London vs. New York
by Warren
A big part of being a word-class city is measuring your cosmopolitan genitalia against other world-class cities. So it goes with New York, which is currently feeling the heat from London, where plenty of financial services are moving to and cultural street cred is building (and let’s not forget the greatest television show ever made originates from there.)
Personally, I think most of these comparisons are an interesting but ultimately pointless exercise in vanity, though it’s fun to see cities lower down the totem pole (like my current hometown) proclaim themselves to be in the big leagues.
Of course, everyone knows the only true high-end town is Edmonton. Heh.
