According to the new and correct list, NYC is fatter than Houston

Haha, your baseless bash = epic fail

The list seems mostly accurate but it is rather subjective as well

If great nightlife = lots of hot college girls then Austin blows NY out of the water. Just ask anyone who has been to both areas

Austin is probably the most overrated city on these forums. I would also take Houston or Dallas over Austin anyday.

Ok, how is Providence ranked ahead of Boston for nightlife and ahead of San Francisco for culture? Providence is not a bad city but kind of overshadowed by nearby Boston for cultural activities.

LOL, who voted on this poll?

lol go to Greenwich village where NYU is and you'll get that in NYC. I'd take Broadway plays as entertainment over a bar with drunk college kids any day.
