But Conde Nast separated cities to vote by size. Smaller cities have their own list. But More resort cities did not seem to be what these travelers voted best.
Do you really think Conde Nast voters who subscribe to such a magazine. Are just choosing cities By assumptions and not real travelers voting for favorites they visited?
Also our largest cities/metros, generally have a large tourist industry to begin with. Not all though. Cities with Cores most enjoyed. Will generally rate better too. LA being a exception in much in the metro overall.
Seems friendliness is a factor too toward those visitors votes. Cities that see tourist as a bother ...... may lose votes for that. That's something that can hurt NYC.
This magazine is for more those whose travel is not on the cheap and will seek out finest dining, shopping, museums and such as conde Nast comments the magazine makes on the top vote getting cities .... that make it in their higher ranks. Some smaller cities its on quaintness and beauty and special uniqueness.
This is no wallethub tabulation or one even about families traveling. It is affluent travelers and what US cities gave them the best experience in finer things more then other kinds of list on the subject.
This is what I gather. It also has World subscribers. So it isn't merely on North American subscribers. It has recognition that gets seen and recognized more worldwide too in news sources. My opinions. But seems one not seeing their city high makes their opinion a bit bitter.
This publication has more esteem then others too. Why many US news sources publish results. For me Minneapolis being #2 was a surprise. Of course NYC dropping in the rank. Not that I'm mocking it. Just interesting. I see no surprise in the smaller city list. But who am I .... but had to give a shout-out on my fav city winning again.
I don't understand why people are like why is X city not on list or why is this so up. I mean, there's plenty of lists like this and it just seemed like a random sample of 600k people for this one. Plenty of lists out there that has your stereotypical Miami, LV, SF, etc on the top 10. I for one like the list because of there are some nice surprises which I could see why it would be on there. Especially considering the smaller cities list. So many possibilities so don't expect one that you think of to be on there.
A lot of old white people cities making this list. Sort of describes the stereotype of the Conde Nast reader.
The median age in the US is 38.2. With the exception of New Orleans whose median age is 37.3, the remainder are well below (ie Boston is 32.1 and Minneapolis is 32.2). As far as being white is concerned, all but Pittsburgh (64.9% white) and Minneapolis (59.3%) are minority white.
Get out your bubble.

Last calculations... Chicago is slightly majority non-Hispanic White. Though Hispanic White has it jump to the mid-40% range. The Hispanic population passed the Black population around 2016.
From link:
Per U.S. Census estimates as of July 2k16, Chicago’s largest racial or ethnic group is White by 2%
- non-Hispanic White at 32.6% of the population,
- Hispanic population increasing to 29.7% of the population
- Blacks declining to 29.3% of the population from 32.9% in 2k10.
The Black population has been dropping for a couple decades as by far the largest group leaving the city. Just was such a significant drop in its population showing losses to very slow growth as a large reason.
