You didn’t read my post clearly enough. What is said is “the best of each (arts, music, culture, diversity, food) is world class”…

that means the Phila Museum of Art, the Pennsyl Academy of Fine Arts, the Barnes, etc.; it means MOMA, the Met, the Frick, the Guggenheim; it means Per Se, Le Bernardin, Daniel; it means Le Bec Fin, the Fountain; the Curtis Institute and Julliard.

Each offers world class contributions to the cultural/social scene. I didn’t say either one was better than the other.

If you want scope, NYC offers more than all the other cities on the east coast combined [and you could throw in all of Texas too], but that comes at a price (literally).

The essence of what I am saying is that both places offer a lot for one’s cultural fix, diversity needs and hanging-out itch.
