Definately extremely urban. In my list, I would put I serious break in between Baltimore and Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, New Orleans, St. Louis, etc.

I guess I would say:
1. NYC - 8 million + people, of course it's the most urban city in the country
2. Chicago - 2.8 million + people, tons of big buildings, traffic, density, etc. makes it the second contender.
3. Boston - You know why
4. San Francisco - Another given
5. Philly
6. Baltimore
7. DC
8. St. Louis
9. Cleveland
10. Denver... sort of
