You aren't a New Yorker, though. Your'e a smug transplant that moved there - the worst kind. Living there obviously boosts your ego, that's for sure.
I'm not from here, but I most certainly am proud to call this place home. You might figure it out when you grow up. In the meantime, travel a little. It's a real eye-opener.
Ok Captain Atlanta... you feel good about yourself now calling me "smug".
Of course living here boosts my ego, I am paying taxes to live in this city, I love this city very much! I respect the natives and when I'm in NYC, I don't go around talking about where I am from or wanting things to be like where I am from. NYC is a great place, and every New Yorker who holds their own and can manage to live here has every reason to be proud. I've traveled quite a bit, seen my fare share of the country and no place compares to my home NYC to me.
Atlanta, heard you all are proud to be the NYC of the South, so you're about halfway there in pride.
For the nightlife thread I would say NYC, Vegas, Miami are the best nightlifes in the nation.
Again, wait until the metro Census figures come out.
And if you REALLY want to see stark segregation, why don't you throw up the map of your precious New York? Now THATS what I call segregation.
NYC may be a bit segregated and I admit it is compared to LA, Houston, Seattle, SF, and Dallas but its still more diverse and more integrated than Atlanta. That's all Atlantans ever say, "wait till the census comes out" and so what? Atlanta isn't going anywhere when the census comes out, its still going to be plain non diverse segregated deep southern Atlanta at the end of the day.
NYC's segregation is a wonderful thing, because of it we have ethnic neighborhoods and enclaves. Atlanta has one none of that to the scale of other cities. I feel sorry for the multinational people that really do live there

Nativel New Yorkers are embarrassed by the likes of you, Miss New York.
We also have every right to be proud of this place.
And the only people that call Atlanta the New York of the South don't live here. They tend to be people like you that are absolutely clueless when it comes to Atlanta. You seem to be extremely threatened by this place. Why?

First off why would anyone in their right mind be threatened from the capital of the deep south??
Secondly, native New Yorkers meaning not you, aren't embarrassed by me or anyone else. Unlike most transplants, I like the real NYC, not the transplant changing NYC. IMO, NYC in the 90's was the best place in the country when transplants didn't have a say in what stores stay or leave, what neighborhoods get a make over or not... I'm a transplants who wants to keep NYC the way it is.

No, it isn't more integrated than metro Atlanta. Every ethnicity has their individual enclaves, including in the suburbs.
You honestly think segregation is a wonderful thing, huh? That's just sick, in my opinion. Those little segregated enclaves you're so proud of happened because the immigrants of yesterday HAD NO CHOICE. Read a little history sometime.
And don't feel sorry for anyone living here. Over a million have joined us just this past decade, including TONS from the Tri-State area. Nobody held a gun to their heads. I guess this is the fastest growing Korean community in the U.S. "just because," right?

Beyond pathetic.
Atlanta is the fastest growing Korean community? Good because compared to NYC, LA, SF, and DC its still miniature. Hey I guess if NYC got 500 new Koreans every 3 years we can label it the "fastest growing Korean community in the world", right? LOL
Yes I do think some segregation is a wonderful thing. Unlike Atlanta, people in NYC walk to where they have to go or take the transit. They interact daily, if immigrants want to live amongst their own kind, I say let them. That's what America is about, choices. They made theirs. And yes I do like the enclaves we have because of the little bit of segregation here in NYC, ramen boiled to perfection in Flushings, great variety of food and all in one place. Its a beautiful thing, IMO.
I guess it's all the transplanted New Yorkers. Maybe it makes them feel better about leaving their homeland, who knows?
IF there is a New York of the South, it's Miami.
Why so much bitter hatred? Did Delta misroute your bags or something?
No I don't fly from airlines that are based in the deep south (yuck). Bitter hatred? I don't hate Atlanta, I just think Atlantans are drunk on the thought of perfection of their not-so-perfect city. That's all. Why so defensive, did Pepsi threaten to buy out Coca Cola again?
I know plenty of Atlantans who take pride in Atlanta being the NYC of the south.
