Admittedly I have only truly "travelled" to a couple cities so my experience is limited. I'd like to see a city with skyscrapers and tall buildings, New York has to WTC and the statue of liberty which I'd like to see which is a point for NYC, but I'd also like to be in a place where I can like, truly feel like what another city is like.

I'd like to go to a city with museums and history, where I can learn new stuff, and see stuff from history.

A music scene is a plus, if the city has like a dark basement where I can go to shows every night I'd love that.

I'm not really a foodie, like local cuisine is nice, but I'm more interested in trying something authentic that a local would buy on their lunch break, rather than spending $50 on a steak dinner in Manhattan
