Man you guys turned what could have been an interesting thread into a bawww-fest about New York and Chicago restaurants. Last I heard restaurants weren't that unique. Start a thread about food if you like but lets find out what makes US cities unique.

I agree with the restaurants not being "unique", especially in nyc!

The rest of the stuff you wrote, I don't even know how to respond. You just crawled out of some mountian jungle farmhouse, and you're worried about what an Omaha Steak has in it? Nutrition? My man, it's a piece of meat. You gonna eat it, or study it?.... Chemical flavor what? You bring a microscope to a steak house?....

Some people just have a knack for missing things.

It's okay if you don't know how to respond. You asked an inane question since you don't trust other people's tastes anyways, so the only response is a ridiculous objective answer.

Honolulu,Hawaii is the only big city in the United States that you can't get to by car from the other states in the union.

Well in hopes of getting a few other replies I'll repost my answer from earlier. Richmond offers Class IV whitewater rapids and rock climbing downtown and a ~12 mile single track mountain bike loop within city limits. I think there are probably a couple cities in CO that may have that as well, not sure. I would think NOLA would be the only major city below sea-level. What else? Any crazy laws or lack thereof?

Whoa...first, why in the hell would you ever eat Subway if you were in New York City?!?! I can't stand that place and New York's pizza/sub shops are supposed to be superior to Boston's! Did you get some amazing, authentic NY pizza from Sbarro later in the night?!

Second, if you're visiting New York, why in the hell would you get delivery (delivery Subway no less!)?! Whenever I visit, I want to be walking around the city and enjoying the atmosphere.

You're the one talking about how everything is accesible in Manhattan within 100 ft of your door...so why wouldn't you walk around the city and experience the amazing streetscapes it has to offer?

Some of your reasoning boggles the mind.

You could roast your weiner over water.
And with some stadium mustard it wasn't bad.
lol! I love this comment! I can't believe this got overlooked. Cleveland has river fires. Baltimore puts cloths on trees. There are some really corky towns up north.

As far as unique areas that nowhere else in the country can offer, the North End in Boston comes to mind...
