1. NYC(Nation's Largest and most influential city)
2. Chicago( The Birth of Skyscrapers)
3. Washington D.C.(Nation's Capital)
4. Philadelphia( Birthplace of America)
5. San Francisco(Very Unique City)
I would suggest L.A. but most people would probably be dissapointed because Hollywood makes it seem like its all glamour and its really not.
Five cities -- and they must be cities, right? This is very tough one. Not easy at all to narrow down to five.
I would try to do a mix of large/small to show off our great country and all its diversity and natural beauty (and I recommend visits in Sept/Oct LOL)...in no particular order

Thats what I love about LA, its more tough, gritty, and rugged than what people think.
I think Las Vegas or Orlando would have to be top five. They have little value otherwise, but they are international (and domestic) tourism Meccas.
I agree they're tourist meccas and the number of flag carriers they have is well above their size IMO, add Honolulu in and make it a trio and each of the three have their own swagger IMO
Honolulu (for couples)
Las Vegas (for singles)
Orlando (for families)
NYC (duh)
LA (definitive west coast city)
DC (why not the nation's capital to learn about American History?)
Chicago (capitol of inland America)
Boston (higher learning, history)
It sucks that it should just be five because SF deserves to be in this list too.
America's history is in Philadelphia. Only a little D.C. But for real American history. Go to Philly!
only cities i would ever recommend seeing unless they want more vacation, nightlife, or leisure then honolulu, las vegas, and miami can be thrown in but if we're talking about our proudest most reputable most showcase cities then the big 5.

#5 could be between san juan (really underrated imo), honolulu, boston, dc, orlando, las vegas, or chicago.
