Los Angeles' young and beautiful love to play in New York. Some natives wish they'd stick to their own coast

Actually, you could just change the geography and write the exact same story about rich young New Yorkers in LA, like that "Fabian" "Cattle Drive" dude, or the hordes of Manhattan Ivy League jerks trying to break into the industry. Jerks are jerks. Their hometowns really don't matter. P.S. Lindsay Lohan becomes a Los Angeleno just by living there? What?

sounds like a bunch of high school kids whining about each other. who cares? what happened to writing about real culture?

Guess what? Us Bay Areans think both crowds are a bunch of insufferable douchebags.

"Bay Areans" as subject and "think" as verb = non sequiter.

London. We have these issues, when it's the whole "south of the river" dealio. Gosh, what are they thinking, living all the way down there? Cabs won't take you, you know!

Oh Please, New York is not grittier than L.A. It's a very well known fact that New York is the undisputed safest big city in the entire U.S. and in the world for the past two years in a row (2007-2008). New Yorkers need to stop pretending to be all tough and gangsta. You ain't fooling anybody in L.A.

Dumb article. No there there.

how do you deal with the enormous paradox of claiming angelenos are fake copies looking to retread old stories in a retread story about new yorkers don't like angelenos???

Seriously, enough with how everyone from Los Angeles is rich. Doesn't it cost something like $1000 to rent an unheated shack in Williamsburg?

i have nothing against LA, but this article does hit on some solid points. LAers need to realize that New York is like a can of sardines. LA is spread out, we know each other here, and if you didn't already know, it's not exactly bid thou neighbor hello, new yorkers want to clamor together and represent just as much as our LA counter parts do, and the point is, with the monetary advantages some of these youngsters have it makes it easier for them to take over our neighborhood bars like LIT, anybody remember when lit on mondays was fun? i mean bottom line is this, get off your pedistal (excuse my spelling its early in the morning) and maybe sit down and stop praying to the gods of cool for a second and explore the vast history of new york city nightlife, music, culture, and whatever else the fuck interests you so you can prove your not just another "transfer" nerd trying to flock to a scene of fame loving whores and perpetuating the monotonous dress up game that never ends. What happened to going out and dancing in sweatpants? Just don't fake the funk, bc your nose will gors and remember, without new yorkers you guys would just be another fading scene that attracts the blood sucking new york elite which will inevitable suck you dry. good night.

all the "usurped" new yorkers are kids from omaha and wherever the fuck else who are going after the same mythologized vision of new york. the city is fast becoming a playground for rich kids from all over the country, not just L.A.

What is the obsession that NY has with LA and the people from it? I rarely hear the generalizations and whining coming from the other direction.
