N.Y., Chicago, San Fran, and Boston from all the ones I saw. Never been to L.A.

One that I want to put on the list so it get mentioned also is Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has great churches, the cathedral of learning, and great modern buildings too.

None of the above. The world has a serious creative block. All cities look either decrepit, or fakey' modern.

I think Cleveland and Chicago have the best architecture out of the cities I've been too.My favorite architecture is in the Midwest and Northeast.

Chicago first, Boston second.

Chicago famous for its Chicago School of Architecture. Notable architecture by Mies van der Rohe and Helmut Jahn, and pioneers Frank Lloyd Wright, William LeBaron Jenney, Louis Sullivan.
As well as, birthplace to the skyscraper.

I'd pick Washington D.C. Sure a lot of the buildings are old but still have some interesting style. Then there is all the great monuments to see.

I agree with these all, but I won't let us forget Detroit. The city has the largest collection of pre-war skyscrapers behind New York and Chicago. Tulsa is also renowned for its Art Deco buildings. Columbus, Ind., has alot of municipal and public buildings which have been designed by notable architects.

Chicago architecture is featured on CNN.

Travel News - Vacations, Destinations, and Video from CNN.com
Chicago: Tracing modern architecture - CNN.com
Chicago: Tracing modern architecture - CNN.com

The cities that have the best architecture in the US are Chicago, DC, New York, Philly and Boston. However, I am drawn to Chicago & D.C more.
