NYC..I Love. I moved to chicago after sometime while I stayed in NYC. Chicago is a great place too but after being in NY its no where comparable. I miss NY.. :(
I always loved San Francisco. It has everything for everybody. I lived near there for as long as I could afford it, then moved East to retire.
It depends what taste you have. In Most places, people say that the best cities, are the capitals. Take an adventure and explore!!!
