Growing up near NYC and visiting NYC frequently, I can genuinely say that nearly every city I've visited feels like a rathole compared to NYC, both big and small cities. And I've been to quite a few larges cities, both in the nation and outside of it. People like to complain about crime in NYC, but relatively speaking, NYC is very safe. I felt almost scared when I visited Newark and Hartford earlier this year. And I've only seen Philly once, but there was something about the atmosphere that just felt disjointed. There isn't a lively and robust sense there like there is walking through Manhattan.
And I know I didn't say anything about the schools themselves, but I assume you are interested in the cities themselves, and it's in my opinion that NYC blows Philly out of the water.
