Monaco for me. I love mediterranean climates because I love the vegetation (not the phoenix palms and other introduced stuff - the natural vegetation). Atlantic City would be too oppressive in summer and too cold in winter for me.
"so rare as a hen's teeth"? this sentence proves you've never lived on the French Riviera in winter.
You would be surprised : there is practically NO winter without at least some snow flakes (agreed, the snow doesn't hold on the ground ... save during severe winters where it can happen for a few days (I was witness of that in Cannes which has the same climate as Monaco).

Either way Atlantic City gets more cold and snow than Monaco despite being further south.
I chose Atlantic city too, because it's LOCATED 3° 30' South of Monaco, and that's alot climatically speaking. Monaco because of it's northern location (comparable to southern Maine or Oregon!) is at the mercy of cold spells from November to May, and as someone said, the summers are very tame for a Mediterranean climate. Some people are fooled by the fact that Phoenix canariensis grow (artificially, it's not an endemic Riviere plant) in Monaco and not in Atlantic city, however I don't know the Koppen classification of both, I wouldn't be surprised if they were included in the same category.
Yeah since latitude is the ONLY thing that affects climate right?
