I much prefer the smaller city... something like Charlotte, Nashville, Charleston, Savannah, etc.

*Disclaimer*: I was born on Long Island, about 45 minutes from the city, so I'm not just some out of touch yokel.

My brother lives in a cool little neighborhood in the SoHo area. I love to visit, but I couldn't live in Manhattan. It's just too overwhelming. I could probably do Brooklyn or Queens though.
