Since we've had a few polls lately... What are your absolute favorite cities? The ones where someone mentions them on this board or IRL and you wish you could go back right now?
(Inspired by a thread I just very enthusiastically responded to on MM asking for Rome reco's.)

In no order: Shanghai, Montreal, Edinburgh, Barcelona, Chicago, NYC, Washington DC.
I also love Amsterdam, but I think part of that is because it's close to where we are and the people are so much friendlier than where we live that it seems like an escape. If we were visiting from the states I'm not sure it would make my favorite cities list.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. Mark Twain
I love cities. Of places I've lived, Miami. I also love NYC. Of places I've visited, I absolutely fell in love with Lisbon. It has so much old-world charm and beauty, I could wander around forever. On my last trip, I was surprised by how much I liked Milan.
