No comparison - New York is a better city and the reason is pickles. Not once in my time living in California did I ever encounter anything like a good half-sour. I also feel that the NY tech scene is humbler then SF. In SF there is a feeling that tech rules everything and you need to get out of the way if you aren't involved in it. It breeds arrogance. In NYC Tech is only one of many different industries coexisting. There is a lot more cross-pollination of ideas here.
