I mean, none of these are truly fair comparisons. There's no question that there are many things Sf will be better at because of its size and there's other things New York can offer because of its size. But that's what this whole thread is about, comparing the two cities regardless of the root causes for their differences. For example, sf has better quality food in general, since the weather is more forgiving and farms and wineries are quite close. Still, there's no question that the food in sf is of higher quality on average.
