What's the best city in the world? (crime, compared, metropolitan)

[theATLien]

I would say Atlanta, of course, but if money wasn't an issue... I would say LA. I love the weather, the glamour, and all of the richest people and celebrities live there.

Las Vegas is a close 2nd, and NYC a very close third, Montreal a very close 4th.

This was something I already knew but this recent Time Out magazine survey and CNBC article should answer your question.

Well that suburb is one of the MOST entertaining suburbs in the world and actually attracts people FROM, some of those creme of the crop cities.

I Google-searched the term "Best City in the World" and the third result on the page was the City of Pittsburgh's website..

So I guess that settles it! Way to go guys; I always was a Steelers and Penguins fan growing up...Pittsburgh it is!

I mean, my comment wasn't a knock on NYC, I'm sure NYC is the best city in the world, BUT was the hating on LA necessary? Call me crazy, but if I had money, I'd choose LA over NYC, Paris, London, and MAYBE Tokyo. LA is just an attractive city. It REALLY is.

I agree, NYC is the best city of the world. Nothing can compare to NYC.
