Houston (#4) is the largest city that I have never been to. I have changed planes at both IAH and Hobby but I have never stepped out of the airport.

Spent a lot of time in NYC.  
Spent one night in Los Angeles.  
Grew up in Chicago.  
Spent one night in Houston.  
Been to Philadelphia on a number of occasions.  
Changed plans in the Phoenix airport.

I guess it’s San Antonio.

Huh, I thought I replied to this.

The answer depends on how you define “city.” If you mean a municipal government’s boundaries, I have never been in Surrey, BC, which is a suburb of Vancouver.

If you mean a city, e.g. an urban agglomeration - most people would think of Surrey as being generally part of “Vancouver” - I believe it’s Sherbrooke, QC. I have been to almost all Canadian cities of _any_ significant size, but not Sherbrooke.

I have not seen New York City. That is one place I have yet to visit.
