I LOVE both cities!!! I'm from just outside NYC, and visited chicago once and I love chicago cause of the colors, the architectural design, and I LOVE the great lakes, if those two cities were able to mesh into one, then it would be perfect. And now I live in neither, now i live in the middle of nowhere nebraska
I loved your comparison. As a NYC area kid who lived in Chicago for two years I agree with everything you said.For me it was interesting because black life in Chicago intrigued me. When I was growing up in North Jersey so many important things in my life were Chicago creations. Afro Sheen, Ebony/ Jet magazines and musically Curtis Mayfield, Staples Singers and Soul Train. My first weekend I went jogging along Lake Michigan and was mesmerized by the beauty of the skyline. The city had a different soulfulness than NYC and part of that I believe is the southern migration from Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas. Culturally the blues and jazz roots was fascinating to me. Obviously the energy level was different and did not have the 24 hour access that I had grown up with. But I loved my two years in Chitown and it gave me a different perspective on life...
9:41 it depends what part of nyc you're in if you look for spots in the eastern section of Queens, the bronx or Staten Island it's definitely more affordable
I am now in Brooklyn and don't think it is worth the expenses.Yes, there are more things to do in NYC but it comes at a cost. Wanted to know your experience living in Chicago? What would you suggest/recommend?
@@neodro4831 It’s not that much more to do in New York. Live in Edgewater. Get you a nice one bedroom for $950-$$1.1K a month and you don’t need a roommate 😃. In Brooklyn you would never… I’m sorry New York is overrated.
Hi, I lived in Humboldt Park and Wicker Park and I'm from Schaumburg.I just wanted to say, while I don't know you I am proud of you for living out your dream in a positive way..I too would like to visit New York mainly to see where some of my favorite artists lived....but also to visit Broadway...and imagine what it was like in the old days...thank you for his informative video.
You can't get good Mexican food there. But the diversity and arts are much more in New York. However the cost of living , dirtiness and trash are negative of New York
We have healthy options too. I live in South Loop and we have everything you are saying NYC has lol Great video. Humbolt Park is the ghetto to. You should of stayed in Lincoln Park. Glad ya'll enjoy NYC, and that high ass rent lol
Hey! Thanks for watching! I did live in Lincoln Park before moving to Humboldt Park. Also worked at Whole Foods in South Loop + DePaul! :) I never said Chicago doesn't have healthy options, I just said it's not as accessible as NYC as there's bodegas with vegan/vegetarian options on every corner and fresh produce everywhere. That may have changed since I left. Both cities are amazing just pointing out differences that I noticed. Sending you all the love! 💜
@@olivia.anelise I understand dear. I really enjoy your video though. I’m looking forward to visiting NYC later this year. Wish you and boyfriend all the success in the Big Apple!
Chicago does not offer more food variety than NY. As a Caribbean person Chicago is easily weak in that department. Fresh food might be a factor but having access to variety is another factor
You're out of your mind. Anybody that says they love Papa John's as pizza has a few issues. Chicago Pizza is much better than NYC pizza. It's simply more flavorful, AND there are different types...all better than NYC. I also got the feeling that you didn't explore the Chicago scene as much as you could have. The food scene in general is incredible in Chicago. Chicago has some of the best museums in the world. I agree with you on the winter and segregation.
I really can't place my finger completely upon things, as I am originally from the NYC Metro area, but lived in the Chicago area for about 25 years between 1980 and 2005... Taxes and property value wise, both are up there with NYC peaking in one aspect and Chitown in another... As for people, I find Chicago as a bit more cliquish and close-minded on a few things, where NYC people are more open and fast-paced and just don't have that kind of time to sort through and separate people like they do in Chicago... Chicago is more on a "majority rules" basis, meaning "you do what the clique does" while NYC is like its fashion industry _"You're either 'IN', or you're 'OUT' - No exceptions!"_ During the years I resided in Chicago, I just never felt that welcome around many of the people native to there or the midwest, for that matter, except when they wanted to live life to the fullest and party! Then they wanted your Big Apple ass around because they were really limited when it came to all that high or offbeat living - while a New Yorker finds that way of life second nature! I really don't care for being used or looked at in only that perspective... That's a real OUT with me, and I can say that I probably won't return to Chicago, except maybe for visits, and even then - only as a short and sweet stop-off point when I'm on my way somewhere else!
I’m born and raised in Chicago and I totally agree with the cliquish vibes and close-mindedness. I do love the city but never felt like I belonged here…even 43yrs later. I looove NYC but the small spaces for even higher rent is what I cannot do. I love NY’s individually…
I live in New York City. I have visited Chicago before and it is very nice, though just the downtown and the lakeside. New York City is always my preferable choice as it has many scenic points, and more bodies of water. Only downside is that New York is more expensive than chicago, but New York has a better system of public transportation. Chicago is kind of like Brooklyn to me.
The segregation in Chicago is more or less natural segregation and is seems vaster due to the lack of density when compared to NYC. There is more integration in NYC but it's misleading given how dense Manhattan is. Go to The Bronx and Queens and Brooklyn and there is segregation (just pull up a demographic map). In Manhattan, UWS and UES are mostly white and upper class; same thing with Greenwich and Chelsea. LES is mostly white due to being popular for gentrification while Chinatown that borders is, well, mostly made up Chinese. Midtown? White.
52 years in Chicago, do not EVER let your life end up in a big city. Overcrowding, noise, electromagnet cell pollution, crime excessive taxation, political corruption. Ect, ect. Chicago is a horrible place to live, nothing good can ever happen to you here, stay away. It’s always been trouble and always will. Find a place away from poor ppl, gangs, crack heads, serial killers. The fewer the ppl the better off you are. Large cities are where you go to die. Don’t do it.
This is dreadful. When you want information about anything, stick w videos made by men. Women can't just give you the facts. I can't stand 4 min long intros about nothing. Dull, flat, droning on about nothing.
It looks like you've always wanted to live in New York. You didn't even eat pizza in Chicago, there's New York style pizza in Chicago exactly like New York. Food grown here is shipped 800 miles to New York. It's a little bit bizarro.
@@jonathanmosher72 Lmao, no need to get mad over pizza. I ate pizza before, of course, but it didn’t do anything for me UNTIL I moved to NYC and tried NYC pizza! It’s MY opinion.

Awesome video! Really helpful comparison as I’m considering these two cities!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

Lol, I'm moving from WDC to Chicago...I have family in New York and it was a little TOO urban for me. Also, you are so on point about the NY pizza!!
Thanks so much for your comment! Congrats!! 🎉 Wishing you a safe move. Chicago is amazing! ☺️
underrated channel! love ittt. thanks soo muchhh :)))
HI Tiara!! You're so sweet. Thank YOU so much! 💜💜

Wow, thank you for your kind words! I'm originally from Waukegan and went to Shaumburg often! :)
I did the exact opposite from Nyc to Chicago. I live in Logan now
How amazing!!! I love Logan! I miss the farmers market and intelligentsia. 🥺
You can't get good Mexican food there. But the diversity and arts are much more in New York. However the cost of living , dirtiness and trash are negative of New York
Agreed 💜
have you been t NYC? you definitely can lol.
@@visioday1814 yes
@@mariocisneros911Chicago is clean downtown but lots of litter and dirt in regular neighborhoods
Also Mexican food is not the only Hispanic country. NYC has much better Dominican. Puerto Rican, Ecuadorian and Peruvian food than Chicago.
Thanks for the video! Very insightful
loved your comparison, and love that you like my city more. there's no place like NYC I guess.
We have healthy options too. I live in South Loop and we have everything you are saying NYC has lol Great video. Humbolt Park is the ghetto to. You should of stayed in Lincoln Park. Glad ya'll enjoy NYC, and that high ass rent lol

What’s up man
@@MrKen2446 What it do! Enjoying big city life in The Chi 😎
Chicago has better food because of the fresh food in Illinois and the Midwest. It’s just objective that Chicago has fresher and better food.
Chicago does not offer more food variety than NY. As a Caribbean person Chicago is easily weak in that department. Fresh food might be a factor but having access to variety is another factor
That's not necessarily true. Lots of farms and farmland in the Northeastern part of the country.
HI I like Chicago but l like more New York City l was live in that state l like Washington D.C. to but l live ln Denver co now

Chicago pizza is not better than NY, NJ or CT pizza hence the reason NY pizza is more popular
Chicago pizza is not better than NYC pizza...no way!
I had 2 top 5 slices of my life in Chicago this week. Deep dish is simply goated and they be putting honey and cones pepperoni on it I love if
Before I start watching this I had to comment lol. You better represent giiiiirl

Interesting Video 📹
This is my favorite Channel right now 🔔✅📌
❤️❤️❤️
papa john's is fire? literally the worst chain pizza on the planet. I guess it makes sense considering pizza is so alien to you ha
I like it 😃🍕
Overall, NYC is much safer than Chicago.
Okay........... you messed up when you said pizza........ YOUR CHICAGO PASS IS HEREBY REVOKED......... By the way New York food sucks.
Fine by me. To each their own 😊
52 years in Chicago, do not EVER let your life end up in a big city. Overcrowding, noise, electromagnet cell pollution, crime excessive taxation, political corruption. Ect, ect.

NYC beats Chicago hands down on Architecture.
Hell no!
Defly no
hahaha I'd have to disagree as well.
Hey I love chicago. I can't wait to move to east Garfield Park and maybe englewood and or the Austin neighborhood:)
Ah hell naw you're tweaking Chicago is the capital of great architecture home of the first skyscraper 😂
There is segregation so that causes crime? How about the opposite.......

No. NYC-style pizza in Chicago does not taste like NYC pizza in NYC.
@@olivia.anelise You literally said you didn't really eat pizza before. Now you're a pizza expert?
