   Cultural market.  It doesn't produce much.

   I'll give you that.   
      
   > fashion,   
      
   Paris, Milan   
      
   > retail,   
      
   Back to the money, NYC is on firm ground   
      
   > trade   
      
   Chicago   
      
   > music,   
      
   You have to be kidding me.  Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans and Los   
   Angeles beat NYC for pop music, and half the cities in Europe have   
   better symphonies.   
      
   > arts,   
      
   They may not know much about art, but they know what they like.  The NYC   
   art market has perpetrated some of the most wretched fads in the history   
   of art.  If you are talking about museums, let me introduce you to the   
   Louvre or the Prado.   
      
   > real estate,   
      
   ROFL.  High priced squalor, but Tokyo has NYC beat there.   
      
   > cuisine,   
      
   They may not know much about food, but they know what they like.  NYC   
   restaurants are like NYC cab drivers.   
      
   > theatre,   
      
   London.  NYC usually gets the second run, though.   
      
   > media & communications capital of the world!   
      
   NYC has a few network offices.  Most of the content comes from Los   
   Angeles.
