Paris vs New York — Which City Actually Wins?

Paris is trending heavily in Canada today — which makes this the perfect moment to settle the debate that every serious traveller eventually has. Two cities. Two completely different visions of what a great city should be. Here is what the data, the history, and the trivia say.

• The Approach to Food — Paris views dining as an unhurried ritual. The preparation, the table — is different in kind from the New York relationship with food as fuel or discovery.
• Scale and walkability — Paris fits within a 10km diameter. You can walk the city in a way that reveals it. New York rewards the subway; Paris rewards the feet.
