I've lived all over the world and I rank my favorite cities to live in as:
NYC, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong.

Here are some ideas of what you can do in NYC and why I love it. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:
Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.
UPPER WEST SIDE:
Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,
Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.
MIDTOWN:
Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Museum of Modern Art
Sony Bldg
Rockefeller Center
Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats!
Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington.
Empire State Bldg.
The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids.

CHELSEA:
Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun.

WALL ST:
Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve. Seaport area is great to see.

THE VILLAGE:
Funky shops in the West Village. Walk through the NYU Washington Square Park. The East Village has some shops from new artists and designers

SOHO:
Great galleries and shops on n off West Broadway. Walk thru to Little Italy for awesome meals and desserts...walk through Chinatown. CANAL STREET has stall after stall of Designer "copies"...bring cash and bargain and watch your purse!

These should put an awesome smile on your face. Bring your camera and takes lots of photos to remember your trip. You'll have a blast! OH...BUY this weekly magazine: TIMEOUT NEW YORK on any newstand to see what's going on each week/day. :)

It depends. There are many cities known for being the best city for different reasons.

yes. everything is here. i have lived here my entire adult life and grew up in the 'burbs. my favorite thing: every nationality of the world is here and so is their cuisine. you can eat great food cheaply in ny.
culturally no city surpasses ny. broadway has never been better no to mention off-broadway shows too. the city is safer and cleaner than at any other time. housing is expensive but that reflects the demand that everyone wants to live here.

It's great for so many things! And sucky for so many others!

If you want a fast pace, no time for relaxing, on-the-go lifestyle, its an AWESOME place to be...I'm in college there and it's quite fun, but sometimes when you just need time to chill and relax it doesn't do it for me...but there's ALWAYS something to do you can never be bored as long as you take the time to explore all the wonderful hidden places!

But there are so many cool places in the world, I don't think just one city has it all...

Everyone Shush, New york, and los angeles are extremely polluted, they don't have such a nice beach.

Yeah, New York is the best city. We have everything you could imagine. Sports, music, theater, television, comedy, shopping, restaurants, fishing, boating, amazing schools, amazing jobs, culture.

Toronto and NYC shouldn't be even mentioned in the same sentence, the only city that compares would be Tokyo

Of course!!!! And the proof follows as a direct corollary of the following:

New York is the only city. There are no other cities in the US.
Any other place can be best described as a village with a slightly heightened population density.

Being the only city, it is quite obviously the best city.
