Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2886839, member: 1414"] This is ridiculous in the extreme. Boston has long been my favorite city, but you know what, it is beginning to lose that designation. Over development, too many skyscrapers going up, traffic has gotten worse, as has parking. NY has long been my least favorite city, can't stand to be there for more than a few hours really. Sao Paulo claimed #1 on that list from NY due to the extreme crime. The reality is that Boston is growing too rapidly, becoming more like NY and losing the charm. [U]I will agree with you that Chicago is the best of the "very large" U.S. cities[/U]. But generally, smaller cities offer more. Nobody needs to go to museums often, or the ballet, or the opera. That stuff exists for tourists. It doesn't impact people's day to day lives. Boston has nice museums, the MFA is superb, the science museum is great for kids, and the BSO and Pops are very good. Theater is "off Broadway", which is what you get in any major U.S. city that isn't NY. No different than Chicago or LA. I have no interest in 5* restaurants. I want a good local pizza place and a burrito/taco joint. If I had to pick a favorite right now it would probably be Ediburgh, but they really need to do better picking up trash. Savannah, Georgia is great, and Charleston, SC though it is getting expensive. New Orleans is wonderful except for the crime and humidity. It has food and music that I can actually eat an enjoy. My weekend nights out are best enjoyed if I'm wearing shorts or jeans. If I need a sports coat or God-forbid, a tie, I am not enjoying myself. [/QUOTE]
