@@TheBryanJun Two*
@@TheBryanJun I don’t know if you ever have while living here but next time you come back drive around on the multi level streets, their pretty cool. You can access them at a lot of different points but one cool way is driving under St. Regis tower.
I love Chicago. I can actually live here without being financially stripped-down ever month for basic expenses while doing the things I love. I recommend Chicago to anyone looking for a world class city without being driven into abject poverty. Plus the transit system here is excellent!
I miss it so much
No. The transit system in Chicago is waaaaaayyyy better than the MTA in New York.
And what about security? Is it dangerous as many people say?
@@francescozuniga4111 No completely overstated
@@francescozuniga4111 it is but only in certain areas. It’s a major city so anywhere with a massive population, it’s very unpredictable. Chicago is by far the cleanest northern city. I’ve been to New York City and it’s very dirty. Los Angeles speaks for itself with feces,drugs,homeless,etc….
I visited Chicago two years ago. What stood out to me was the amount of sidewalk space and how timely the subway was (not sure if I just got lucky, though). I definitely would want to come back, at least to visit and have Portillo's.
big fan would love to live there again
If you come back im local. Can show you the local places the good stuff... see cuz the locals now consider portillos just the edge. Just as olive garden isn't true italian or taco bell isn't really Mexican food or panda express isn't authentic Chinese, theres way deeper into the rabbit hole. 🤔 only thing for you to consider as you return is that i offer the red pill only. And everything is back open again. Right now you could eat out at all the festivals and not even touch a restaurant. But on the regular you could literally have a filipino or Japanese breakfast, polish sausage sandwich or Vietnamese banhmi lunch, and then kumas Korner for a stupid good huge ass burger. And i have not even touched pizza yet
In my 30 years in Chicago, I would never have concluded that the public transit system was timely. Quite the opposite. The waiting periods between trains is definitely much shorter in NYC, and there's far more of them. All in all, the transit system in NYC beats Chicago, not only in timeliness, but accessibility, and convenience. Large swathes of Chicago have no access to rapid transit. One can easily reach most places in New York's boroughs and the tri state area by train. Catching an L train, late at night in Chicago, is a hassle, since one can wait one half hour for a train, which is grueling if its on the elevated tracks during the sub arctic winter. The incredible thing that people take for granted in NYC is how a massive this 24 hour system, works as well and efficiently it does.
@@LUIS-ox1bv Chicago is a wannabe world class city. Not a real one. All of that is true. Most of Chicago's politician's wants the citizens to rely on CTA, walk, or ride bikes (no freedom of transit). NYC is known for its transit system. The traffic issues come from older infrastructure (narrow, outdated).
Chicagoan here: Fun fact.. it's called 'Second City' because of the rebuilding of the city after the Chicago fire, not because it's second best to NYC. Loved this video and I couldn't agree more with everything you said. We are also typically nicer than New Yorkers.
You failed to mention that Chicago does not smell like piss in the summer.
HAHHA facts
Yessss
Great video, appreciate the detail. Deciding between the two for travelling, so this helped a lot!
Chicago is the closest city to New York that you are going to find architecturally, demographically and public transportation.
Public transport is better in DC.
And cleaner
@Cadillac Kadafi Chicago's city and Manhattan are similar but so different at the same time we are a much busier area
@@ahmedzakikhan7639 been to DC it's public transportation doesn't compare to NY transportation you gotta remember we have greyhounds, amtraks, subways, boroughs with different buses
@@Guerrillachop I was comparing with Chicago
Southside Chicago here!
There is a significant comparison between NYC and ChiCity. I love both of them. The main difference is the vibe. Chicago is more blue-collar, laid back, and spacious with a Midwest vibe that has a sense of humility, a slow pace, and open nature. Not a flashy and party city like New York. I always believe that Chicago is more of a museum, has a great eco-green environment for family adventure outings, and is an eatery dining restaurant city. The only thing New York has more than Chicago, is it's the entertainment, fashion, and music capital city in the country and world. Very diverse and less segregated unlike Chicago. Chicago is a huge city but a very intimate city you can enjoy one on one with great space.
I love ur videos
THANKS!!
Grew up in NYC and I’m moving to Chicago. Great video!
Ur gonna love it!!
How was it
Never thought of Chicago to be a romantic city but when you said that is has this sorta romance vibe I immediately agreed. Living in LA, everytime I came back home and visited Chicago I just fell back in love all over again, great place for young adults. Good luck in NYC man great video. Can’t wait to visit the big apple in the spring time.
I really miss it a lot
Chicago is TOO romantic. That's one of the many reasons I would never think about visiting there. The number of alternative people is high on top of it. Life is literally like an episode of the Addams Family, The Munsters, or said CW/FOX show.
Bryan your editing is getting better
I'm trying different things really appreciate it!!
Thanks for your insights! Have been super conflicted about where to move next (grew up near NYC but currently live in DC/B'more area)... Love the chill vibes and lack of sticky humid weather of many west coast cities but they just don't have the extensive transit infrastructure of cities like NY, Chicago, and DC (I HATE driving). Chicago seems to have most of the amenities of NY at a fraction of the price. I'm a little worried I might have to scale back my lifestyle which tends to value frequent travel in order to live in NY. Both have good nightlife (for the U.S. anyway)... Applying to opportunities in both and we'll see what happens.
How’d it go?
I lived in both Chicago and New York City. Chicago is cheaper but don't let anyone fool you Chicago is nothing like New York City at all.
Cool video. Much love from New York City, brother. 🍺
Nice video. And Chicago is by far my favorite big US city to visit. There’s lots of things to do, the food is great, the people are nice, and it’s really easy to get around without a car. And its grid layout makes it just about impossible to get lost.
And I’m glad you mentioned the elephant in the room-the weather. As someone who grew up in Southern California I was not prepared for how cold it gets there. So, if you’re planning to visit I suggest the spring or fall.
forsure - thanks for watching, i grew up in socal too so similar thoughts
as a born and bred new yorker, i feel a bit attacked. however, it's understandable. i just hope that more outsiders explore the outer boroughs as well cuz they're usually overlooked.(if ure visiting nyc get tips and advice from people that lived there since they were young. most of the "visitors" that go there for work or vacation don't know anything about the city tbh.)- a queens kid
a great point most of the people I've hung out with in nyc are not from town
Love Queens
People think New York is just Manhattan for a reason
I grew up in new York city and lived in Chicago and I will agree.
sames
I'm from the East coast and can say confidently Chicago is a highly underrated city, but hey, we can keep it a secret ;).
For those that think Chicago is cold, the Winters have gotten more mild over the years. It's not so dissimilar to Boston (+/- a few days out of the year). It's balanced city that also happens to be located near one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the world, which has its potential perks in light of global warming.
I like the winters better in Chicago Then in New York
Chicago winters are brutal thooo
Glad you enjoyed Chicago! 🇰🇷 stumbled upon your channel. Keep up the good work!
It's the GOAT thanks!!
It is cheaper than nyc, it has lake michigan and compared to nyc its newer in buildings and looks a lot more colorful and cleaner, like chicago has the blue lake water, yellow city lights and new buildings and super green parts that pop especially in the summer time if that makes more sense, but I love NYC for all it has to offer like it's an actual 24/7 city, and has most headquarters of big companies and industries, and I like the vibe of nyc like greenwhich village, cute little boroughs like that. I love both cities.
I love em both but I have to agree with this guy. Great points all around.
Thinkin of moving to CHI after college. I'm from STL, so its not to far and only a train ride away, and it just seems like its a better quality of life with more opportunity.
Im from NYC and want to move to Chicago but I never been there
You should make a video on safe neighborhoods because I do have a son! ❤️
Its safer to live in NY
Depends on what you consider safe. I’m from Chicago and currently live here. Plenty of families in my neighborhood, which is relatively safe. However, you still have to keep in mind you’re in a big city and crime can happen anywhere. Roscoe Village is a really nice and family oriented neighborhood. So in Lincoln Park. It really depends on what you want out if you’re neighborhood honestly. We have 77 different neighborhoods and they’re all very different.
I lived in both Chicago and New York City. The north side of Chicago is pretty safe.
I lived in Edgewater section of the north side.
Look don't let these people fool you Chicago is nothing like New York City if you like New York City.
If you want a calm big city with less l would think Chicago would fit your needs. If you want cheaper rent Chicago is better.
But this video is all wrong because Chicago does not compare to New York City which is overcrowded and packed in with a crazy pace and culture that all cities with 8. 7 million plus have. Chicago only have 2.7 million people and is slower and calmer.
@@phillyguy2157 I agree on everything u said NYC is 10xs busier especially during the rush hour it's bumper to bumper traffic
@@Guerrillachop
Yeah man Chicago is not like New York City. Chicago is more like Toronto in comparison.
But Chicago does have nice real estate. I lived in a high-rise condo building of 54 stories tall.
Chicago is less expensive than New York City and very manageable vs New York City which is very expensive.
You just can't compare the two cities.
Having visited both cities, I would, without a doubt, choose to live in Chicago!!
yeah I really want to live there again :(
Bad choice
@@blazingnecromancer4290 ikr

Chicago is stands out more than NYC imo. Just the scenery alone is too pretty, it doesn't feel American if that makes sense.
100% agreed it has a european vibe
You must haven't been to Times Square, down town Brooklyn or different parts of Manhattan or seen our malls
Maybe its the gothic style of the buildings like churches in Europe like notre dame
Thank you and that's the reason I hate the place. Too elegant, too classy, too nice, too cultured, too refined...of all cities in the US, Chicago is the most depressing and embarrassing.
Hey, thanks for the video. Just one question, to your advice what are the worldwide suggested cities for IB career ?
Because Chicago have u that why its so special ❤️
HAHHA
I like that shirt. Summer vibes.
SUMMA VIBES
I have two kids and want them to go to best school what part of Chicago is best.
Chicago is a much easier city to navigate for me. The weather does suck, but hey it’s the Midwest. I’m not totally sure on this, because I’ve never eaten at a NYC steakhouse , but the Chicago steakhouses appear not to be as snobby as NYC steakhouses, this is just a hunch. I love Chicago steakhouses.
That was a big culture shock for me with New York even after having been to many other cities in the US, the way that even in 'nice' neighborhoods trash bags just gets tossed on the sidewalk and not in a can or dumpster or anything.
yeah it's a mess, need alleyways
i was born in nyc and currently living in turkey where i'm originally from, at some point in my life i really do wanna experience living in both citys
my thoughts on this topic actually is the same as yours
How's the house music scene out there? Thinking of moving just for that.
I'm not an expert but there's definitely a huge live music bar scene
Chicago is the home of House!
It’s great , we get down at the parks & block party’s everyone all races have fun !
Thank U Sooooo Mf Much For Proving Wat All Of Us Chicagoans Already Know Chi-City Is Da Best City No Bap😈😉😌😤🙌👏🤝🙏🤟💪👌💯
Los Angeles was like that a long time ago. Now its a hustle place like NYC.
Are you doing a stream tonight or what days do you do those?
Also the workout plan is working for ya can see it in your face
Every Wednesday 10pm et!
How ya like yer hat dags?
Most of the problems with NYC have to do with crowding. Too many people in one place. Its only gotten worse over the years. Chicago is more spread out and also cheaper than NYC. I found that surprising. A friend of mine bought a nice size house in Chicago for less money than a 2 bedroom apartment in Queens.
Going to Chicago at the end of the month! Really excited to see what everyone means when they say it’s a great city!
Youll have a great time!

@@georgebul9292 ikr
How was it
Good luck surviving
Been saying this lol
it's just facts
Chicago is a city of how you make it to be. There is endless opportunities,definitely a hustle mentality if you choose,diverse cultures,entertainment,etc… however since neighborhoods are essentially isolated from each other which is why it’s actually called “the city of neighborhoods” it’s up to the individual to seek out all those opportunities. Is it a place to raise a family or is it a place to be an entrepreneur? I think that it’s a great place for a person who has the ingenuity and strength to make it a more world renowned city like NY and LA. All it takes is that spark ⚡️ to ignite the fire of creativity.

When he said "Wait to get 4 dollar pizza from Joe's" I knew
My favorite part of nyc tbh
Its true. I literally went into a Rosatis pizza downtown Chicago under the el after midnight. Smoked up had the munchies. There was little line at all. Maybe 1 person or 2 at most. But now that you mention it, its like that at the taco joint, the jerk place, the ramen noodle place, except for places like themed burgers like kumas korner. Or sometimes harolds chicken or mitsuwa sutadonya bowl theres most definitely lines there! Chicago not only in the city but the burbs have variety too. Or extended branches of famous local restaurants
The salaries were about 30% lower in Chicago just a few years ago. For IT industry at least.
probs still the same but COL is like 50% lower
Never have to wait for anythibt until you go to the Panda Express in UIC

Originally On November 2021, I Was About Going To Chicago, Illinois To Stay In For 1 Whole Month Only. But Then It Was Delayed Into November 2022 So That's Why I Will Able To Go Maybe About 3 Months I Think? And It Was All Because In a JetBlue Card, They Change From Krusty The Clown To Graggle Simpson. 😐
I’m 36. I’ve lived in Chicagoland for half my life. 127th and western area. Admittedly not a city boy or a southside g. But Legit 18 years of my life in these parts. Those other 18yrs were spent in North Carolina. I met some NY homies out here and they was cool af. I wanna try that pizza. See what them hot dogs about. I wanna see that skyline off one of them bridges. I’ll rep NY with respect, if I’m allowed. Trade a chopped cheese for a baptized Italian beef
Really - theres nothing to compare ( I've done at least 25 years in EACH) ..2 different cities and cultures. As Bryan said " Its a matter of choice"
You are very handsome! Great video and I completely agree with all your points made!

Lol right? The irony here, that Europeans settled north America because their cities were too dirty and polluted only for the same thing to happen which led to urban planning such as alleys and bike ways.
Chicago is called "The Second City" because they rebuilt it after the Chicago Fire
true
Urban planning started in Paris before Chicago
nah chicago the GOAT
In Chicago you don't get trampled by pushy pedestrians on the sidewalk like you do in NYC

Definitely and more friendly people overall, I went there 3 times this year, the people are pretty decent for the most part.
Hell yeah, Chicago is definitely the most fun city I've ever been to. Fun is literally everywhere, it doesn't stop.

@@queenbugs depends on your version of fun, you need some money to have fun but not a lot. Money is just a facade
@@TheFitBizCPA i mean it is but im telling you because i live on the south side that there is nothing fun here after sox 35th it just becomes depressing
@@queenbugs wow, yea I cannot imagine living in the South Side. I was mostly in the Northside bubble. Now it makes more sense why you think its depressing, I'd run away.
Question:
Do people in chicago has a very nice behaviour than people in NY ?
Yes. They are way, way friendlier.
That's very easy to compare Chicago to New York City because you already know you pay less rent in Chicago. And it's far less crowded in Chicago vs New York City.
Chicago is far more manageable for the average single person than NYC.
I think it's the skyscrapers in Chicago that confuses these "City Virgins" out there. They think Chicago is like New York City because of the skyscrapers in Chicago and therefore they compare the two cities. I'm from Philadelphia but lived in both Chicago and New York City. I can even say Chicago was easier than Philadelphia.
yeah i miss chicago alot
I’m from Nashville so Chicago was my nearby big city of the big 3(LA, Chicago, and NYC). Chicago has the best skyline, better food, and less cost! I’ve been to NYC and was not not impressed at all!

Its in the animals the wildlife in the people, just like the weather. Teaches people here to prepare for harsh life, to be stronger than your circumstances and get shit done before the weather turns but come out like a vengeance with no limit when the weather is good.

Your comment about Chicago being “Second City” to New York is inaccurate. The name ‘Second City’ is in reference to the rebuilding of the city after the Chicago Fire.

@@TheBryanJun Nah don't worry it's dope, it is a character from the show attack on Titan
'2nd City" means the City that was built after the ramshackle "1st City" that burned down in 1871
Wrong. 2nd city refers to the intense rivalry between NYC & Chicago the early part of the 20th century. Chicago was growing so fast it soon would overtake NYC in population. NYC then incorporated Brooklyn, Queens. Bronx and Staten Island with Manhattan to ensure it didn't happen
I live in Delaware I would rather visit Chicago than New York
it's an architectural city, however b/c of the corruption/violence, and highway robbery taxation not a very realistic place to live for long term.

Exactly the video I want to put down and bash. Chicago is TOO clean, TOO cultured, TOO refined, TOO nice...it sickens the shit out of me. I haven't been downtown since 2005 and I'm looking to move away, forever. The positives are beaten to a pulp by the negatives. Chicago is a wannabe European city, posing as an American city. The fine arts and alternative lifestyles are better celebrated and taken seriously there. One of the top radio stations is WFMT. That should say something. There's a reason New York is the #1 city in America. While New York has the same shit as Chicago, New York is the first city foreigners think of, when they think of the US.
:(
@@TheBryanJun Bwaaaaaw. Did I hurt your feelings by bashing an overly-white, elegant, educated, squeaky clean cesspool...Chicago really sickens me. I always hated that city, as much as Homer Simpson hates New York. Chicago is the American version of said Eurotrash city, with skyscrapers and expressways.
Both of these cities are holding it down for America as far as skylines. Chicago was the birth place of the skyscraper, New York went big with it and built the Empire State Building, now the skyscraper is all over the world.
Yes Chicago is America's 2nd city, New York has more population and it ends there. Everything else Chicago just does bigger, better, and grander. Chicago doesn't have to prove itself, it is that city that is what it is. Overwall it's just simply the best city in america and certainly one of the best cities in the world.
Truth
Los Angeles is the 2nd city. Chicago is on its way to be 4th, after Houston.
@@phoenix5054 Chicago is 2nd in having a much larger skyline than both LA and SF put together and 2nd largest rail transit system out side NYC.

2nd generation Asian Americans don't really face housing segregation. They live everywhere.
@@kayflip2233 that's not what I meant.
@DC Nah that's just because you grew up in segregated area. It doesn't mean it's natural. I grew up in Queens, NY and it wasn't too segregated. I have friends of every race and it wasn't common for people to have long time, best friends of every race because we all went to the same schools and grew up with each other. Yes, many people chose to hang out with their own race but it wasn't like it was totally exclusive. If you didn't grow up in a big integrated city like NYC, London, Toronto, LA, Sydney etc, then you wouldn't know. Just because YOU grew up that way doesn't mean EVERYBODY grows up the same way.
@DC Also, 2nd generation Asian Americans are the perfect example of this. There's no 2nd generation Asian American town in any major city in the US. They literally live anywhere and amongst every race.
