Best BIG City to Live In

<p>NYC all the way! It’s just awesome here. Your never bored. You can go shopping on Fifth Ave. in Manhattan, or go watch a Yankees game in Bronx, or go to the Coney Island to enjoy some rides & walk on the boardwalk in Brooklyn, or catch a movie on Jamaica Avenue in Queens. There’s so much to do! I was born and raised here & i dont plan on ever leaving =]</p>

<p>London, Dublin and Chicago are my three favorite cities in the world.</p>

<p>I love all those cities. I love Chi-town. DC is where I’m from, Boston is my future home, and I love both Pennsylvania cities. And also, THE NYC!!</p>

<p>Out of the three, New York (actually considering all five of its counties) for folks that actually have a fair amount of money.</p>

<p>^^ I LOVE Boston too but it’s not big enough to qualify as a BIG (note the caps) city.</p>

<p>^ True true. I might get to see my aunt there. If I majored in her field I could work under her up there.</p>

<p>I think this thread has a sort of East Coast/ Mid-Atlantic bias. What happened to the midwest/south/west coast love?</p>

<p>^ The west coasters aren’t on until later tonight. Expect there to be a heavy West Coast bias in 3 hours.</p>

<p><em>is from west coast</em></p>

<p>Based on visits to family members:</p>

<p>San Francisco is an expensive place to live in or shop in (except maybe Chinatown), but has great food. One should get used to hobos, though. Farmers’ markets abound. Rains a lot, windy a lot, but rarely snows.</p>

<p>Boston - “Very college town”. Doesn’t feel as big city-ish as SF. Lots of museums. Changing colors on leaves in October-ish here (actually anywhere in New England) are breathtaking.</p>

<p>Both have great architecture, though I haven’t been to enough cities to tell if they all do anyway.</p>

<p>To bring up a topic from like page 5-6, I think Canada’s pretty cool.</p>

<p>NYC it seems like some people haven’t been to all of NYC (meaning all five boroughs) NYC is not just Manhatten. Brooklyn and Queens is a great place to go in NYC. It has a home feeling with a big city touch, and its the culture area of the city. </p>

<p>NYC is the best city to live in from the list you gave. Why do you think its called the greatest city in the world.</p>

<p>Boston Seattle or Vancouver :]</p>

<p>No one vouches for Los Angeles??!</p>

<p>^uhh no. The city of LA itself is a piece of ****. Seattle is undeniably the best city in the US to live in.</p>

<p>^arguable. Think about the weather. Other than that though its pretty sick :P</p>

<p>I vouch for San Diego. Besides LA I don’t want to deal with the crazies there. As long as no one says Compton.</p>

<p>My favourite city in the world is Compton! :smiley: Its so nice and green and luscious. With its rolling hills and hobbit holes. There is no evidence of any crime there.</p>

<p>But Los Angeles…isn’t it one of THE BEST cities in the world??</p>

<p>DC FTW! Having grown up here, it’s just awesome. If you’ve never visited, you have to come at least once.</p>

<p>During the summer, you get on the Metro (really quiet in the 12-1 slot), go down to Foggy Bottom and just walk. There’s always free art expos and music shows, cultural events, you name it.</p>

<p>All that historical stuff is fun as well, you going to see the monuments, appreciate the architecture.</p>

<p>Sooner or later you’ll come across a university maybe Georgetown or George Washington, where you can get a taste of the college culture (there’s a bunch of free stuff there too).</p>

<p>And then you’ll hit old town where there’s cobble streets and EXCELLENT malls.</p>

<p>After like 8 hours of fun you’ll get back on the metro (At this point it’s so crowded that your standing with your face pressed to the window) and come home.</p>

<p>Things you might see: Senate meetings if you’re into that, political rallies with free stuff, the best orators in the nation, a bunch of people from different countries (the cafes are stocked with European people). Everything’s eclectic!</p>

<p>Could there be a better day?</p>

<p>If you can’t already tell, I’m WAYYY biased:)</p>
