Favourite US Cities
Edit- ok, I guess the thread is ok to post here.
I was going to say my favourite city is Rapid City and Deadwood in South Dakota in the summer. The Black Hills, the Badlands, Crazy Horse.. just beautiful.
I am going to San Francisco for the first time in June and looking forward to it.
Second favourite on my list is Seattle. Then, I have to admit I do love Boulder, even though the Colorado Avalanche suck used blow pops.
Hate:
Houston (live here, ugh)
Phoenix
Albuquerque
Everywhere in Texas except Austin and one restaurant in Amarillo

San Diego. Love the pace, love the beaches, love the breweries (Ballast Point), love the Gaslamp, love the weather... and love the variety of fighter planes always buzzing the area.

Funnest Street in America anyway.
My favorite city is Boston moreso for the history than anything else.

Been to 22 states and a large portion of the major cities in the U.S., New Orleans is my favourite for sure. Freaking love that city so much. Seattle is also very cool. San Fran is beautiful and has a shockingly massive downtown skyline, like eastern seaboard style.
As a state, Tennessee really surprised me. Drove through the entirety of the state and loved it from start to finish.
Major U.S. cities I haven't been to that I hear are cool: Chicago, San Diego, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Boston.

Looooooooooooooch

New Orleans. And that's only because it doesn't feel like a regular US city.
Boston is pretty cool as well.

Chicago is #1 for me. Denver is really fun. New Orleans was really good but a bit underwhelming for me. Just really depends on what youre looking for.

Didn’t think San Fran was that great. But most American cities aren’t IMO.
I like New Orleans the best though.

I’m heading there in two weeks! Absolutely thrilled. Everything I’ve heard says it’s a lot of fun.
As for top US Cities.
NYC is unreal. So much to see and do. Museums, broadway shows, sports, concerts, history.
I think Philly is a great city as well.
Chicago is amazing.
L.A. is a dump but Venice beach and surrounding areas are cool.
Boston is cool but full of people from Boston unfortunately.
Portland is really cool. Breweries, coffee, donuts, food!

Nashville, Houston and New Orleans. The food is amazing in all 3 places too as an added bonus.

Just got back from San Antonio. LOVED it. Way more than I thought I would. It has excellent dining and lots to do (culture/history, including a UNESCO World Heritage Site). People were super friendly. I’d recommend it to anyone.

Austin is an amazing place to visit, especially if you have a friend from there to act as your guide (I highly recommend that part). The food is amazing, there's always some type of event going on, there's lots of cool hikes, the live music is second to none, and the vibe is very un-Texas.
The beer and booze scene is really jumping nowadays too.
And it's still the best place in America to live.
