Which metro area has the best surburban areas? My vote go's to Washington DC with Boston a close second. The suburban limits don not have to be within the confines on inner ring Greenwich, CT or Bellevue WA or anything in between. I tend no to prefer the less cookie cutter/tract housing communities but if that's your cup of tea then talk about it.
Anyways, Minneapolis-St. Paul has over 325 suburbs. 325. That's what you get when you have two cities that only take up 110 sq miles in a 6,300 sq mile metro. Biased, I know but I really haven't experienced many others.
Hi, let's make a poll that inlcudes St. Louis, Cleveland, San Diego, Kansas City, Portland, Miami, and not include the Twin Cities, which are big as or bigger than all the ones I listed.

OK You have made your point, was not intentional and I'm pretty aware MSP holds considerable weight as a metro area
To a moderater in the audience, please add Minneapolis-St. Paul to the poll, I'm sure it has some lovely suburbs. Wouldn't it be nice if C-D made editing options easier?
In terms of large, urban suburbs I would choose Los Angeles or Washington DC. In terms of quaint, quiet, "old country" suburbs Boston & New York are my favorites. I would assume Philadelphia would have very similar suburbs to Boston & New York but I've never been to any of them so I can't comment.
Wherever there's a good amount of traditional Italian american influenced towns, history, and where there's a good amount of color throughout. (Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc)
NYC-Chicago-Philadelphia-Boston in that order.
