My favorite city -- of those I've been to (how else could one really know?) -- is Chicago.

Chicago is a great city.

Now, what cities have I seen?

Outside the US:
Prague
Milan
Paris
Rome
Genoa
Florence
Venice
Bologna
Modena

Inside the US:
NYC, LA, Chicago, plethora of others

I'm sticking with Chicago. All of the European cities were cool as well (in different ways).

What's really neat about Chicago is how you can comb your wet hair...

walk outside...

and gasp as your hair is blown all over the place so much that it resembles nothing like you'd intended with your comb.

And if it's in the Winter months, your new windblown hairdo will freeze, so that it keeps its shape.

This is a great way to meet and woo women.

"Hello, how are you?"

(weird look from her)

"Oh, no, the part -- well there was a part -- is supposed to be on the left side of my head. And... uh... nice shoes!"

really, there are three main reasons why I say that Chicago is my favorite city:

1) Chicago-style deep dish pizza. If you haven't ever had it, order some. Look up Gino's East and Lou Malnatti's online.

2) Architecture. The Magnificent Mile is beautiful, in a concrete-jungle fashion. The Sears Tower, Hancock Tower, the tower that looks like a castle on top, the one that has the tapered-in diamond-shaped thingy on top (I have no idea how to describe architecture... completely lost here)... the Wrigley Building, etc.

3) For St. Patrick's Day, they dye (or is the verb form "die"?) the Chicago River a minty shade of green. Also, other food. (really, the food in Chicago is great).

Chicago has a couple of nicknames:

The Windy City

and

The City of Broad Shoulders

Hi prezbucky,

What do you think of NYC? Do you have a favourite borough? I like the Bronx and Harlem. Harlem is not a borough, of course, but part of Manhattan.

Englishuser

[prezbucky]

I've only really spent time in Manhattan.

I enjoyed my time there. I remember a place called Roxy Deli (something like that). I got a $20 sandwich ($20 is a lot for a sandwich in most of the US) that had about 6 inches of pastrami stacked between two thin slices of rye. That sandwich made two meals for me, and I can usually eat a lot of food.

My dad got the meat loaf. ROFL. They brought him a platter that had to be well over a foot wide. On it must have been at least 2 pounds of meat loaf and another pound or two pounds of mashed potatoes. I think his dish cost about $30 on special, but again, he ate off that thing at least twice (thank goodness for Doggie Bags -- they must have been invented in NYC at a place like Roxy).

All of this came with free pickles -- good pickles -- and cole slaw.

Yankee Stadium is supposedly in The Bronx. Harlem, I think, is in the northern reaches of Manhattan. (maybe)

Hi prezbucky,

You're absolutely right: the Yankee Stadium is located in the Bronx, and Harlem is part of Manhattan. What about the New York subway?

Englishuser

[prezbucky]

I did not get on the subway.

I have spent time on the subway (whatever they're called) in Parism, however.

Pretty girls everywhere -- I remember wishing that I knew more French than "Comment allez vous?" or however it's spelled!
