In a new installment in the eternal New York City versus San Francisco comparisons, the folks behind a new app have compiled some interesting data on the habits of our fair city. The info comes from Chronos, an app that runs in the background on your phone and keeps tabs on everything you're doing so that you can make snazzy infographics about your life (nope, not creepy at all, move along folks).
In a blog post by Business Insider, Chronos compared San Franciscans and New Yorkers on sleep habits and dining and drinking practices, and found that San Franciscans are generally, weirdly just better than New Yorkers. Just kidding! But they did find that SF denizens who used their app get up earlier and head directly to the bars on weekend mornings, which we think shows a remarkable sense of poise.
In terms of sleep, San Franciscans get up and about, on the whole, earlier than New Yorkers (10% of whom don't get up on weekends until after 11am). This could be due to the portion of SF's workforce that lives by East Coast hours, or we could just be more eager to get to yoga class on time. Observe:
San Franciscans tend to spend their nights out, dive bars, "latin" places and their friend's houses figured big, while New Yorkers defaulted more to cocktail lounges and Italian food. And when it comes to weekends, we head directly to coffeeshops, bars and parks, while New Yorkers universally seem to hit restaurants hard. Maybe they don't have to wait as long for brunch as their compatriots out West.
