I've never seen a poll where San Francisco beat NYC. I don't think it has ever happened on the history of city data. Hell, I don't even think I've seen a that NYC lost period.

It's always (1) NYC (2) Chicago/SF/Boston in no order.

What kind and how much of it? Lets get a pack of 24. That's a pretty good amount for Beer Pong & then just casual drinking. Yeah!

Its not that San Francisco has ever beat New York City on a poll before, but its just that it has NEVER come in last either. At least in any of the threads I've ever seen or created. And Seattle was actually winning until I voted for New York City and it evened out to 6 & 6.

And to the OP: I would recommend New York City, it really has all the amenities you could want but if you want to save money and go to another good alternative then Seattle would be a great choice.

True. I'm surprised Seattle is ahead of SF .

New York is more expensive than both cities. San Francisco is more expensive than Seattle. Seattle is expensive..and would be the best choice.

I would choose New York City in a heartbeat. It's my recommendation as well. Think no further about it.

Wow. NYC tied with Seattle. With all the NYC boosters on here I expected about a million votes for NYC, especially from those who've never visited.

If you like cities NY is the one place you should live/stay an extended time in at least once in you're life,just to soak it all in.

This is the way it works.. There are just 3 top cities in the world right now: New York, London and Paris. And every other city in the world strives to measure up in some way to these top 3, whether they like to admit it or not. :-)
