Pittsburgh is the most unique as far as architecture goes. I don't care what anyone says, the architecture of Pitt cannot be compared with ANY other city.
NYC gets the cake for most overall unique (Size, diversity, landmarks, people, etc)
HOW can people say LA is unique? Everything about it just screams "Typical big city"
Same with San Francisco, and most Calli cities. Seattle, I can see. The Space Needle makes it stand out.
And come on, we gotta give Cleveland a little something, it's the only 3-building city in the world. :P

Calli huh? Didnt realize California was spelled with two L's. So the Space needle stands out but the Golden Gate Bridge doesn't?
Unique is a very large "qualifier", as far as adjectives go.
What this means is that by that word alone, Detroit and NYC are both radically and equally unique and belong on the same list.
There are only a handful of "real" cities in the United States: NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Francisco. That order was chosen in my mind simply by going right to left.
I'd say San Francisco is the most "unique" because of those qualities I ascribe to that word. It's so small it can't offer the things other cities can. You realize the true value of space when you can't have parkland or front lawns. The most basic things any "city" offers really come at a premium in SF due to the spacial constraints.
I was in Boston almost every weekend for about 3 years, and I've lived in NYC. They're not much different.
Tell that to a Bostonian.
