I havent been to most on that list, but my vote goes to the Mag Mile in Chicago. Every store imagineable, all within walking distance, excellent public transportation for those who dont want to walk too much, incredible atmosphere (especially around the holidays), incredible sights/architecture, etc. Then add in the Christmas lights, romantic horse-drawn carriage rides, the lakefront a block to the East, world class dining, etc, and VOILA! My fave shopping place on earth (so far)!

I only voted for the ones I have been to that I really like strolling by. Nothing beats walking on 5th Avenue during the holidays. All the $tores seem to be in that Chri$tma$ $pirit.

Manhattan, Mag Mile in Chicago and Union Square in SF are all outstanding and offer just about everything. Plus countless transit options, all extremely walkable urban environments.

IMO I would go with Broadway in SOHO Followed by Michigan Ave in Chicago.

Nothing beats 5th avenue around Christmas time. I've been going every year of my life and I never get tired of it.

Other for Uptown Houston. Times Square is very touristy nowadays.
