Chicago. Shopping the Miracle Mile, visiting the museums, maybe a walk on the Navy Pier, a lot of things to do there. But after a couple of days my patience wears thin dealing with the traffic, the panhandlers, and the crowding, I retreat back to my small midwestern town and enjoy the peace and quiet.
I don't think there's many places.... I realised that the things I've loved most about places I've lived are the things an outsider wouldn't know - the right cafés, the pretty places to walk, when to do what, how to talk with local people, etc.

New York. Great place, felt right at home but... it's in America. Even with Obamacare...
London, England. Great history, but the crowds are just horrendous.
I agree entirely about Central London, but it gets better in Zone 2. My home town.
