I’ll second Dingle.  
Toronto.  
Florence has some total babes, so it’s good for people watching.  
Munchin wins. Beer. Naked park. Friendly people. Beer. And beer too.

I can’t choose between Sydney and Melbourne. They’re both great, but in completely different ways. I don’t understand the rivalry.

I liked Brisbane, but it’s too hot to share the number one position.

I’ve only been to two foreign cities: Port Vila and Noumea, but they didn’t compare to Sydney or Melbourne. It was interesting to see foreign cities, though.

I can’t wait til the day I can go to NYC.

**mwap’s** joke is that Dingle is a tiny, tiny little town, verging on being a village. What we over here call a city is a conurbation. I think that should be the criterion for this thread.

Best American East Coast City: BOSTON w/ side trips to the Cape and Maine.

Best American West Coast City: SAN FRAN w/side trips in every direction.

Best American City between both coast: NEW ORLEANS

Best Rural Area in America: VERMONT

Worst American City: It’s a tie between Miami and Atlanta, but ATLANTA wins because is has no palm trees and no ocean.
