I so wish that this post could be more internationally flavored but that will have to wait for the future...
NYC - Where to begin. I guess with the food. The pizza, the knishes, italian ices, hot dogs, steak, chinese food. It's all so delicious and plentiful. The Museum of Natural History. Greenwich Village, Central Park, Broadway, the Jazz clubs. Damn, I could go on forever. I love California but there is truly nothing like New York.
Monterey/Carmel/Big Sur - Overwhelming natural beauty everywhere you look. There are wonderful sights like the 17 Mile Drive and the Monterey Aquarium and nothing quite beats a fresh cup of crab and a cold beer on Cannery Row. Still, it is the overwhelming beauty of the region that bring me back time and time again.
San Francisco - I've not spent as much time here as I would prefer but what I have seen, I have adored. It's a charming and welcoming city with plenty to keep one occupied. I wish it wasn't so expensive to live there.
Washington DC - While the city is not without its problems, the historical aspects make it a fascinating place. The Smithsonian alone could keep me occupied for a very long time.
