Tampa,fl and Rochester,ny.!

I was just in Rochester a few weeks ago--wow, Lake Ontario is gorgeous!


Also, Pittsford, near Rochester, is one of the prettiest small towns I've ever seen

 

[LyricalDrug]

San Francisco, hands down. We're the number one tourist desination in the U.S. for a reason, ya know!

Austin and Dallas

That's all you need.

Austin is very cool, beautiful, eclectic town. That would be the only city I would move back to Texas for.

Dallas

San Antonio is a beautiful town, at least parts of it is. They do have the lovely River Walk there.

My choices:

Austin, TX
Williamsburg, VA
Washington D.C.
New York City
Charleston, SC
Chicago, IL
Annapolis, MD
Asheville, NC
New Braunfels, TX (because of the Schlitterbahn Waterpark, tubing down the Guadalupe River, kolaches, bear claws and the Gristmill River Restaurant)

Wow. Has anyone been to Boulder? Not many outdoors people here or active people.

 

[gherman]

Portland is pretty also

 

[amerrydeath]

Boston! Of course, mostly because I spend half my waking hours there.

I do love NYC though, everything about it except the Yankees! I haven't been much of anywhere else that I've liked (which includes pretty much Florida, Michigan, Utah and Colorado, but never really any cities).

Where's the favorite cities, period thread?

I'll be biased and say Boston, but also:

Larger cities:

NYC
Philadelphia
San Francisco
Denver
Seattle


Smaller cities:

Burlington, VT
Portland, ME
Portsmouth, NH

Atlanta.

 

[Pop Artist]

New York (well I've lived here all my life so I must like it )
Chicago
San Francisco
Seattle
Miami (although I'm not sure I could live there)
Washington, DC (spent 3 months there on a fellowship)

Naples is a cool smaller city, my parents live there so I've been down there many times. Very laid back and different feel from the east coast of S. Fl.

I didn't spend enough time there to make a full assessment but Lexington, Kentucky was intriguing.

 

[Got Philk?]

Chitown...

 

[Bono's Betty]

Vegas!

 

[Canadiens1131]

NYC
San Fran
Vegas

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

Cancún.

 

[Schmeg]

I loved Newport, Rhode Island too.

I worked there for over three years so it's near and dear to my heart. Lots of great places to go and fun things to do, and an interesting mix of people.

 

[redhotswami]

I heart DC. But not the downtown part, like near the monuments. Up more north is where the magic happens:
Adam's Morgan
Dupont Circle
Cleveland Park

 

[AtomicBono]

New York is amazing. I was only there for two days but I'm in love

Cambridge/Boston is very nice, very clean, very walkable. And iPod/Bose like own the subway systems or something. and I love all the street musicians! Why aren't there street musicians everywhere?

I really love the Twin Cities in MN, especially Minneapolis. And of course I live in Indianapolis, IN. It's not the greatest place but it is my home so I have some affinity for it.

I don't travel that often, but I've been to Philadelphia (live here), New York, Pittsburgh, Washington, Cleveland, Baltimore, and Dallas.

1 - Philadelphia
2 - Washington DC
3 - Pittsburgh
4 - Baltimore
5 - New York
6 - Cleveland
7 - Dallas

BEST: Philadelphia cannot be beat. I love the people here, the way of life, etc.

WORST: Dallas was REALLY boring, there were no places to go, very few places to eat. It has potential: a great rail system that can get you most places, but there just isn't much there. Then again, I visited outside of football season, so there's that.
