Americans agree San Franciscans are the best overall people, compared to 25 other US cities, also ranking number one in categories such as most sophisticated getaway, most notable neighborhoods, and gay-friendliness. I wasn’t surprised, but then again this native is a tad biased.
Travel and Leisure Magazine recently published a survey, asking Americans to rate 25 urban destinations around the US. After 60,000 responses, here is a guide to how your next travel destination ranks.
San Francisco was ranked pretty high for most categories, often tying or coming in a close second to New York City in categories such as ethnic food, skyline views, and underground arts scene.
See how San Francisco measures up in all areas!
