What is your favorite U.S. city?

Although I love my home in Washington D.C., and I believe D.C. isa wonderful city my favorite is without a doubt San Francisco. I really liked this city a lot when I visited it. It has every single thing a person could want in a city(history, skyscrapers, great neighbourhoods, nightlife, waterfront, clean enviroment, great location, nice weather, etc........)

San Francisco



What is your favorite city in the U.S.A?

Boston/San Francisco tie. Other cities may be bigger and more impressive, but these have such an incredible overall mix.

Everyone always picks the big cities.

I'll say Duluth. Also because it's the only US City I've been too. And it is a really good example of what America can be. Without a doubt the most interesting city on Lake Superior.

My favorite cities are chicago and San Diego. Chicago is the most 'american' big city in america I think--i always tell foreign friends to go there if they really want to experience america. And who doesnt love San Diego--it's amazing.
