Does any city on the globe top New York City? (Seriously, our city has come out on top against so many of 'em: London, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami...) 

And that very question was the one of the driving forces behind Vahram Muratyan's blog-turned-novel, Paris versus New York. 

Muratyan is a Parisian graphic designer who juxtaposed simple images comparing New York City and Paris culture-- essentially pitting these international powerhouses against one another.

Now, all that being said and done, the members of Nord Collective, a super-talented design firm here in NYC, were big fans of Muratyan's book and created an quirky, eye-catching animated version of it all, which you can watch below.
