when they do the survey, the readers are ranking the entire city. So a place like New York gets ranked by the perception of all the five boroughs, not just Manhattan.
If that were the case, only college towns would make it on. I guess I have trouble generalizing - I live in LA, and if anything, it's extremely variable.
True. I used to live in LA and when most people think of "Los Angeles" I am pretty sure they are thinking of either the Westside of LA or the South Bay of LA. At least, that is what most people's preception of LA is from movies or television.
I guess NYC should be on this list since Manhattan has a lot of talent. As for Vegas, I guess since it is a mainstream magazine's readership that made this list, their readers tend to think of Vegas as trashy, but it could definately be on the list.
