Why shouldn't Philly be in this poll? Because its not stereotypical DC, ATL, NO, down-south blackness?
Philly has a much stronger west indian presence than the others on the list, and that equals more after-hours spots, and underground parties. Nobody parties quite like us. Except New York, which is on a whole nother level and IMO has by far the best nightlife(black or otherwise) of any US city.
you hear stories about new york's nightlife being glamorous, glitzy, and pretentious. but never in my life have i ever heard the phrase, "man, those new yorkers sure know how to party"....and what makes you so sure that we don't party better down south? do y'all even dance on the east coast? i know y'all's females can't bounce it as good as ours can. not even close lol
the only northern cities i'd give it to are chicago, dc, and baltimore. but i voted for atlanta

Yeah, why bother doing that....it's not like there is a way to find out which is true...oh, wait, there is:

You obviously know nothing about NYC.

I don't know about the down south blackness. But I do know that Philly does not get it in like DC does. Maybe for Bars/Italians but not for blacks. There used to be a bus from Philly to DC every Friday that took people to Love/Dream.

I don't think it's a dumb statement at all. In fact, it's probably true. Without consulting the actual numbers, I'd venture to say that the top West Indian U.S. cities are:
1. NYC
2. Miami
3. Boston
4. DC
5. Atlanta
6. Philly
Atlanta's had so much migration from the Tri-State area that I pretty much have to give it to the A over Philly. Atlanta's carnival is getting bigger and bigger by the year. I doubt Atlanta will ever rival DC as a center of West Indian culture because Howard pulls so many West Indians to the DC area, but I think Atlanta will certainly overtake Philly if it hasn't already.
Philly proper has nearly nine times as much as ATL city.
Which is yet another reason why city proper population is irrelevant compared to metro population. Even before seeing the stats that the poster up their posted, I would have bet Phillies Black west Indian population is closer to Atlanta's and DC's than it is to New York or South Florida.
