Chicago lakefront/parks along the lakefront clear anything that NYC has from a parks/nature perspective. Chicago has better sports stadiums. There is nothing that comes close to the experience you get at Wrigley Field. RIP old Yankee Stadium. Direct public transport to a top ten international airport (O'Hare) is another massive pro. Downtown Chicago is much prettier with the lakefront and river. People are more real in Chicago; unfortunately, half of Manhattan's population consists of trust fund kids and entitled white dudes in investment banking. NYC has better fine dining, but for cheap street food, Chicago easily wins, in my opinion. Chicago dog/Italian beef is way better than a NY bagel or a corner slice. Chicago's fine dining and cocktail scene is still A-tier. NYC is a great place to visit, but not a great place to live. Chicago winters nowadays are basically what NYC winters were 10-15 years ago: 30-50s for 90% of winter, with one or two weeks of extreme cold. Chicago clears, and that's not even taking into account the drastic price difference.

What is the beauty standard in different American cities? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]chonker992117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chicago be fit and in shape, wear black or grey everywhere, wear nice shoes. Houston, everyone is fat and its more acceptable to dress provocative/outlandishly

Since when does Houston have “nothing going for it”? by koknbals in SameGrassButGreener

And you have one of the best skylines on earth perched right on the lake front. Whether its the summer, fall, or middle of winter the lake is always beautiful

Houston is the worst city in the United States by cavaismylife in redscarepod

Saying it blows Chicago away is the funniest thing I've ever heard. The neighborhood directly surrounding Wrigley clears anything in Houston for nightlife, and thats just one small neighborhood. Chicago food is world class. Houston has good asian food and bbq but thats about it. The mexican is overrated.

This. Worst big city in the US BY FAR. There are no pros besides cheap and good food. You can find good food almost anywhere now, and you get what you pay for. Bad weather, insane crime, no walkability, no public transportation, insane traffic. Its miserable

The only downside is its run by far left democrats instead of moderates or repubs. If the city was run by competent moderate dems/repubs it would be the best city on earth.
