    Great trip I just got back from

    Great diversity of food and high end options that arent so expensive like NYC

    Amazing building architecture, so much more distinctive than NYC

    Way less hipsters and trendy yuppie’s kids

    Beautiful clean streets

    L above ground system is A1 although it doesn’t run as expansive as MTA

    Beautiful waterfronts, parks, and walkable bridges that more accessible than NYC

    WAYYYY less of a homeless problem

    Huuuuuge diversity of vibes that aren’t as so far spread out as NYCs different hoods

    The wide streets and alleyways make the downtown areas feel way less crowded

    Amazing city, I love NYC but man Chi is just as good as a city IMO

    I’m from Chicago but have to move to NYC for work soon idk how to feel now

    You’ll enjoy NYC because it’ll have options and luxuries Chicago won’t have

    You’ll just have to pay more to enjoy them

    The everyday side of you will appreciate Chicago, but for special experiences NYC offers a lot

    Chicago is much bigger than NYC with way more brutal winters. If you can handle that then NYC is fine.

    Chicago is much bigger than NYC with way more brutal winters. If you can handle that then NYC is fine.

    Curious as to why you say it’s bigger than NYC? Are you just counting Manhattan?

    Cause NYC as a whole is a lot bigger

    Tbh I’m just worried about making friends and s***

    Concert venues starting to open back up in the city, very easy to make friends there. S***, whenever I go to a concert in NY I see the same 8 or 9 people I normally do lol s*** first show I went to when concerts opened up was for Isaiah Rashad and when I saw my usual peeps we caught up like no time has passed.

    Also if you're gonna be working in the city it's even easier to make work friends, which can lead you to meeting outside of work friends. Despite all the "New Yorkers are mean" jokes it's hard as f*** to not make friends in NY. All you have to do is not be an a******.

    Tbh I’m just worried about making friends and s***

    NYC is built on multiculturalism which makes the city a lot different from home which is very much still segregated

    So your friend circle could very much be different in a good way

    Curious as to why you say it’s bigger than NYC? Are you just counting Manhattan?

    Cause NYC as a whole is a lot bigger

    I don't count Staten Island in NYC. Moreorless just expanded suburbs of New Jersey. Also maybe it's because I am from NY and have been all over it many times that I just don't consider it all that big anymore.

    Also I've been told by people from Chicago that "Google Maps isn't a good representation of how big Chicago is". But my assumption is they are counting parts of Gary and up to Chicago Heights as a part of the city of Chicago.

    That aside Chicago just looks like a much bigger city to me.
