New York or Los Angeles?

**dig**

Much as I love my home city, If you want a very authentic american experience I'd say NYC.
More tour areas, alternatively LA does have quite a bit to offer.

LA If you want a more relaxed chill vacation just kinda sitting back and enjoying the city, heading to some small tourist areas.
Lots of people everywhere aswell but not nearly as big as NYC.

Small little nice places to eat like this (My favorite restaraunt) make the trip there enjoyable for me.

Spoiler :

Depending if you have kids with you or not, Disneyland is always something to look into in the LA area.

I'm not from NYC, this is only what I've heard so I'm not entirely sure.

NYC Huge as F, tons of people everywhere, you will enjoy the sites and the city is bedazzling but don't expect parking and there are people everywhere,
you might get a tad stressed trying to reserve stuff and getting to the tour spots at the right time.
