Oh neat, what did you do in London? How do you keep bias from leaking into ranking New York number one? (Admittedly, New York is amazing. I only got to spend a few days there, but the entire time I was walking around pointing at all the things I didn't have time to do.)

Typical stuff. You know, British Museum, National Museum, London Eye, that sort of thing. I didn't venture off the beaten path. Though what I enjoyed the most were the Victoria & Albert Museum and Hampton Court Palace, which are slightly lesser known attractions.

Hmm, I don't know. But New York has such variety that others cities don't. Like, even though I really liked LA, Houston, and Charleston, what I liked about them was like only one particular thing about them. New York has a lot of things to like.

Awww, poor San Diego. I'd say that about Atlanta. Atlanta's roads and highways can go to hell. Or, more accurately, they are hell.

I put San Diego so low down on the list because I felt like it was a completely uninteresting and uninspiring city. Utterly forgettable.

Also, I really should take Las Vegas off the list. I stayed on the Strip and rarely ventured into the city proper, so it doesn't seem fair to judge it.
