I have a personal rule of thumb when it comes to location-based entertainment:Books set in LA are better than books set in NYC. Movies set in NYC are better than movies set in LA. There are a few reasons for my rationale. First is LA is (generally) the land of filmmaking, and NYC is (generally) the land of publishing, so when you’re making art that doesn’t coincide with the prevailing regional medium, the results are going to be more compelling. Cinematically, New York just looks better on film.
