Favorite American city?

I personally love Boston. I have been to New York city a few times but I always find it a bit overwhelming. I also quite like Raleigh. North Carolina. I have been told by friends that Chicago, and Minneapolis are great cities too.

LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA. SUBLIME. SNOOP DOGG. PALM TREES.

As a Bostonian I have to say Boston.

the coolest one is probably NYC

boston, orlando, philly, and chicago are honorable mentions :P

Carson City.

This is a pretty hard question to answer. I might not be able to decide in the end. Here are a few candidates though:

• Houston, Texas-- I moved here fourteen years ago, but I would never have chosen it willingly. Yet, as soon as I got here I fell in love with the city. The biggest reason is that the downtown Theatre district is one of the best in the country, including the Houston Grand Opera, one of the largest commisioners of new operatic works in the world and hosting one of the most important opera academies, Houston Ballet, one of the finest ballet production companies and ballet acadamies in the United States, the Houston Symphony and the Alley Theatre, which is one of the last resident theatre companies of this size and scope. The other reason though is related to my work -- this is a city full of opportunities for tech savvy individuals.
• San Antonio, Texas -- I love the river walk district and the distinct Mexican-American flavor that permeates the entire city. Additionally, much of the city is a snapshot of times past due to the policy that old buildings must be recycled rather than demolished.
• New York, New York -- I can't say enough about the great times I've had in this city. When I first visited in 1991 it was a pretty dangerous place to be really, but in the time since then it has been cleaned up and transformed into a city I feel entirely safe in. Hence a visitor gets to benefit from most that the city has to offer without fearing for his safety.
• San Francisco, California -- I admit I would never want to live there, but I do enjoy visiting. My job gives me a few opportunities a year to go there due to offices at San Jose and Sunnyvale.
• Seattle, Washington -- I haven't been here often, and there are a lot of things to hate about this area (not the last of which is the god-awful traffic in and out of the city), but I love the constant rain (yep, I love it), and the heavy supply of coffee shops. The city's aesthetic draws me in.

I'd love to put Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on there as well. I love visiting for the historical sites and the cheesesteak. Unfortunately, I hate the other aspects of that city enough to make me feel a bit dishonest for listing it as a favorite.

Only one I go to is Newark. Which I do tend to enjoy my time there fastesttruck

I really havent been to very many big cities, sadly enough. I love Chicago though and would like to visit NY, LA, SF, OK City and Austin.

I live in Ohio and have been to all the big cities here. I live an the Dayton/ Cinci area. They're kind of crappy but I love them from growing up here. Covington is pretty cool...feels a little bit like part of Cinci to me.

It's funny how the bridge leading from Cinci to Kentucky (Covington) is such an accent boarder.

I hate cities..

I like it quiet and where the people are friendly. Boise, ID for me. Had a great time there.

I've been to most of the major cities and I have to say that my favorite is the one I've grown up in, Seattle. I've also found a general consensus of other backpackers/travellers I've met who've been through there also put it as the one city in America they'd love to settle down and live in.

So maybe it's not neccesarily the best city for a weekend getaway or tourism, but overall liveability is pretty decent

New York City and New Orleans are tied for me.

San Francisco is a great place to visit, I wouldn't live there though.

i have not been to very many cities at all, so out of the ones i have experience with, i'm gonna go with.... Panama City, Florida :D

San Francisco is a great place to visit, I wouldn't live there though.

I don't do a lot of travelling or anything so I dunno. But I do know St Louis is a poophole

Boston, Massachusetts. 8)

Cheyenne, Wyoming.

It's adorable because it's trying to be a big city even though it's in Wyoming, so it's totally impossible to be a big city.

San Antonio hands down.

also really like Chicago, and Minniapolis

I love San Diego! :D LA is way overrated.

Charlotte, North Carolina

QC STAND UP :D

I agree with those who said Boston

I'd probably say San Francisco, but I havn't been there in over a decade. Miami is alright; there is certainly a lot to do but I hate driving down there. I like Ft. Lauderdale a bit more than Miami, it's like an abreviated version and I prefer Las Olas to South Beach. Orlando has come a long way from it's theme park roots and it's not a bad place to live from what I hear. Atlanta is probably the largest city I've been to and while I liked the outer laying suburbs, the city itself wasn't as peachy (pun intended). Denver is really nice, but it's just too quiet for it's size. San Antonio has a great mall but I've never been as cold as I was there.

I think that wraps up all the cities that left an impression on me. I've lived in Florida for most my life so I'd say that the whole South Florida area is my favorite since an exotic vacation is never too far away.
