Re underwhelmed by New York: I didn't include it in my list but should have.

It's a city. With limited history. I found it meh. I've travelled extensively, and lived in California for a year.

It felt incredibly claustrophobic - hated not being able to see the sky unless looking directly above you.

Athough I grew up in a country with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, so the bar is set rather high....
