I really don't get how NYC isn't number 1 on this list. There is way more history in NYC than in Boston. Boston wins if you only consider early American history, but after that NYC wins by a landslide.

Boston played a larger role in American colonial history, Philadelphia played a larger role in American (national) history. There is a fine line between before 1776 and afterwards, although to Philadelphia's credit, the Continental Congresses were at times held there when they met for delegation.

I have no problem giving it credit for the things it should get.

Next up, itll probably win best climate too.
Dude you either need a hobby or desperately need to get laid. I genuinely feel sorry for you.

My top votes would be Philadelphia, Boston, NYC, and DC. I guess you could throw places like Alexandria, VA, Providence, etc or something in there too.
