The article was interesting, but still sort of condescending towards our city. I mean, we know what a great city it is, but the tone was like, oh wow, can you imagine that, good food in Chicago....

New Yorkers love good food, and if the food, like anything else they want, is not exceptional, the seller won't last. The idea that Chicago has anything on NY when it comes to diversity and authenticity is laughable, and while the food is OK here (yes, just OK) chefs from all over the world come to NY to make it. The city might be mythical to those who don't live in it, but it is very real and raw, and the energy is created not by where it places on a map but the people who live there.

I am so sick of reading self-congratulatory articles by Chicago authors who just want to hate on NYC. Chicago residents are so unwelcoming to NY'ers and have such chips on their shoulders about being "the second city" that articles like this are dripping with envy.

Be Chicago...that's it. Stop trying to convince people you're better than another city already.

Dana- I wasn't hating on NY I was comparing Chicago to the rest of the country!

It bears to mention that this post was originally written in May of '06 and it just so happens that for the past 6 months I've been sharing time between an apartment in Edgewater and one in Chelsea. I've been eating out in NYC as often as I have been here. My opinion hasn't changed. That said, I do appreciate the volume more. If you want to eat a certain kind of food every night you could do so at a different restaurant every night.

That said, I stand by my opinion...
(more is not always better)
