Also surprised at how this really hasn't been touched upon much yet, but LA is the entertainment capital of the world. Most media we enjoy is traced back to LA to some degree or another. Lots of cities are big on the arts, but LA and NYC floor all of them.

Most? A lot for sure, but nowadays most is an overstatement.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
learning time for those not smitten with hard shell gringo meat tacos with cheese and lettuce -------------------------- 7 basic regional cuisines of Mexico
1) Norterno (Northern Mexico) - this is just south of the US states of Texas (excluding the Gulf Coast), NM, AZ and CA but not the Baja. Ranching, wheat farming (flour tortillas invented there) and cheeses are big in the region.
Famous for: Queso Fresco, Machaca (rehydrated beef), Arrachera (marinated skirt which morphed into fajitas), Cabrito (roasted baby goat), Pan de semita (type of bread)
2) Bajacalifornio (most of the Baja Peninsula obviously) - wines, fish tacos, and other seafood-ized versions of El Norterno with other influences including Russian and Chinese. Margaritas and Caesar salads originated in Baja.
Famous for Caesar salad, Tacos of tempura fish and shrimp, Grilled lobster, seafood cocktails, ceviche, Margaritas
3) Oaxaqueno (Oaxaca/south Pacific coast) - Less affected by Spanish than other regions and still tied in with Mixtec and Zapotec peoples. Corn, chocolate and black beans are big here. Tortillas are a staple
Famous for Mole (7 varietals being negro, amarillo, coloradito, manchamanteles, chichilo, rojo and verde), Enfrijoladas, Queso Oaxaca, Blandas (corn tortillas), Empanadas, Tamales, Tlyudas (pizza oxacan), Mezcal
4) Chiapas (due west of the Guatamala border) - Shares similarities with Oaxacan with some unique ingredients distinguishing it apart
Famous for spicy chili (simojovel), pozol (fermented corn drink flavored with chocolate), chipilin (legume plant where the leaves are used)
5) Jaliscense (west of Mexico City over to the ocean but south of the tip of the Baja) - Tequila and other special items are from this region due to the amount of coastline, mountains, freshwater lakes as well as Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara
Famous for Birria (chilied stewed goat or lamb, on everyone's tacos these days), Torta ajogata (soaked torta), Fish soup (caldo michi), Pacholas (ground meat/chilies patty), Pozole Rojo (red pozole)
6) Yucateco (Yucatan which is comprised of the states of Quintana Roo, Campeche and Yucatan) - food here departs a little from what we traditionally think of as "Mexican" due to strong Mayan influences as well as Caribbean and French. Achiote is a signature spice of the area which you may have seen when you had something "red" like pork or beef or whatever. Habaneros, tamarind, plums, avocados and bitter oranges are all important flavoring agents. Near the coast, conch marinated in lime juice is big as well as some other local fish
Famous for poc-chuc (grilled pork marinated with achiote paste vinegar and orange juice), chiltomate (tomato/habanero salsa), Mayan pork (conchinita pibil), Pozole, kibbeh (due to Lebanese immigrants to that area), brazo de raina (hard boiled eggs stuffed tamales)
7) Veracruzano (Veracruz/Gulf Coast) - Indigenous, Spanish and Afro-Caribbean influences are found here. Europeans intruded typical spices (parsley, thyme, cilantro, marjoram, etc. to the area) along with rice, pineapples and citrus as well as olives and olive oils brought by Mediterranean Spaniards. These ingredients go side by side with native ingredients such as papaya, vanilla, mamey and zapote. Additionally, ingredients such as peanuts, plantains, yucca and sweet potatoes were introduced into that cuisine via slave trading and exchange of Caribbean influence. Very diverse and including seafood as you'd expect any good port area to be.
Famous for Huachinango (whole fish baked in tomato sauce with garlic, olives, capers and spices), Arroz a la tumbada (similar to paella but with some different flavorings); Pollo encacahuatado (chicken with tomato and peanut sauce); Garnachas (fried tortillas dipped in salsa and topped with beans, onions, crema, cheese, etc.); Chileatole de Pollo (chicken stew); Crema de palmitos (creamy hearts of palm stew made with chicken stock, onion, garlic); Mole Xiqueno which is a sweet mole
Then of course there is the Mexico City and Puebla urban cuisine featuring Barbacoa, Cemitas, Papalo (herb), Mole Poblano (20 ingredient+ mole); Chalupas, Chiles and Nogada (stuffed poblanos with dried fruit and meat topped with creamy walnut sauce and pomegranate seeds)
So there you have it
TL;dr: Eat Me(xican) Thanks to Gusto Mexico for the quick reference.
haha. Speaking of Drake, I wonder if Toronto isn't a top 2 or 3 city in the US and Canada. It's cold, but that's a place I've been close to and always wanted to spend some time in.
Toronto has disappointed every time I've gone.
Yeah, but there's a love-hate relationship there. My boys told me when they went to a Sabres Maple Leaf game, it was fights all over the parking lot. They were like 11 and 12 and of course loved every second of that.

They do. And they both win for crass commercialism too.
Not that anyone cares, but I finally got lunch. Guy relocated here from NY and makes the best bagels. I got the New Yorker. Lox, capers, crème cheese, and onions.

How close is it to downtown? I want to taste test that in June.

I just finished eating also. esteban got me wanting some NOLA cuisine. Harbor Seafood had stuffed bell peppers (shrimp and sausage) with hush puppies and yellow potato salad. It was delicious.

Man this is down to an incredibly tough choice. I feel obligated to vote NYC only because I think it is my fourth favorite city of these but it also has a lot of really good things so its hard to vote it but the other three all have softer places in my heart

It's notable- but does that appreciably make the city better? Other than an overabundance of transplants looking to hit it big and improving the dating pool?
Fuck all y'all. I had a yellow redbull, a half bag of plain fritos and a half bag of salted peanuts. I'm fucking starving too especially after that regional dive into Mexicano which I'm fucking craving now. And everything at home is frozen meaning I'm going to have to go ahead and figure something out for when I get off at 3:45.

I will be visiting Toronto for the first time (my first time in Canada at all) next weekend actually so if anyone wants to toss some food suggestions at me please do

Just a suggestion. Vote whatever way will save New Orleans.
We’re so close to getting LA out of here. Come on guys. Just think about Dodgers and Lakers. Don’t you hate them? Hell they just bought a championship with the Rams too and people in LA don’t even care about the team.
This post convinced me to switch my vote to LA. You're right, they have the worst sports fans. Also I want to save NOLA
You can get all the stuff Esteban posted earlier in Houston, made by people who moved here from New Orleans, plus the Tex-Mex, plus a lot of other shit.
Yep. Houston is a better food city than New Orleans.
this is true, but I can't save Houston and I can save New Orleans

An old girlfriend in Chicago (Lincoln Park area) has a dear friend of Indian (subcontinent) descent who was from there. She told me she went a few times and absolutely loved it. It used to be the most diverse big city in North America though I'm not sure if that's still true. They literally have everything and anything you could want to eat because of the mass of ethnicities and multicultural influences. If you're going next weekend, do some digging if you don't get any help here.
One day when I retire I'll make it up there for at least a few days to check shit out. I really want to go eat in Montreal as well and would probably need several days there also

Very close to downtown. H&S bagel. He has a water filtration system that makes our nasty water like the water in NY. Swears that’s why they are so good.

It comes down to whether “contribution to the overall cultural tapestry” matters, which has been up for debate one way or the other so far. New Orleans is great, culturally, but L.A. looms larger in terms of impact, overall, it’d seem to me.

The Antler Kitchen And Bar was great. Also check the St. Lawrence Market and get the Peameal Bacon Sandwich. One of the best sandwiches i've ever had.
