What big US city do you like better?

It took way longer to type out these poll options than it should have. Lol

FWIW, Im in Nashville right now and live an hour away, and by far prefer Nashville.

NYC is just way too big and busy for me. I was shocked how quick we were able to get down here today, but apparently its because it was super crazy here yesterday for the 4th and folks are just all hung over today.

Amarica is an option. Nice.

All joking aside I dislike big cities but also there is a big difference between like you living an hour outside the city compared to living in the city. Sure you can still prefer Nashville as a city but i think it is different when you live outside a city. Like I wouldn't want anything to do with NYC but upstate NY is beautiful.

With all that being said I'd pick Nashville strictly between these two choices because NYC is fucking way too populated for me and too time consuming to get around different parts of the city. Two major cities I would never ever want anything to do with is NYC and Los Angeles. So I would pick Nashville. I'd also rather have the Tennessee landscape. But I would actually prefer NYC winters though. Also in NYC you could stay isolated to your borough and neighborhood and pretty much have everything you need without having to go for so even though its quite populated and big you can kind of live in your own small world if you want. The South is too warm for my tastes. I actually like cold weather and winter. This is strictly an A or B choice so I picked one. Both suck though and I want nothing to do with either.

I've been the NYC, I like it. Never been to Nashville, nor do I know anything about it.

Both Nashville and NYC suck.

I live on the West Coast of Canada, ain't no way i'm making it to either city.

NYC sounds better at least? Nashville just makes me think country music and that turns me off it a bit

I've never been to either, but I have to pick NYC because I don't want to go to the south

Nashville isnt as much of a pain to get around in, even if the one ways and interstate loop can be annoying downtown.

Im not a fan of bigger cities, only one I liked was Boston, and Seattle a little.

Lived in Nashville for like 20 years before it became woooo city, it might have been a closer contest back in the day, but in current times NYC crushes.

There was no way I was getting through all those poll options without a typo, lol

Proofread a bit but had to get to a point where it was like fuck it and all in.

I've probably spent about the same amount of time in each. Which is not a ton.

NYC has more iconic tourist attractions. Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, NYSE, Times Square, etc.

But Nashville is a lot easier. Like, traffic-wise and navigation and such. I don't really know of any places you'd go out of your way to visit or anything (though I'm sure they exist) but they have a number of neat restaurants to stop at on your way through.

So its my 20th wedding anniversary so were at Jack Ruby steakhouse.

Its fucking great.

I have a love/hate relationship with NYC but Nashville has no appeal to me whatsoever. I've lived in both for significant parts of my life.
