Have you been to London?

[brilliantou]

@JCrownwell this is NYC, but yes Ive been to London before.

[brilliantou]

@JCrownwell I think London is a smaller version of NYC, it has department stores, china town, little italy as I remember, pubs.

I am enjoying so much doing these videos, and hope I can evolve with this skill more and more to deliver really nice stories and images.

Yeah it depends where you go obviously. There are a lot of rough areas in the outer boroughs, but there are also a lot of "high street" like areas that have lots of shopping, restaurants, clubs and other places to hang out. Also, Boston-Providence-Stamford-NY-­Newark-Philadelphia-Baltimore-­DC is basically one big urban area. The suburbs of each of these cities are adjacent to each other and each city is only a couple hours away from the next one.

"The "outer boroughs" are more urban and much busier than zone 2 and above in London"

That's odd because I didn't think this at all when I was in NY. Brooklyn and the Bronx maybe slightly busier than zone 2 - zone 3. Most areas outside of Manhattan felt like a warzone - dilapidated and crumbling. I wasn't impressed at all.

Maybe I just caught it on a bad day?

@Appletree34

Well Manhattan is just like The City / Canary Wharf in London - it's not the entire NYC. NYC has 5 boroughs - Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. The "outer boroughs" are more urban and much busier than zone 2 and above in London, it's just that most tourists don't go there. There's really no comparing London's urbanity to NYC, NYC just feels much bigger and busier. Tokyo though would give NYC a run for it's money. Tokyo feels bigger than NYC.

London is actually the larger city. They just haven't crammed every good thing about the place into one relatively small area (Manhattan) in NYC. That's why some people think NY is more exciting - everything that's worth bothering to visit is stuffed into restricted areas in Manhattan. I think London has more interesting locations overall, but spread over a larger area.

Sorry there was an implied question in there. ;)

How did you think London compared to NYC?
