We have a thread about the worst US cities - What are the best?
 

What would GFY's TOP 5 cities in the US be?

I am determined to spend some time over there before I die....

No Pre-Reqs really - It would be nice if it was friendly - After all this time in London I would like to talk to people I meet...

New York City

I thought it was as bad if not worse than London for being unfriendly?

nyc is kick ass to visit, i've gone often and found the peeps there just fine. i've chatted with others about this idea that new yorkers are unfriendly and we think it's because people there are in a hurry. visitors aren't so much so it gets misinterpreted, could be wrong, just a coffee shop theory.

According to Business Week, San Franscico:

I always think the smaller cities are the best.

I really like where I live. All of the modern conveniences with small town charm, off of a main freeway, low crime rate, and close enough to the "big city" (Sacramento) so we can still do things which can only be done in the city.

oh so.

nyc
washington dc
miami
new orleans
newport beach

Of the dozen or so I've visited.
my top 3
Boston
New York
San Francisco

Pittsburgh is always near the top for best places to live.

I always have fun in Seattle when I head down there. Great food and coffee, lots to do if you enjoy the outdoors. The parks around Washington state are amazing.

Seattle rocks
:thumbsup

You've been misinformed. I grew up in London and have lived in, and frequently visit, NYC; and New York is friendlier than London, IMHO. That may not have been the case 30 years ago, but times change.

America's Friendliest Cities according to the Today Show (in 2008 - update maybe?):

San Antonio, Texas
Nashville, Tennessee
Denver, Colorado
Davis, Colorado
Madison, Wisconsin

According to that list my city is #5. Not bad. I agree with them that Portland is a good place to live, but I don't agree with San Fran being #1. I have visited their twice and both times I couldn't wait to leave.

Total myth.

My three favorite cities are on that list.

The best US cities are in Australia :error

i liked Phoenix

I cant afford Australia - Seriously.....

If I could afford it I would be typing this from Airlie Beach....

People are much nicer in the South. Seems everyone has an attitude in the North.

I've been visiting Denver a lot recently and really like it. I have only been hanging around downtown though.

In no particular order these are my favorite US cities:

Virginia Beach VA
Raleigh NC
Denver Colorado
New Orleans
Tampa / Clearwater
"Napa Valley" Area
Austin Texas
New York
Portland
Minneapolis
Charlexoix MI
Pittsburgh
St. Paul, Minnesota
San Diego
San Francisco
Charleston, SC

Are people joking with NY?

I love NYC. Heading there on Thurs for a long weekend.

lol Police State NY. WoW

funny 15 years ago few would have said new york, but it's come a LONG way. New york is awesome now.

I like ft lauterdale, san deigo, seattle, new york and grand forks - mostly cause it's close to drive to from where I live
