Chicago. It's why I moved here. Like my grandpa says, "Chicago's got everything New York's got except the attitude." Lol. Not quite true but like all good jokes there is a grain of truth in it.

But don't visit between November and May. Well, the Christmas season is kind of cool. But dress warm.

San Fran if I want to go out and do things. It has your typical touristy things to do such as Alcatraz, Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge etc, it has historical places such as the Mission and the El Presidio, it has amazing food and culture (love China town) and the seafood is amazing. It is a short drive to the wine areas (Napa and Sonoma) as well as breweries (Russian River, Lagunitas, etc) and it is a town that is easy to get around in with public transportation.

Now if I want to visit a city to just veg, then it is San Diego. Go stay at the beach, drink great beer and eat lots of amazing fish tacos right at the beach (plus some really good burgers and pizza).

San Diego... The Gas Lamp, Old Town, PERFECT Weather, fantastic food and culture... I haven't really enjoyed many other major cities.

Austin was great too in fairness... but for the most part I dislike most major cities I've been to... Denver, LA, St Louis and San Fran. to name a few...

For not liking LA, I do enjoy the LA/Orange beach cities from about Redondo on down to Newport, Long Beach is a cool, diverse, city I guess... Seal Beach is great, though always massively crowded... Korea Town in LA is always fun, though don't be there at night...

Yes, Boston is pretty awesome. Best Italian food I've ever had. I really enjoyed riding around in the trolly to see all the historic sites. And yes, of course there is Fenway!!

Baltimore. It's a screwed up town but it's perfect for me. I love the food, the water, and how unpretentious it is compared to its neighbor D.C.

Never been but my brother and sister in law live there and they seem to love it... They've never once been to Camden Yards though, can you believe that??

I really like Chicago and Pittsburgh. I definitely want to get out to NYC, Boston, and LA. I was in Dallas last August, it's too damn hot out there for me.

There are so many cities that I love. I live in Chicago, I have a lot of family in NYC, I have family in London. I love all 3 of those cities in a unique way. But my all time favorite, and the city I eventually want to move to, is Sydney. Its the perfect amount of Laid back, with a European Metro feel. Everyone should go there if they have they chance. I promise it wont disappoint.

San Diego perfect weather year round. A lot slower pace than LA. I really enjoyed Charlotte as well. There was some great restaurants.

That's nuts. They have to go. I used to date a girl whose brother-in-law was a major league pitcher at the time we were dating. He said Camden Yards is the favorite park a lot of guys because it's so beautiful. You should tell them to check a game out.

In terms of big cities, New Orleans, and not because of Bourbon Street. I've been there a ton, and you just can't beat the music, food and lifestyle. If you like history, the town is full of it, and a few nights on Frenchman Street will make you a believer.

For some reason, Austin doesn't seem like a big city to me, but if it counts, then that'd be my bet. Great food and live music, a young, progressive scene, and it's just hard not to have a good time down there.

I loved Sydney when I was there, granted I was 13. Reps

Currently in the Bay Area visiting the girlfriend. Have to say that San Francisco is a beautiful city. It had a much more laid back feel than any of the other cities I have been to. Didn't really do much in San Fran, but would definitely like to explore more some day.
