just way too many people EVERYWHERE you go
I visited last year for a week to see my now ex. One day, she was completely busy, so I took the subway from Brooklyn in to Manhattan to explore for the morning/afternoon. I swear to God, walking from Battery Park up to Central, I saw more people with my own eyes than live in the entire state of Alabama. Social overload. I'm so used to acknowledging and greeting everyone I have eye contact with, and seeing hundreds of people pass by every minute made me feel crazy.

also NYC has some of the worst weather in the US
I don’t think people realize how shitty summer can be in NYC. Right now at 10pm, it’s 83 with a heat index of 90. You might as well be in South Louisiana with that kind of evening temperature. Then factor in the wet, cold, grey, and long winters.
But NYC was by far the most impressive city I’ve ever visited. If I could go back in time to my college days, I’d move there right after graduation.

The smell in summer is just as bad as NO around Mardi Gras.

Both have infinite possibilities.
Endless entertainment and dining. If you are bored there something is wrong with you.

The strangest thing about walking around NYC to me was that, despite there being a massive sea of humanity in my face at almost all times, people very rarely looked me in the eyes.
It was like being invisible in front of a million strangers.

Weather is so much better Cali but I would not want to live in Los Angeles. I do like Malibu and Monterey Cali. NYC was just too many tourist and didn’t seem like it ever just slowed down.

People were surprisingly kind and genial once you got off the street. I got hammered with a Persian guy at some bar across from Carnegie Hall and he let me do some blow in the bathroom so I didn't pass out on the train.

Weirdest thing is going to work in the morning when no one says a word and everyone looks down/away or are on their phone/book.

I've never been to LA and I couldn't care less about going there.
N.Y., otoh, is awesome. The energy is amazing. I don't think I could tolerate living there and certainly not working there.

20 somethings are always great to do

Nothing much. Just higher wages than most other cities in the entire country, amazing restaurants, more opportunities to make a great living than almost anywhere else in the world, better weather (LA) than 90% of the country, capital of the financial universe (NY), some of the best arts in the country (NY), some of the best universities in the country (NYU, Columbia, UCLA), best professional sports in the country (Yankees, NY Giants, Dodgers, Lakers), Broadway, Hollywood, Wall Street, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, they are two of the top six fashion cities in the world and those are just off the top of my head.
I really cannot think of anything that would be great about living in either of those shitholes.

I live in NYC and wouldn’t want to move anywhere else.
I have kids, so I live in the Upper West. Outside of Central Park West, it’s much more residential and doesn’t have the crowds like Midtown, the villages, SoHo, etc.
Within a 3 block radius I have Central Park, Riverside Park, Natural History Museum, Children’s Museum, probably a hundred restaurants/bars/shops, specialty grocery stores, and 2 different subway stops.
I’m originally from the south, so the NY heat isn’t a big deal and a good winter coat and some good indoor activities do the trick in the cold. The only thing that gets me is the Subway stations are saunas during the summer.

I’m 26 and live in nyc. Don’t know if there’s a better city for a mid 20s single man. Beautiful women everywhere you look.
Never get bored. Tons of things to do. Whether it’d be museums, sports, concerts, theatre, parks, music festivals, comedy shows...there’s always something to do.
There’s three airports that can take me anywhere in the world. Being someone who loves to travel this is huge for me.
There’s every kind of food imaginable.
Things aren’t as expensive as you’d think if you’re single. Having a family in the city is where it gets bad. Private school tuition is insane. Subway can suck, but I look at it as kinda like being stuck in traffic. My commute on the subway takes about the same amount of time it took me in BR.
Overall this is the place to live if you’re young. I’ve met so many awesome people and had so many awesome experiences. Yes I miss Louisiana food and LSU sports but I just can’t imagine still living in br after living here.
Eta: I live on the upper east side way less crowded than midtown and touristy places.

If I was single and had frick You money NYC would be great. Dating pool, every imaginable product and service within 5 miles. Sports experiences, and every possible form of entertainment.
I could not live an average middle class family life in the city.
