Rome or Paris?

Trying to decide where to go with the wife for a few days. We've never been to either.
Unfortunately this will be during Thanksgiving so the weather will be dogshit in both (colder in Paris).
I'm really looking from a food perspective here on this board from those that have been to either or both. I know Paris and France in General is world renowned, but Rome is no slouch either.
Thoughts? Recommendations?

I wasn't overly impressed with the food in Rome. I've never been to Paris, so I can't comment there.
ETA: if you do end up in Rome check out the Trastevere neighborhood. That's where we found the best food/atmosphere.

Was just in both last month. As far as food is concerned Paris blow Rome out of the water in my opinion. Now if we're talking all of France vs. all of Italy they are much more evenly matched. But if you want to focus on eating and drinking, between those two cities Paris is your answer.

Been to Paris 4X. Rome 2x (last time was this March).
While Rome is great in its own right, I think it's simply a no-brainer you should go to Paris - if you've never been to either. So easy & cheap to get around on the Metro.

You absolutely can't go wrong either way. Those are two of my favorite cities in the world. I have been to both numerous times. I was in Rome for Easter 2014. It is a beautiful city and there is so much history there. Paris is at least as beautiful. If you like museum hopping, you will not be disappointed. Paris has the best food and restaurants in the world IMO. You can flip a coin, but if you are asking me for an answer, I will say PARIS.

For food? Paris. I don't think Rome is a particularly great food town relative to other cities in Italy/Europe. From neighborhood joints to Michelin starred places, I'd rather eat in Paris.
ETA: if you've not been to Europe, I think Paris is safer and easier to navigate relative to Rome. It's also generally less chaotic, so I'd say you'll have a better experience there as a relative newbie.

Been to both , without hesitation I say Paris .....

Both cities are fantastic, imo, and should be on your "to do" list. Rome has a couple of great restaraunts I can recommend, BUT Paris is a much better food city. And it's fricking beautiful everwhere you look and should be your choice if it's your first trip to Europe. In fact, it was the first city I visited in Europe. If you want to take a break, I'd take a fast train to Provence. Really cool part of France.

If it is your first trip to Europe, I think you should do Rome.
I would really consider doing 3 days in Rome and 3 days in Florence though as I think Florence is the better of the 2 cities.
Paris is great, but something about Italy makes me feel like I am another world.

I love both, but if you're choosing one, it's Paris, and it's not particularly close.

I was in your shoes a few months back for our trip this Saturday. Almost every foodie I know suggested Paris over Rome and repeated almost exactly this statement about Rome.
