There's something to every city. Boston, where I live, is one of my favorites for its rich culture and history, it's intellectual circles, arts and music, great restaurants, diversity and progressive thinking. I can be myself in this place without having to be conscious about my national origin or race, political persuassion, age, gender, sexual orientation etc etc. That's true of many major cities in the US too, albeit, to different degrees. Other favorite cities of mine are San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, Washington.
