NEW YORK VS CHICAGO - New York
HOUSTON VS DALLAS - Can't say
WASHINGTON D.C VS BALTIMORE - Baltimore. Love its neighborhoods
BOSTON VS PHILADELPHIA - Tough, tough tough. I love to visit Boston but would probably prefer living in Philadelphia
HARTFORD VS PROVIDENCE - Providence, more to do than Hartford
CLEVELAND VS MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee (assumption)
ALBUQUERQUE VS SAN ANTONIO - Can't say
DENVER VS PORTLAND, OR - Probably Denver. I just get the feeling Portland is overrated (never been though)
SAN FRANCISCO VS SEATTLE - San Francisco
SAN DIEGO VS TAMPA - Definitely San Diego
SAN JOSE VS PHOENIX - Never been to Phoenix, but would probably pick San Jose anyway
INDIANAPOLIS VS MINNEAPOLIS - Minneapolis, but mostly because of St. Paul.
CINCINNATI VS PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh, though I like Cincy too.
SALT LAKE CITY VS BOISE - No idea
MIAMI VS LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles
ATLANTA VS MEMPHIS - Never been to Memphis, but I'll vote Atlanta and assume it's more fun
ST. LOUIS VS KANSAS CITY, MO - Can't say. Probably St. Louis
NEW ORLEANS VS NASHVILLE - New Orleans. I don't care too much for country music or Jesus.
DETROIT VS BUFFALO - Detroit
CHARLOTTE VS AUSTI - Austin. I really don't like Charlotte. I feel that Austin is probably a bit overrated though (I've never been).
New York
Houston
DC
Boston
Providence
Milwaukee?
Denver?
San Francisco
San Diego
San Jose
Minneapolis
Pittsburgh
Salt Lake city vs. Boise (Don't know)
Atlanta
Los Angeles
St. Louis
New Orleans
Detroit
Austin
Of this list I would say the most tension lies between NYC and Chicago, with Houston and Dallas 2nd. Though I think the one not listed that would win is NYC vs. Boston. There are some mismatches.

Hi, everyone. Here are my choices in this 'War of the Cities'.
NEW YORK VS CHICAGO - Chicago, hands down. Plus, I've got to have a deep-dish pizza.
HOUSTON VS DALLAS - Houston. It's close to the beach and no zoning. Sorry, Dallas.
WASHINGTON D.C. VS BALTIMORE - Baltimore. Crab cakes.
BOSTON VS PHILADELPHIA - Boston. Great lobster. Fenway.
HARTFORD VS PROVIDENCE - I'll guess Providence.
CLEVELAND VS MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee. Cheese and great German food.
ALBUQUERQUE VS SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio. There's a ton of history in this classic Texas city.
DENVER VS PORTLAND, OR - Denver. And preferably in the summertime.
SAN FRANCISCO VS SEATTLE - Believe it or not, Seattle. They have Mt. Rainier.
SAN DIEGO VS TAMPA - San Diego. The nation's best weather.
SAN JOSE VS PHOENIX - Phoenix. I just love desert landscapes.
INDIANAPOLIS VS MINNEAPOLIS - Minneapolis. And preferably in the summertime.
CINCINNATI VS PITTSBURGH - Cincinnati. Just seems a little better.
SALT LAKE CITY VS BOISE - Boise. Great mountain scenery intrigues me.
MIAMI VS LOS ANGELES - Miami. Besides, I'd like to see beaches with white sands.
ATLANTA VS MEMPHIS - Memphis. Elvis. Beale Street. Need I say more?
ST. LOUIS VS KANSAS CITY, MO - Kansas City. Barbecue. At least, I'm willing to try theirs.
NEW ORLEANS VS NASHVILLE - Nashville. Love country music and its proud history. But I also like Cajun food, too. Tough choice.
DETROIT VS BUFFALO - Detroit. Just because.
CHARLOTTE VS AUSTIN - Austin, easily. You've got the Hill Country, great food (especially great Texas barbecue), and new, modern skyscrapers. Plus, there's plenty of Texas hospitality and attitude.
NEW YORK VS CHICAGO - Chicago, hands down. Plus, I've got to have a deep-dish pizza.
Finally a Chicago backer!
NEW YORK VS CHICAGO - Chicago, it's the center of the universe
HOUSTON VS DALLAS - Houston
WASHINGTON D.C. VS BALTIMORE - Washington D.C. it's the capital
BOSTON VS PHILADELPHIA - Boston.
HARTFORD VS PROVIDENCE - Providence
CLEVELAND VS MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee, it's got the Great Lake of Michigan
ALBUQUERQUE VS SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio
DENVER VS PORTLAND, OR - Denver but I'd rather live in Portland
SAN FRANCISCO VS SEATTLE - San Francisco it is better known, but again I'd rather live in Seattle
SAN DIEGO VS TAMPA - San Diego
INDIANAPOLIS VS MINNEAPOLIS - Minneapolis
CINCINNATI VS PITTSBURGH - This one's tough, Pittsburgh
SALT LAKE CITY VS BOISE - Salt Lake City
