Being in a suburb of New York, I have worked and visited NYC many years (times). To live there would be expensive, but saying I had lots of money, it would be exciting; culture (theatre, museums, art galleries, concerts) and the restaurants.
I loved my visit to Rome, but I'm not sure I'd like to live there. Tuscany area, yes.
London would be much like New York
So how about
Nashville, Tenn......the Grand Old Opry
Dublin, Ireland......Beer.
