Just as olive garden isn't true italian or taco bell isn't really Mexican food or panda express isn't authentic Chinese, theres way deeper into the rabbit hole. 🤔 only thing for you to consider as you return is that i offer the red pill only. And everything is back open again. Right now you could eat out at all the festivals and not even touch a restaurant. But on the regular you could literally have a filipino or Japanese breakfast, polish sausage sandwich or Vietnamese banhmi lunch, and then kumas Korner for a stupid good huge ass burger. And i have not even touched pizza yet

      In my 30 years in Chicago, I would never have concluded that the public transit system was timely. Quite the opposite. The waiting periods between trains is definitely much shorter in NYC, and there's far more of them. All in all, the transit system in NYC beats Chicago, not only in timeliness, but accessibility, and convenience. Large swathes of Chicago have no access to rapid transit. One can easily reach most places in New York's boroughs and the tri state area by train. Catching an L train, late at night in Chicago, is a hassle, since one can wait one half hour for a train, which is grueling if its on the elevated tracks during the sub arctic winter. The incredible thing that people take for granted in NYC is how a massive this 24 hour system, works as well and efficiently it does.

The traffic issues come from older infrastructure (narrow, outdated).

    Thanks for your insights! Have been super conflicted about where to move next (grew up near NYC but currently live in DC/B'more area)... Love the chill vibes and lack of sticky humid weather of many west coast cities but they just don't have the extensive transit infrastructure of cities like NY, Chicago, and DC (I HATE driving). Chicago seems to have most of the amenities of NY at a fraction of the price. I'm a little worried I might have to scale back my lifestyle which tends to value frequent travel in order to live in NY. Both have good nightlife (for the U.S. anyway)... Applying to opportunities in both and we'll see what happens.

    Southside Chicago here!
    There is a significant comparison between NYC and ChiCity. I love both of them. The main difference is the vibe. Chicago is more blue-collar, laid back, and spacious with a Midwest vibe that has a sense of humility, a slow pace, and open nature. Not a flashy and party city like New York. I always believe that Chicago is more of a museum, has a great eco-green environment for family adventure outings, and is an eatery dining restaurant city. The only thing New York has more than Chicago, is it's the entertainment, fashion, and music capital city in the country and world. Very diverse and less segregated unlike Chicago. Chicago is a huge city but a very intimate city you can enjoy one on one with great space.

    Chicago is a city of how you make it to be. There is endless opportunities,definitely a hustle mentality if you choose,diverse cultures,entertainment,etc… however since neighborhoods are essentially isolated from each other which is why it’s actually called “the city of neighborhoods” it’s up to the individual to seek out all those opportunities. Is it a place to raise a family or is it a place to be an entrepreneur? I think that it’s a great place for a person who has the ingenuity and strength to make it a more world renowned city like NY and LA. All it takes is that spark ⚡️ to ignite the fire of creativity.

Its in the animals the wildlife in the people, just like the weather. Teaches people here to prepare for harsh life, to be stronger than your circumstances and get shit done before the weather turns but come out like a vengeance with no limit when the weather is good.

    That's very easy to compare Chicago to New York City because you already know you pay less rent in Chicago. And it's far less crowded in Chicago vs New York City.
    Chicago is far more manageable for the average single person than NYC.
    I think it's the skyscrapers in Chicago that confuses these "City Virgins" out there. They think Chicago is like New York City because of the skyscrapers in Chicago and therefore they compare the two cities. I'm from Philadelphia but lived in both Chicago and New York City.
