Thanks, but can you go one post without criticizing me? It seems like you're out to get me practically.

My vote for top four urban neighborhoods are:

1) Lincoln Park (Chicago) Lincoln Park | Chicago Neighborhoods | Explore Chicago
2) University Circle (Cleveland) University Circle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3) Wicker Park/Bucktown (Chicago) Wicker Park / Bucktown - A Chicago Neighborhood Guide
4) Central West End (St. Louis) Central West End, St. Louis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Honorable mention:
Over-the-Rhine (Cincinnati) Over-the-Rhine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uptown (Minneapolis) Uptown, Minneapolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fair enough although I honestly would put rank Uptown higher than University Circle for livelyness.

I know I'm biased, but I vote for Over-the-Rhine.

IDK about some of them, but Columbus' is easily German Village or "Short North" -- both very unique neighborhoods in the Midwest/USA. For that matter, every one of those cities listed has some AMAZING urban neighborhoods that go largely unnoticed and are underrated compared to many national "bests", IMO.
