There is already a huge post about this out there somewhere - might be on the US board. I think they were asking which US cities were world class, and of course lots of answers covered other worldwide cities so it would attempt to answer your question. Was very interesting, and of course opinionated.

I think that I would add Montreal and maybe even Toronto. Although it is a small city and Ive never been there, I have European friends who rave about Santa Fe. The biggest shock to me was meeting a lady born and raised in Paris who told me the loveliest city in the USA is, hands down, Savannah, Georgia!<BR> Oh, I think I would also include Edinburg. <BR>

Peter asked this on the "obsession with Paris" thread. I asked how he could leave NYC off his list.<BR><BR>Today, 05/18 - I went to the Turkish Parade on Madison Avenue then hopped over to 9th Ave + 43rd for the International Food Street Festival (20 blocks long). While there were your standard italian sausage - pad thai - lemonade - funnel cake vendors, there were also numerous "boutique" vendors. I sampled Indonesian lamb satay, Gascony styled frog legs, Greek pastries ( beyond bakalava ), Spanish chorizo, homade Mexican tamales.<BR><BR>Yesterday I went to Jean Georges for lunch then to the Bard Center of Design for a retrospective of modern Swedish design and architecture. In the middle of July the first American retrospective of Zsolnay Hungarian ceramics will open.<BR><BR>Only in NYC....now I'll stop bragging.

Belinda - you're on. I love SF - the belvederes and vistas are beautiful. I'm always looking for others to explore NYC with - many of my NYC friends don't travel beyond a 4 block radius of their apartment. There are days when I don't venture out of the neighborhood but now that the weather is getting nice and with my metro gold card I'm all over the city. Just got in from seeing Monsoon Wedding so I might go out to Jackson Heights tomorrow and wander around the Indian markets or maybe over to Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn for some Middle Eastern.
