I have lived in Manhattan for the better part of the past 15 years. I've also lived in San Francisco, Houston, Austin, and Prague. Have also spent a summer in France.
Even though sometimes I really fucking hate it here for a number of reasons, there is just such a wide variety of things to do here that I get bored as fuck whenever spending more than a week or two in any other US or Canadian city. The only other places on this continent where I would ever even consider living are Montreal and LA. Every few years or so, when the city starts getting to me, I weigh the pros/cons of those two cities versus the pros/cons of living here, and Manhattan comes out ahead every time. It would probably be different if I lived in one of the outer boroughs or Long Island or god forbid New Jersey, but when comparing to Manhattan, no other place really even comes close.
Granted the weather isn't the best in the world, but I really don't care because I'm not really into outdoorsy type stuff and the weather is easy to ignore because there are so many great things to do indoors.
