Cali is nice (northern preferably), I grew up in the tri state area, florida is nice for raising a family.... but Boston is my favorite city in the country- and I travel a lot. Hands down best food, chill atmosphere, cool bars and clubs, ton of museums and sites... vegas is cool for about a week and then you want to kill yourself. Manhattan is too expensive and dirty despite the nice things about it... Texas has great food and not much else location wise. The entire middle of the country is just a barren wasteland of uselessness.
