i was brought up to love THE CITY but since my girlfriend goes to Villanova, philly kinda grew on me...it is like a hamburger without the meat...philly is just like a cute little place to hang
I've known New York, I've lived in New York, I've worked in New York, and Philly, sir, is no New York!
Sorry, couldn't resist. It is, however, true. I've lived in both cities and found New York to be more 'energizing'. Living in Philly was depressing. It seemed a darker city, not as upbeat as New York.
And I lived in some pretty crappy NYC neighborhoods. 100th and B'way one year, a YMCA a couple blocks away from the Garden one year. But I loved it. I couldn't live there now, I'm too much a country girl at heart. But given a choice between NYC or Philly, I'd choose NYC every time.
