New York is alot better then philly. Its not even a fair comparison, New York should be compared to Chicago, London, Hong Kong etc. Philly is a suburb compared to NYC. After seeing New York City visting Philly is like going out to the country.
Philly people can't get New York's name out of their mouth. I lived by Philly all they do is come up with abusrd reasons why philly is better. Cheesesteaks in philly are overated the best I ever had was in New York. New York : Pizza, Hot Dogs, Deils, Cheesecake, Bagels, Steakhouses the food is much better in New York, better night life etc.
Their sports teams stink they never win anything in Philly the city of losers, Rocky was a fake boxer based on a movie what type of city would erect a statue of a fake boxer and be proud of it?
