    London is 100x better than NYC (which wouldn't even land on my top 10).

    My Top 30 (hat tip to rico) among cities I've gotten to know:

    1) Paris (yeah, I know too obvious)
    2) London
    3) San Francisco
    4) Prague
    5) Tokyo
    6) Copenhagen (very underrated imo)
    7) Abu Dhabi
    8) Boston
    9) Singapore
    10) Charleston
    11) Nawlins (food there is da best)
    12) New York
    13) Edinburgh
    14) Seattle
    15) Rome
    16) Pittsburgh (underrated)
    17) Kuala Lumpur (great street food)
    18) Hong Kong
    19) Quebec
    20) Milan
    21) Amsterdam
    22) Washington
    23) Bangkok
    24) Montreal
    25) Philadelphia
    26) San Diego
    27) Miami
    28) Los Angeles
    29) Memphis (yes, a peculiar choice, but I have a sentimental attachment)
    30) Tulsa

    Yes, I'm a travelin man. I've had a couple jobs that have taken me far and wide. But I have whole continents yet to explore--South America, Australia/New Zealand. There are some cities I've only stopped briefly in, Austin for example, that I'm sure would make my top 30 if I could spend more time there.

    3.5 hours.

    You should fly to Savannah from BOS or NYC via JetBlue. Like 60 bucks one way. Then take a rental to meet your client in JAX.

    Very tragic not to see Berlin on that Top 30. Tokyo is easily my favorite city in the world. London, Sydney, Seoul, and Berlin round out the Top 5. I can get through 20 without considering an American city.

    Yep - should have included San Francisco. I haven't been to many places in the East other than Pakistan and Thailand, but would like to experience other Oriental cities.
