Paris or NYC?

After time spent travelling between two of the most beloved cities in the world, Parisian graphic designer Vahram Muratyan decided to pitch them against each other and his blog, Paris vs. New York was born. His collection of insightful, witty illustrations exploring the parallels and paradoxes of the two metropolises has now been turned into a book, "Paris versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities," featuring 106 of his genius observations. Here's a sneak peek at the seriously stylish coffee table material.
