I've been going to Philly off and on my whole life, just like NYC (I was born close by and still have family in the area) so I thought maybe I was biased in liking it. My wife had never been to either, so I took her to both just a few years ago. She loved the energy and food of NYC, but she said she actually liked Philly better because she thought it was friendlier and cleaner lol. I just let her think that, personally I think they are on par with each other for those things. After taking her to Gino's and Pat's I did get her to finally admit that Philly Connection and all of the other so called philly cheesesteaks here in ATL were basically no better than dog food, however.
