Philly is the Northeast, founding the nation Philly, NY, and Boston were the North, when we expanded it all became the northeast, and it slightly split into Mid-Atlantic/New England. Both are northeast, but more defined.
I think Boston was there for that too. I know New York tuck tail and ran
Although both Kansas and Missouri have a Kansas City, I'm sure the original poster meant Kansas City, Mo.
They better have. It's the region's core city - the larger and older of the two next-door neighbors.
But this sort of confusion is common once you travel more than about 400 miles east of the city (Westerners don't get them confused). We native Kansas Citians who grew up there (in the area, you have "Kansas City" and "Kansas City, Kansas") constantly engage in a rear-guard effort to educate the clueless Easterners.
I just voted for my adopted hometown, which I see is tied with Chicago for second place in this poll as a result of my vote (as of 2/7/19).
And I note that, contrary to post #2, this hasn't become an all-about-New-York thread. New York may be like no other city in the United States, but that doesn't mean it's everyone's favorite city.
Lincoln shouldn't be in the poll, everything West of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana = Western USA.
Why didn't you include Providence and Louisville?
Louisville lies on the wrong bank of the Ohio. Otherwise, it could be considered part of the Midwest, at least to a degree, but the state it's in has never been classed as a Midwestern state. But if Richmond, which is also not considered part of the Northeast, is on this list, then Louisville should be too.
Providence should have been included.
In many respects, the Mississippi River separates the Eastern US from the Western US. The Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas are all considered part of the Midwest, so if the OP was including cities in both regions, Lincoln would fit.
So would Omaha, Des Moines and Wichita, none of which appear on it either. All three are bigger than Lincoln. Topeka and Lincoln are about the same size.
In terms of livability, Philadelphia. Too me, it has the best combination of character, things to do, affordability, etc. That NYC wins by default in somes eyes is laughable to me, lol. Sorry! I love visiting NYC. But living like canned sardines, excruciatingly high cost of living, abismal Purchasing Power, grittiness, the NYC "freeze", isn't a quality life in my book (and I've been to NYC many times over the years). So, clearly, "the best" here in C-D is an extremely relative term. I know this will get me slammed, given that NYC is a C-D darling. And that's fine, NYC definitely has many great attributes. But its negatives are very glaring, IMO.
