It's an opinion (-.-). If you said Chicago isn't beautiful, it just stretches across the lake shore. I would say, what do you call Manhattan which ISN'T beautiful (in my opinion) and stretches along the Hudson/Atlantic.

You've got your opinion and I've got mine. I personally think that NYC is seen as the best because of tradition. It use to be that no cities came close to matching NYC. Its tradition that's kept NYC at its number one spot for all these years. Hate to break it to you, but NYC is fading. Time to let everyone else shine.

Im not saying Chicago isn't beautiful for one, that was just something we call and example.

And sorry, you aren't breaking anything to me, as that is something we call an OPINION. New York for me is ahead of Chicago. Sorry to break it to you, but that's not a fact. And even more i have to break one last thing to you. People have different opinions. I know this is going to be hard to except, but it's okay, you will get over this painful truth soon
