Favorite US Cities
1. Portland, Oregon. (Popular Science named it the Greenest City in America in 2008. MBD follows suit by simply naming it "favorite.")
2. New Orleans, Louisiana. (Where else can you see an Albino alligator, catch your own crawfish, get daiquiris at a drive through window, and meet the Hot Boyz? The weather doesn't hurt either.)
3. Brooklyn, New York. (The Hipster's mecca. A metropolis made up of Polish, Puerto Ricans, and post-graduate artists. Also, about 70% of America's greatest hip hop comes out of there.)
4. Boston, Massachusetts. (It's the Portland of the East Coast. And the accents are sexy.)
5. Sante Fe, New Mexico. (So many Native Americans selling so many bright beads.)
6. San Francisco, California. (Where all the best poets are from. Where all the best homos move to. Where all the best hippies go to die.)
7. Biloxi, Mississippi. (The trees on the coast line all grow sideways because Hurricane Katrina forced them to. Like a Dr. Suess book, their arms wave at you: Help me up! Help me up!)
8. Jackson Hole, Wyoming. (There is always an abundance of Hell's Angels zooming around on their hogs, shouting compliments at you. Also, the best buffalo burgers, anywhere, period.)
9. Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Atmosphere, Prince, and Jesse Ventura. There's something here for everyone. And The Walker Museum is second only to the MOMA.)
10. Seattle, Washington. (A city surrounded by water makes for good feng shui.)
