READING. LONDON OR NEW YORK CITY?

The debate over which is the better city — New York City or London
— has been raging for a long time.
The cities are alike in that they're both densely populated
cosmopolitan metropolises, but they also have their differences.

Cost
London and NYC are notorious for their high costs of living. It turns
out that London appears to be more expensive for both inhabitants
and tourists.
New York City is the less expensive city for both inhabitants and
tourists.
Transportation
In New York City there's the subway, and in London there's the tube.
According to Time Out, a total of 1.65 billion people ride the subway
and a total of 1.2 billion ride the tube. With 24 lines, 468 stations,
the subway covers a larger ground than the tube, which has 11 lines,
270 stations, and 249 miles of track. The subway also runs 24 hours
a day, while the tube generally stops running at midnight.
Not only does the subway cover more ground than the tube, it's also
less expensive to use. A single subway ride costs $2.75, and an
unlimited monthly pass costs $116.50. A single ride on the tube
costs around $7.30, and a monthly pass for zones 1-3 costs about
$191.
New York City is the less expensive city for both inhabitants and
tourists
Nightlife
New York is called the city that never sleeps for a good reason:
Nightlife in NYC goes on well into the morning, with clubs and bars
staying open much later than those in London.
London pubs generally close at 11 pm, and bars stay open till 1 to
3am on the weekends (12:30-1:30am on the weekdays).
However, London wins when it comes to numbers. London has a
total of 1190 nightlife establishments listed for the city; NYC has
only 816.
Attractions
Although it's hard to calculate the quality of the attractions i n each
city, it's easy to see which city has more tourist attractions. London
has a total of 492 sights and attractions, while New York City has
295. London has 38 more museums than NYC (262 vs 224)
museums, and 36 more tours and attractions (475 vs 439).
Not only London has more attractions than NYC, many of London's
museums and galleries offer free admission
Weather
London is often portrayed as a very rainy city. But in reality, New
York City gets more precipitation — not just rain, but also snow —
during the year.
London also experiences more mild temperatures throughout the
year. New York City's average lows during the winter months are
mostly in the 20s and 30s Fahrenheit, whereas London's winter lows
hover around 40 degrees F. NYC's summer highs are ar ound 80
degrees F, and London's are a good 10 degrees cooler, around 70
