[quote=Anonymous]I’ve posted before on here but I was born and raised in DC. I stake out very hard to defend positions praising DC over most any east coast metro area, particularly NYC.  But to say that even the best year in DC restaurants is even *close* to the level of any year in London dining for the past 2 decades is absurd.  They’re not even in the same league.  It’s like saying the 1999 DC United squad could beat literally any team in the Premier League.  It’s just foolishness.

There are undoubtedly social/political problems in the UK.  But they’re not that different from the ones in the U.S.  and really most of Western Europe.  Farmers are driving their tractors around and lighting shit on fire in Rotterdam, Brussels, and Paris.

But London is a top notch global city.  Their parks aren’t trash, I don’t even understand that one.  The transit system both in London and the train system throughout the country is unbelievable.  London and DC just don’t compare.  DC is more like Edinburgh (another great city - but we beat them on restaurant scene in a big way) and London is NYC.

I’d love for the London haters, especially those who think *DC* is convincingly superior, to tell me one other city in the world, not in the U.S., that is better than London.  I’m not saying London is the best - I just want to know what your frame of reference is.[/quote]
