my partner and I go there every June for Pride; Toronto, now that is a city, and I 'd take Toronto anytime over NYC.
Haha, I think you're being a bit too harsh. I'm from Toronto and am currently living in NY. I find the trains clean and reasonable reliable (especially compared to London). People are rude, yes. Parks are so nice and clean!! I was shocked. I also find NY more reasonable than Canada (probably since my family earns in CAD$ and I spent in USD$)

Cheers,
