Which two cities are most 'impressive' at the street-level? (America, Atlanta, Los Angeles)

[5ive8ight5ive]

I've always been more interested in what a city looks like from the street-level, than the way it looks from a typical 'skyline' view. In your opinion, which two cities are the most impressive at the street-level. By "impressive", I mean which city's street-level is the most aesthetically pleasing, functional, convenient, etc.

If a similar thread already exists--which I'm sure it does--please ignore this one, delete it, or do whatever you do; just don't bother telling me I'm lazy for not checking first, because I already know I am.



EDIT: I COMPLETELY FORGOT SAN FRAN--WHICH OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE UP THERE...IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN ADD IT TO THE POLL? IF NOT, JUST PRETEND THE 'OTHER' OPTION IS ACTUALLY SAN FRAN.

I'd say New York City is the obvious choice...then after that you could choose Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, DC, and San Francisco is whatever order you wanted.

I know Santa Fe is much smaller than the other cities listed, but I think it has perhaps the most unique street-level view of any city in America.

It's pretty absurd that you havent included San Francisco on this list. I think many would agree it's at least in the top three in terms of most impressive at street-level. Super dense, vibrant, pedestrian friendly, beautiful, colorful, etc. Definitely blows away any city in the US save NYC, Chicago, Boston, DC, and Philly.

Other cities that belong on the list, IMO, are Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland (and there are probably more).

In my view of the ones in the poll...(the groups are unordered)

Most impressive:

NYC

{big gap}

Chicago
Boston
San Francisco
Parts of Philly
Parts of DC
Parts of Miami
Parts of New Orleans

{another gap, but not as big}

Seattle
Los Angeles
Atlanta
Denver

My view on the poll:

- New York City (duh)
- Chicago (again duh)

(gap)

- Washington DC
- Philadelphia
- San Francisco

(gap)

- Seattle
- Atlanta
- Miami
- Minneapolis
- Austin (downtown looking down hills of lush green trees)
- San Antonio

And thats all, I have been in the street view of Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, & Phoenix and they weren't impressive the slightest.
