In order from highest to lowest priority, the top 10 sizeable cities (let's say 1 million plus in metro area) anywhere in the world that you think everyone should see before they die. I'm particularly interested in the ranking of the top tiers.
For me, it was an extremely tough decision between NYC and London for top spot. NYC probably wins out because Paris is on the list too. I know London is so different to Paris, but NYC still embodies the 'big city' so it had to be no. 1.
1. New York
2. Paris
3. London
4. Rome
5. Tokyo
6. Istanbul
7. Florence
8. Beijing

NYC is nothing like Paris or London or even Tokyo. I would it much further down on the list.
Just because it's an important city doesn't mean it's as interesting or historically moving to visit.
Frankly, every time I visit, I just get a giant headache and a gut full of regret.
I think I'd put L.A./Hollywood over NYC.
I'd also put Venice over Rome or Florence.
I'd put New Delhi over Istanbul.
