FINALS - World's Best 'Y' city - Yangon, Yogyakarta or York (home, nightlife)

[sarmbrst]

FINAL ROUND!

What World city, which has a name beginning with the letter "Y," is the greatest?

Please take into consideration: uniqueness of culture (food, creative arts, architecture, etc.), aesthetic beauty (architectural & natural), historical significance, buzz/pulse (that feeling of "life" you get when you know you're somewhere special), nightlife, modern relevance (not a Disney-like parody of its former self) and name recognition.

Yreka, California -- home of the palindromic Yreka Bakery.

No trip down the Florida turnpike would be complete without a stop at Yeehaw Junction.

Ypres is the site of a famous WWWI battle.

How about Yzeux, France,, maybe the only place spelled with an X, a Y and a Z.
