Excuse me? As a New Yorker who moved here in the early 2010s I beg to STRONGLY differ. The city has never been more vibrant and energetic. It’s teeming with people and tourists more than ever before. Businesses are thriving. Rents are insane. People are scrambling and fighting over each other to come here. Art, culture, food - I’d put it up against anything.

But Paris is pretty damn cool.
