1. NEW YORK♥ i went a few times but its just as special everytime i go :) new york is also the most expensive :/
2. NYC
3. New York City by far!! Our winters can be a little hard, but nothing compared to Chicago or Boston. AND we have more culture per square foot than any other city in the U.S. Better food, better music, better art . . . you name it!
4. i would say PHILADELPHIA :) the reason behind this is because, 1. NYC and CHICAGO are pretty expensive to live in, unless you live more on the outskirts of town. Also they are more city-like and you get less nature. Although if thats what you like, id say go for one of those two. 2. Philly is absolutely gorgeous! its a little bit more, spacey? haha meaning theres more space to grow up and build a family etc and the cost of life isnt pretty decent. but its just absolutely wonderful and the weather is pretty well balanced 3. theyre hockey team is AWESOME. of course thats my opinion, but you never know :) the fans care about there team and its just a great environnement, but its not ALL about hockey if you dont like hockey hahaha my second choice would be Buffalo, cause its similar to Philadelphia. Its a bit more city than Philly, but a lot less than NYC and the cost of living isnt too high either hope i answered your question! :)
5. No matter where you go it is all the same. it is a matter of what you like and where you want to be, But I like Boston the most : )
