I think I agree with Tennessee Williams on NOLA that's a great town, the food there is worth almost any distance flight.

Philadelphia. Paddy's Pub is a landmark
I bet it rotates between Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Austin, Dallas, Seattle, and Portland, with occasional layovers somewhere in Florida.
Back to food the Detroit metro is right up there everything from great sliders, BBQ, Middle Eastern, Eastern Europe. If a food exists you're going to find a pretty great representation there.
Then there's the museums, the car culture, Motown, and now tech. Lots of shade has been thrown at Detroit but in 2026 if I was in tech or engineering it would be my first stop. Major sports teams, great jobs, the water, cool art deco architecture that all seems pretty great to me.
But WINTER
The water? How close is Detroit to Flint?
Flint is in the metro Detroit are but the water I was talking about was the riverfront and the islands just off the coast.
Could probably throw Denver in there and atl
Denver is much more likely than Portland or Philly

I feel like Las Vegas takes fourth just purely from cultural relevance.
If it was by population then the 4th would be Houston but no one gives a shit about Houston.
Oooo yeah Vegas is a good candidate

My vote is probably Seattle, Philly or Boston, but I just happen to like them a lot. SF is lovely except it's a bit too small and if you include Oakland and Berkeley (you should), it has some serious issues. Portland is nice too, but again pretty small.
Y'all who nominate any Texas (or any other deep red state city, save for maybe New Orleans) are fucking crazy though; even if they're an oasis in an idiot desert, I've never enjoyed being in those cities. Even ignoring the state politics bringing them down, most are hot, humid and inconvenient to visit. I'm sure there's some public transportation in places like Dallas or Houston but I have my doubts, I've always had someone I was visiting drive me.
LA, NY, ChiTown, Miami.
