No Miami BEACH is a 24 hour city with a world class nightlife. The city of Miami is not.

Definitely not San Jose. Anyone who said that has never been to downtown San Jose. It's a lively downtown with workers and students during the day and clubgoer, entainment seekers and arts and theater people at night.

Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Detroit and Chicago Loop are the deadest very big cities. Note: I did say Chicago because I'm refering to its downtown core, not areas north of the river. That's a whole another story. When theaters go dark, it's really dead after 10:30.

Downtown St. Louis could & should be better. Sometimes when I take my friends to St. Louis I don't even take them by downtown. The thing is, St. Louis is made up of many neighborhoods. The bars, restaurants, and other entertainment are not just concentrated in downtown like many cities, they're spread out into all the different walkable neighborhoods like Soulard, South Grand, Midtown, Central West End, the Loop, Clayton, the Hill, and others. Some people might find this inconvenient, but it's kinda cool because each neighborhood has a unique feel. They feel like little towns within the city.

That's not to say that Downtown Stl is dead. It does have the Washington Avenue Loft District and Laclede's Landing. The Arch and the park are often busy, along with the areas around Busch Stadium when there's a game.

In the US, the only true large cities are NYC and to a lesser extent Chicago, and with reservation, LA.
If going by density, San Francisco would be kinda "large" as well.
NYC and CHI are large metros, but u hesitiate to consider LA a large city??

Downtown Atlanta is vibrant, but it's a dangerous vibrancy most of the time lol. Midtown is alot more tourist friendly than downtown that's for sure.
