NYC
Chicago
Los Angeles
*San Francisco
*Washington DC
*Philadelphia
*Boston

*Any of these cities are good fits for 4 & 5...the United States truly has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to great cities in diverse regions.

I know what you mean. I just don't feel that Chicago is on the same level of greatness as LA.

Minneapolis seems to fit into all of these categories. We have a good location but just no large cities within a reasonable driving distance (even though that's not really that big of a deal)
But we have great education, skyline, parks, transportation, good cost of living and major airport
