h2babe - Chicago is great even with a bad paying job (like mine), you just have to get used to small apartments ;)

Regarding historical sites, Washington DC, Richmond and New York.

Top three that come to mind: Philadelphia, Washington D.C. amd New York.

Philadelphia is underrated. It has great history, at least as much as Boston, great old neighborhoods that are good for walking, top-notch and affordable restaurants, and lots of entertainment.

I rarely tire of visiting D.C., and New York's a fun trip, although I'm never sorry to leave the city either.

Savannah and Charleston are very nice but I don't feel a great desire to return anytime soon.

This is an East Coast-heavy list, but I haven't been to California in a long time. I did like San Francisco when I was there as a kid and elsewhere in northern California when I was a kid.

A word about Texas. Austin ain't what it used to be but it's a fine city. I'm a native Houstonian. It may seem awful, but there's a warmth there you can't get just anywhere, and I don't know that that's just because it's "home" to me. There are also excellent museums and restaurants. Check out www.houstonitsworthit.com.

Some of Texas' small cities or rural places are great fun. The Hill Country is gorgeous, bluebonnets in the spring are the best, and Galveston is a nice little beach town, if you happen to be in the area.

As a visitor:

Honorable mention- it has yet to be mentioned- to my home town where I often still feel like a visitor after nearly 5 years (that's a good thing)
-Denver

Hmmm . . . if I could only visit 3 cities in the future? I guess I would break it down by time of year:

(1) Juneau in the summer;
(2) Montpelier in the fall;
(3) Honolulu in the winter.

There may be nicer, smaller, towns in each state, but I kinda limited myself to the capitals to make sure it was a real "city."

I haven't yet visited NYC, but I know it tops everyone's list.

1. San Fran- just beautiful!
2. New Orleans- you feel like you are in another country, but so unique. I hope they rebuild it to its past glory because it was awesome.
3. Boston- So much history and also very beautiful.

1) Grand Canyon, Arizona
2) Las Vegas, Nevada
3) DC, LA, SF, or NY

1.) New York City
2.) Washington, D.C.
3.) Las Vegas, baby!

How sad that New Orleans was mentioned so many times on this thread, and now I wonder when we'll ever get to go back and enjoy it. (I'm from that area, I miss it *sigh*).

1. Washington D.C.
2.Las Vegas,NV
3. New York, NY
Salt Lake City and Philadelphia are other good ones in my opinion.

I suspect many of our Canadian friends will be surprised to learn from this thread that Quebec and Montreal are cities in the USA.

My three favorites are:
Washington DC
San Diego
Seattle
and a close 4th, San Diego

A foreigner's perspective:

followed by New Orleans. We also liked Charleston. Didn't make it to Chicago, though, and saw little of Los Angeles.
