What are the hippest metro areas in America? (Choose top-3 in the poll, please).
A hip city is indellibly characterized by a vibrant urban core/dowtown, a major arts and culture scene, a great restaurant/culinary scene, an artsy, young population, diversity of residents, etc. In other words--HIP, COOL, SOPHISTICATED, etc.
Notice that I'm asking about metro areas--not cities. If you look at the hippest cities in America, the hip-ness of the urban core expends outwards to fill the whole metro area with an artsy atmosphere.
Alas, my votes: San Francisco, Seattle, New York
San Francisco; New York and Portland, not necessarily in that order.
