  • What is the second most important city on Earth?

    I hope everyone agrees that New York is THE city. But which city is the second most important one?

    If NYC is obliterated by a thermonuclear explosion, what city will be the most important city in the world?

    BTW, Frisco is the banana answer: Banana Republic HQ is located there.

          By what metric is New York the most important?

            I'm not so certain whether NYC really tops London. They're the big 2 though. Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo are next in line, though not necessarily in that order.

              Having just got up, I didn't notice the 2nd part, and picked NYC.

                Just noticed Paris isn't in the list. Dude, the poll really does suck.

                  Paris is full of French people.

                      I reckon a case could be made for Jerusalem.

                      Picked London though, just above Tokyo.

                            Chicago is not even second in the US.

                              Chicago is the second most important city in the US. Nobody would even know if you carpetbombed LA for at least two weeks...

                              Chicago is the #2 financial city (CBOT/CME), and the #1 architectural city. Thus, #2 in terms of importance.
