They're both great cities, but over the past ten years I've become overly frustrated with London. I've lived there all my life and just don't get all that excited by it. Being brought up in a place affects your perspective of it. Most actual Londoners are gonna be basic families who aren't that bothered about some exciting new bar or scene. What they notice is an infrastructure at the point of meltdown and escalating housing costs that, when combined, make it increasingly difficult to raise their family. Sad but true.
I'm sure actual NYers have a similar relationship with their city too.
