Indianapolis doesn't get much national recognition at all. I'd say it's definitely under rated outside the state of Indiana.
I would add it's Midwest brother Columbus to that as well. I would say Indy Cbus, KC are probably the top three best kept secret cities in the Midwest.

While we're at it, I'd say most of the Midwest is America's best kept secret.

Yes, I know NYC is more than Manhattan.... yes NYC is still overrated

Chicago has museums, cultural amenities and restaurants as highly rated or better than NYC.... these are amenities

Sorry you are offended

And NYC has many more museums, cultural amenities, and restaurants as highly rated and better than NYC. This is simply not a debatable point.

I'm not offended; I'm not from NYC nor do I live there. I simply see no factual basis for your statement regarding better amenities.

More does not equal better...... quality over quantity..... look up any rankings on best restaurants and cultural amenities

Don't let the media fool you into believing NYC is the greatest

Oh, and Washington DC and San Francisco have better quality amenities than NYC too

It would seem that this thread has outlasted its usefulness. Too many bad feelings from some people over certain cites being criticized

NYC has higher quality amenities as well. Often quantity creates quality

Boston is a close second

Most underrated is Philadelphia. It has the great public transit, great culture, great colleges. Love that city

Chicago is underrated too. Best skyline in America and better amenities than NY but also has character
this is pretty dumb. Where were all these creative people pushed out to? Other parts of NYC. Brooklyn is one of America's handful of true cultural centers that have a world impact.

Pushed to smaller cities where they can afford to live
