      New York, no question. It's certainly the most remarkable city I've been to.

          No.

          Anyway, depends onthe definition of culture. If you consider pop-"cultulre" as cultlure, then its definately New York. However, if you dont consider pop-"culture" cultlure, then it has to be either Paris or Calcutta.

          I voted for Paris.

            I too read that Calcutta is more "cultural" than Delhi, though I may be wrong (that's why I asked).

            anyways, if pop culture is culture, there would only be three possible choices. LA, NY or Bombay.

            dang, I forgot Bombay...

                San Franciso/Silicon Valley

                The most beautiful city in the world and the capital of high tech.

                    LA was still acceptable because of Hollywood and so.. but calling an industrial area a culture capital.. there's something wrong with you
                    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                        There's already too many American cities. At least change it to Berlin instead.

                            Sadly, much of Dresden's cultural landmarks and heritage were destroyed in the firebombing.

                              Don't forget the floods

                              But quite all the most important landmarks (apart from the Frauenkirche) had already been restored

                                as for Atlanta, I'm sure being hot, sweaty, and eating terrible fried food could be considered cultural




                                Southern food is ten times better than anything that has come from up north. Even New York style pizza!!

                                Atlanta is mainly an inside joke kinda thing




                                I voted for Paris, btw.
