New York vs London Hot dogs vs fish & chips; coffee vs tea; yellow taxis vs black cabs: It’s time to pit New York and London against each other to find your perfect place to study. No two international cities are as similar as New York and London and studying in either allows you to immerse yourself in a cosmopolitan center of the world. Dig a little deeper, however, and the subtle contrasts between the two will make a huge difference to your study abroad experience. We’ve compared the two in a number of categories to make it a little easier to answer that million dollar/pound question: Where should I study: London or New York?
Nightlife and Entertainment London and New York are bursting with possibilities – and not just during the day. When the sun goes down, they’re both leading locations for nighttime entertainment. A world-class theater district (Broadway in New York, the
West End in London), all the cuisines you can think of (and even some you never imagined) and A-list gigs can be enjoyed in both.
Tasty Treats Both destinations are readymade for food lovers. Every visitor has to look beyond, but not ignore, the stereotypical dishes these cities are known for. Afternoon tea, crumpets (a spongy, butter-soaked griddle cake), and a meaty roast dinner are essential to London life while hot dogs, burgers, and bagels have been fuelling New Yorkers for decades. When you look further, however, you’ll discover dishes from across the globe, street food stands selling tasty concoctions and innovative chefs rustling up mouthwatering flavors that can’t be found anywhere else.
Freebies London excels at offering free things to do – perfect when you’re on a student budget. Checking out ancient artifacts at the British Museum and National History Museum won’t cost you a pound, nor will gazing at the acclaimed art on show at the National
Gallery, Tate Britain or the Tate Modern. New York can’t compete with such great free activities, but you’ll still find gems around the city – you just have to search a little harder. Some museums, galleries and small concert venues are free (or pay what you like) on specific days.
Getting Around The Big Apple’s restaurants and bars never sleep – nor does its transport system. Its 24 metro lines run 24/7 while only three of London’s 11 lines run throughout the night (and then only on weekends). New York’s subway is also better connected than its British counterpart with the MTA boasting 468 stations compared to London’s 270. Getting around New York is also kinder on your wallet with the average bus, taxi and subway ride working out cheaper than those in London.
