and around it than Chicago so you're going to have a bunch of people that have never been to Chicago claim "NYC!" just to homer what they know. As someone that's been to both multiple times, they honestly don't look too radically different imo but Chicago has more green space and Lake Shore Drive so it edges out NYC barely (though NYC's financial district ain't nothing to fukk with). Central Park is an overrated, rat-infested hellhole.

Breh that harbor has a bad odor though. I like driving the interstates in Bmore with the high bridges and tunnels around I-95.

Chicago is better aesthetically speaking. Less crowded. More laid back then NYC which is on, on, on all the time. Much cheaper. NYC is great when you're young. Not so much when you're older. If you don't got the bread you living like a slave up there. And even if you do have the bread, as we get older, we don't like all the cramped living and lack of space. Chicago is a big ass city but it's still very livable and manageable. The only downside is the crime.

Midtown Manhattan is nice, especially at night, but it's too cramped man. You won't be going anywhere fast when you got crazy ass taxi drivers cutting you off and fukking pedestrians crossing on the fukking green light, I hate that shyt. Chi's downtown area is nice, feels more spread out, you can walk slow if you'd like and not worry about speed walkers running you over. The Chicago river that runs thru the city is dope. So I vote Chicago.

Chicago is the New York of the Midwest

So I guess this whole take dash cam video of yourself touring cities is the new internet wave

They are probably roadgeeks, I'm a road geek and have a roadgeek playlist with hundreds of videos

Watching a roadgeek video with a spotify playlist playing in the background >>>>>>

Outside of Shanghai, Chicago probably has the best downtown in the world real talk.

Even though I live in NYC never been to Chicago, I choose Chicago, most of Manhattan is a horrible place to drive, WAY too much traffic



FDR and the West Side Highway/Henry Hudson parkway is cool though.


The best drives in NYC is in the outer boroughs.
