This is a really good list - I especially like the 6-10. 2-5 are tough and to me just on size i usually put Chicago at 2 but overall I like this list a lot. To me any order of Boston/Philly/SF is hard to argue against.

Agree on Miami as well as too much is still in Miami/South beach but it is a city that could get better. I also think I would personally put Atlanta over Miami and to me the Atl may be number 11 if your list has the top ten.

Spade I must say I find we think more alike all the time

I knew you'd like it. It was pretty hard listing 2-5. I love the loop. But the reason why I put Philadelphia number two is because there too many hits and misses with the loop partly because it's huge. Center City is smaller than both DT DC and the loop. But it packs a bigger punch with it IMO and it has a better neighborhood feel to it. Can't go wrong with either one of them.

Minus Vegas, that's not a DT. And do we mean DT Atlanta only, or does that include midtown and Buckhead which are IMO way better. Otherwise, list is really good!

Midtown works for me but Buckhead is pretty far away really, one does not walk from DT to Buckhead, at least very easily and especially not in the Summer
