This is one of those things that gets huge tv coverage. Avoid Times Square like the plague. Keep away from all other restaurants in that area they are RIDICULOUSLY over-priced and the food is terrible! There are lots of souvenir shops where you’ll pay way too much for (often cheesy) gifts. You can do better by getting away from this place
The Statue of Liberty officially titled Liberty Enlightening the World dedicated on October 28, 1886, is a monument commemorating the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence, given to the United States by the people of France to represent the friendship between the two countries established during the American Revolution. No offend to New Yorkers and Yanks I love NYC as much as i love London. Both cities are the world’s Alpha + + Cities UK+US Allies forever.
Architecture?u should have known european cities have the world’s oldest cathedrals,churches,unbeatable architectures since BC,u make me laugh man do u know Wembley Stadium London is the world’s most expensive US$1.58B,London has arsenal FC Emirate Stadium,Chelsea & more,London O2 Area is busier and bigger than Madison Square Garden,Londo imax cinema is better than nyc ones London Underground is world’s 1st oldest and longest metro sytem,has NYC ever hosted any Olympic Games?wana talk about it?
the 1800s… funny, the monuments in my small city in Northern Italy have been there for over 2000 years
NY is great though…
Food?you make me laugh so go eat cheap hot dogs and cheese burgers, don’t you know Europe has the best foods? English pubs are the most famous in the world. Shopping?you should visit to HARRODS, Oxford Street and Bond Street and embarrass yourself.Great Lifestyle? i think you have forgotten to mention about the Ghettos and South Bronx in NYC? don’t you see tons of hobos in the heart of NC? and residents dump loads of bin bags on the platform and next to the lampposts?
@f11rob
Skyscrapers?don’t u understand the English language?London is the most economically powerful city that means we can build any kind of skyscrapers as much as we want but the thing is that we don’t value those kinda things and obviously any country can build skyscrapers within a decade look Hong Kong and Dubai u need to open ur eyes a little wider to see the globe thoroughly.Culture?u must b ignorant to boast about it London has more than 2000 Years of History whereas NY has only 200 years
Oh wow who gives a shit, London is fucking boring. Many tourists are people who study who wanna learn about the fucking royals. **** THE ROYALS. 8 Airports OMG PARTY!!!.
You know what NYC has Over London? Skyscrapers, Culture, Food, Shopping, Fast paced, Great Lifestyle. The buildings have such a great architecture many are still there from the 1800s.

London is bigger than NYC London is da world’s 2nd most visited city after Paris by estimated no.of international visitors15 million people visited in 2009. Plus, London is still the world’s financial capital & most economically powerful city Universities in London are a lot better than universities in NYC UCL University of College London and Imperial College London were ranked at 4th and 5th in 2009 world wide whereas NY Columbia was ranked at 11th London has 8 airports so shut up
yes that’s because he is Irish twat
That guy has a weird accent. He keeps pronouncing some words wrong. Lolz. He should have mentioned the food in Chinatown and Little Italy in Manhattan. The food there is awesome. And I don’t really think Brooklyn is that great even though I live there. xD
yeah lol
ok listen up everybody take it from a native New Yorker. New York is the greatest most beautiful city in the world, but a lot of it is the ghetto like Me i’m from the the ghetto but I love it cause there is so much more in NYC, I am from a place called Washington Heights In uptown Manhattan, all the ghettos in NYC are llike Washington Heights, Morningside Heights, Harlem, Spanish Harlem, Jackson Heights, Bed – Stuy, East New York, Hunts Point, South Bronx, Riverdale, Bedford Park, ect.
Wish he’d stop calling it Central Perk, I don’t see Rachel, Chandler, Joey, Monica, Ross or Phoebe anywhere!
America is only 233 years old and will turn 234 on July 4, 2010 and London was founded in A.D. 43 by the Romans. Stop being a retard.
It has over 500 years of history starting as new amsterdam. And london only has about 700 years history. Good try though..
shitty New York has ONLY about 200 years of H
history.
London about 2000 years of history. My house is older than New York.
i dont think so, it gets many tourists from around the world, and they keep coming back, i see you’re from the UK, what does a shitty tiny overcrowded country like the UK have to compete with New York,, lol, nothing.
@goodfella21f
NYC is an overcrowded, rat infested, *beep* hole.
New York is overrated and is given too much credit and hype
LOL, New York isn’t only about Times Square, there’s so much more to this beautiful city, i’ve heard from people from all over that this is the best city they’ve ever visited, many from Europe.
Avoid Times Square like the plague. Keep away from all other restaurants in that area they are RIDICULOUSLY over-priced and the food is terrible! So many first time visitors to New York make plans to visit Times Square almost as soon as they unpack their suitcases. My question is why? So what do you get to see? Well, IMO, a lot of other tourists milling about wondering what on earth all the fuss is about! There are lots of souvenir shops where you’ll pay way too much for (often cheesy) gifts.
im going friday so it better be fun
@seanpaulm5
I don’t get it man. Why no punctuation in all that? I understand “it’s the internet” “who cares” but it’s almost impossible to read.
