Well what is there not to say about my City? Its the city that never sleeps, we have Broadway, the Yankees, Pizza (and I mean real Pizza the way it should be made), The most famous sky line in the world, Its one of the largest cultural and economic hubs of the world. We have the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel the longest underwater vehicle tunnel in North America, Carnegie Hall, The MET and much much more. If you want it we got it, and if we don’t got it we know where to get it, and if you don’t ask where we got it we can get it for you at half price. Basically its like Toronto but ten times better. B}

You got that slightly backwards. Toronto is like New York, but cleaner and less crime!

We don't have Broadway but we do have around 5 large theatres with long run plays much like Broadway. We have the Jays (I went to the game today and they won!) And pizza every bit as good as New York. Actually, the best pizza and Italian food is found up in Vaughan where the Italian community has moved.

New York is only 10 times more crowded then Toronto, not better. :D

Welsby,

Why would Warrington still call itself a town if they have a population the size of 200,000? A town with a population that definitely warrants the tile of "city" IMO.

True. That makes it better than four times the size of the community I live in and we like to call ourselves a city...

Well, Newberry only has a population of 12,000. But, that doesnt stop the people here from referring to it as a city. :thud:

Damn, I hate this town.

We can debate which city is better latter, but I will have to call BS on this off the bat. :D Pizza is only Pizza if its made in New York city any where else and you get an inferior imitation. Now I could understand that your pallet may not be able to understand what I am talking about, and to you Toronto pizza may be good enough. But to my distinguished pallet their is no comparison.

Dante - I have been to New York and eaten Italian food there. It was excellent.

Have you been to Toronto? If not then I do not think that you can make a fair comparison. You will note that I didn't try to say that Toronto had better food. However, I did say it was every bit as good. :yes:

And as a further comparison, I have also been to Italy :)

No I have not been to Toronto, but I have been to many places where the locals believed their Pizza was good when it was not and I have never been to a place other then New York where the Pizza was all that great. I am just drawing on that experience. I can see how I could be mistaken, not having tried Toronto Pizza, but from my experience I will go with what I think until proven other wise.

In every place other then here that I have been to, the better tasting pizzas where those that tasted like the pizzas you get form the Pizza huts and Dominoes (chain restaurants). :D

Also I should point out that I am only talking about Pizza not all of Italian foods, that I can believe Toronto having in good quality. :yes:

let me ask you this do you like the Olive Garden (assuming you have one that is?)


And as a further comparison I to have been to Italy, and my grandmother cooks Italian food not form concentrate. B}

We used to have The Olive Garden here. They went out of business because they couldn't compete with the wonderful Italian restaurants in this city.

We do have Pizza Hut and other chains - but I am talking about pizza available in smaller privately owned pizzerias and restaurants.

We do have a small, local, chain here called Mamma's Pizza that is pretty good. Very thin crust. Personally I like a bit thicker, but I keep going back there because it tastes so damn good.

You may have missed a story I told a long time ago about my sojurn in Houston. One of the things I really missed while there was having a really good pizza because all I could find was the chain crap. I finally found a little local haunt that made really good pizza. It was way out of the way (I actually lived north of Houston, not in the city).

Somehow the Houston Chronicle actually found this place a while after I did and stated that it had the best pizza in the Houston area. The owner was from New York. :D

UNGH!
Come one, come all to visit the city of Pittsburgh. Home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Home of Heinz ketchup. Home of the "hoagie", "pierogie", and "pop".

Come where people speak their own vernacular.

I've counted 30 bridges that cross the river in this beautiful bankrupt city.

But best of all, where can you find a place that turned a church into a brew pub


more later.....

Exactly.

But the key to my comments is that I recognized it as being as good as what I am used to as well. Hence my comments that Toronto pizza is as good as New York pizza.

I am sorry but I will have to disagree with that, now move along sir.
