    NYC is okay, but too impersonal and busy for me to want to be there very long.

    I LOVED Rome. And Vienna.

    In the US......I'm leaning towards San Francisco, 'though I could've used more time to explore.

    And to xprettyreckle.....Never been to Graz, but from pictures I've seen (one of my good friends is from Vienna, but travels throughout the country for work) it looks beautiful. Heck, the entire country looks beautiful!

    From my own (limited) experience.

    Paris, Quebec City and Venice for food.

    Cleveland and Toronto for live music.

    Geographical beauty, Vancouver.

    I can't even answer this. I can tell you that I dislike Phoenix Arizona. A LOT.

    I love Paris and Avignon in France.

    I grew up in York, England and love it there, beautiful city.

    I've only been to the US once but I thought San Francisco was amazing.

    All Hands and Feet down for Havana, Cuba: and all of that beautiful island/country! Between the grand slums of that city, to the artsy Obispo Street, to the Maleco along the north, to the quaint fishing villages on the Caribbean, to the resorts on Varadero beach, to the cigar making factories, or the prestigious clinics, Cuba wins!

    Best city i've ever visited was Las Vegas. Not a huge gambler or anything, but it was so energetic and alive! Compared to the boringness of my everyday life, it was a good time.

    Probably couldnt live there, but definitely fun to visit.

    Well from my limited experience Vienna is lovely. Coulda spent a month there instead of 6 days. For US Chicago rocks. Been to NYC many times, don't like it. Seattle was nice but only been there a couple weekends. Lived in Boston for 25 years, screw that give me Chicago, better food, better people, lot more fun. Still want to go to New Orleans :P

    Tell us the favorite city you've ever visited or lived in and why you love it.

    Aside from my beloved Chicago, I loved Portland the best. Why? Ever seen Portlandia?? It's exaggerated, of course, but it really is a hippy, artsy, coffee house cool place...with great food and culture. Also, I am a fan of rainy days.
    PS. Friend me if you like.
    Which Portland ?
    Portland, Oregon

    I adore Charlotte, NC. I'm from Ct originally, moved south, and adore Charlotte. Maybe it's because it's full of Yanks like me, but it's a great city. Beautiful, awesome people, tons of things to do, historic, and I just love it!!

    Chardon, Ohio! It is an absolutely adorable town, that feels quite home-y. Luckily, it's my husbands hometown, so we get to visit often (we live in San Antonio).

    Aw, you've heard of Graz?! That's amazing - usually nobody even knows it exists.
    But yeah, Austria is beautiful! :) I miss it a lot right now!

    Indianapolis! I LOVE the city so much! The people are nice; the shopping is awesome. I love the atmosphere and how the city feels alive. It's art-lover friendly. The surrounding area is great, and I do love the college campuses. Although I live 30-45 minutes from Chicago, I would rather spend 2-3 hours on the road to get to my favorite city for a fun, lively weekend. :)

    New Orleans. It's one of the oldest cities in the US but it's constantly renewing itself. So many different cultures come together: Cajun, Creole, French, southern American, etc. It's dark, artsy, mysterious. Coffeehouses on every corner. A vampire store next to a cathedral. I just love the richness, the contrast, the irony.

    On the other hand, been to Las Vegas, and meh. :yawn:

    Boston pride all the way! We got everything here. Boston is close to the beach, to the mountains where you can ski, even close to the country if you like farms & ****. It's got the best bars. Fantastic food. Great night life. And some of the best colleges in the country. Plus 4 sports teams and 7 championships in the last 10 years is pretty fantastic as well. And there's a loyaility to our city and sports team that's unparalleled to many other cities. Also Boston is full of history and so many different types of neighborhoods (south end, north end, backbay, dot, JP) now if only the damn T didn't close at 1 AM while and the bars at 2...

    No love for London? Well I'll step up! Adore it. Everything in central is in walking distance and that, or atop a routemaster, is the best way to see it. Still stumbling across hidden gems of architecture that are sufficient to stop me in my tracks. And the approach of turning ruined churches into gardens creates some of the most tranquil pockets of greenery, a stone's throw from main roads.

    Hyde Park is rubbish though, I'll give you that.

    Berlin - it's different every time you go, so much to do and so much history. I never get bored of going there.

    I've been to Graz, admittedly I was only passing through on my way to Romania. Would have liked to spend more time there - it looked like a great place.
