Favorite Cities in North America, minus strip clubs
Muddy
USA
A lot of us are familiar with some of TUSCL's favorite strip club cities, where perhaps without the strip club element might make for radically different list. Infact some of America's most popular cities on the TUSCL don't club there no matter what list. I understand living somewhere and visting are two different thing so just as far as quick visiting what are some of your guys favorite cities to check out?
My list I'll do 10 not saying you have to. Don't hold me to the order.
1. San Diego- The closest you get to paradise in the US. The best looking area and climate that any city is in, in the states. I just love SD. This is how people should live.
2. Los Angeles- I don't like the direction it's going in, but there is still so much shit to do here. For LA and NYC people may not realize just how much bigger scale these two are then everywhere else, it's not really a 1:1 comparison. You'd have to double a big ass metro Chicagoland and you wouldn't even get an NYC or LA. Los Angeles would be #1 on my strip club city list, so I'm a fan.
3. New York City- I'm from the area and I'm a little been there done that sort of feeling with me sort of burn out feeling but there's still just nothing like it in America. There's an energy here, idk how to explain but it but you just can't it get anywhere else.
4. San Francisco- The best looking city in North America and quite frankly it's not even close. Every street you look down or up at is picturesque as fuck...uh except the tenderloin don't look that way.
5. Chicago- I think maybe the best food city in America and really it's fairly obvious it's the crown jewel of the midwest. But crime is real issue here that's making it lose it's luster.
6. Boston- I love Boston, real safe too. A lot of culture here.
7. Montreal- Every girl is beautiful doing random shit, riding a bike, in a window, on a scooter idk what that is but I love it. Real old feeling city too for the west.
8. Miami- A lot of energy in Miami and love the pastel theme to the city makes everything look real sharp. More cities should be on the same page when it comes to aesthetics.
9. Austin-I was there in '19 came back in '22 and it felt like a different city. It's really growing fast. Unique being a dense city in the sunbelt and I think that's what's make it's real attractive.
10. Philadelphia- Great food city, real tight old streets, makes for shitty parking but I think some cool neighborhoods. Crime is kicking Philly's ass right now though.
Honorable Mention-
Pittsburgh- Smaller city but I don't think a lot of people realize how unique it is due to the terrain. You'll be looking at one neighborhood from a distance and think to yourself how the fuck do I get over there.
Santa Fe- One of the more underrated little cities out there IMO, cool location.
I tend to like the bigger cities, there's just way more stuff to do. I'm the kind of guy that likes everywhere though so I can't say I hate anywhere. My strip club city list would look a little different for sure. What your some of your guys top spots?

Portland, ME, has a food and arts scene that really punches above its weight. It's also very scenic and there's plenty to do.
Montpelier, VT, is an extremely quaint, walkable, and friendly city. The people are extremely nice. Lots of quirky small shops and restaurants.
I lived in LA for several years. It's a city that everyone loves to complain about, but I had a great time there. The traffic is a ballache. It's been a long time since I've been there, though.
Tampa is a favorite
Surprised no one has mentioned Toronto. Big city without the claustrophobic feeling of New York.
Chicago. I haven't been in forever but amazing food with the midwestern vibe. Wouldn't go there now though.
San Diego. I love zoos, and the chill vibe is relaxing.
Most overrated - Las Vegas, Portland, New York
Albuquerque new mexico
Salt Lake City
Santa Maria California
Montreal - the only place in North America I feel like I’m somewhere in Europe
Vegas - questionable if this should not be on anyones list but I love to gamble and even the “meh” restaurants are good. Looking back on my life some of my best nights ever occurred in this city, some of which are very weird but certainly unforgettable. Only city I can say one of my best nights ever with my wife, a random stripper, and my girlfriend all occurred in the same city. All at different times of course!
Wine country (Napa, Sonoma, Russian River, etc.) - if I had to pick somewhere in Cali this would be it.
1) Nashville - the combination of music, food and nightlife is second to none
2) Las Vegas - I love to gamble and this is the gambling Mecca
3) Honolulu - tropical beaches and picturesque hikes
4) Boston - such rich history
5) New Orleans- great food and a fun night life
Portland ME. As someone else said, it punches way above its weight class from a cultural perspective, yet is still very manageable in size and reasonable in cost.
New York City is great for activities. It’s also a good walking city.
Boston is a great city with a rich history. It’s another good walking city.
Philadelphia is a good old city with a rich history. It can get sketchy in certain areas after dark. When you are in center city, it’s good for walking too.
DC is a good place for history and for exploring. There is too much to do - regardless of the time you have. But, again, certain areas can become sketchy after dark. It’s a good city to walk too.
Providence is a very cool smaller city. Great downtown and good spots to eat.
As I get out of the northeast, cities seem to become more spread out, and it’s very different. Some cities are so geographically dispersed, it seems that they are not cohesive. I liked Jacksonville Fl, but the downtown seems like a different location when compared to the outskirts (that are largely suburban).
Key West. Very unique, lively, and walkable.
Greenville SC. Very walkable, friendly folks.
Other faves already mentioned are Philadelphia, Las Vegas, San Diego, Miami.
By the way I heard Cleveland described as “The mistake by the lake” one time, is that valid?
These are places I've had fun in the past, most of my traveling now is either South and Central America, and Europe.
Española and the Rio Arriba County area is great
For New York, the city has really changed. The last decade was the biggest skyscraper boom since 30’s so there’s a lot of new stuff to look at. Particularly the once relatively sleepy west side and lower Manhattan. After 9/11 the tallest building was the Empire State Building in NY now there are probably 10 taller than that. You also got the Oculus and the Vessel. All kinds of shit so I would check it out if you haven’t been in a while.
Portland Maine, I think the other Portland gets all the hype but that one is an underrated spot for sure.
And yeah Nashville is great time. Was just there a couple months back, cranes all over the place
