Actually the bolded is philadelphia but the premis of the Op to me is ill concieved, NY is all that and more. Sure Harvard is the best school, or more celebs may live in Hollywood, more oil produced in Houston, Tech in the bay etc. But at the of the day all of these are significantly influenced from NY and mostly is a center of all the categories anyway. The size and offerings of NYC are amazing but the power is derived from one thing. MONEY - which is its forte
Correction NBC Universal is HQ'd in NYC....Comcast HQ is in Philadelphia and is part owner...the other part owner General Electric is HQ'd in NYC as well.
Actually will get technical for you because you were being smart.
Here is the Headquarters BTW - You like to beat on Philly and on my point to me it made no difference as to NY being what it is if NBC (Yes NBCUniversal) is HQ'd in Philly which it is, its owners are there in this building
It is actually pretty simple. Follow the money. Money and Commerce are what NY controls and weilds power and importnace from. All else is a derivative of this point. And with the money and power comes all else. like it or not, in the allmighty dollar you really find your answer
well it isn't necessarily b/c they have money... the money is just a reflection of what goes on there.
Where did you read that NYC is the best at everything?

Most New Yorkers have a superiority complex and look down on the rest of the world. Read some of the posts on this thread you will see what I mean. I'm not saying that NYC is not a global city or that its not diverse. I'm simply saying that NYC is not the best at everything and even if you agree I'm sure there are many things that you think NYC is the best at when in reality there are other cities that beat NYC in many different categories.
well it isn't necessarily b/c they have money... the money is just a reflection of what goes on there.
Actually yes and no - the money control fuels the pot, not because they have the money but because it is controlled there
