What would be the one city you'd recommend to foreign visitors?

I'm from Phoenix, I honestly don't see the appeal. If you do visit Phx, DO NOT COME IN THE SUMMER. On a daily basis our highs are well in the 100's. It is considered to be a nice, cool day if the high is 95 or even if it's 100. However, come in the winter and you'll be in highs in the 50's or 60's. I honestly don't know what there is to do down here, I've never seen it from an outsiders view.

I think you're confused... Albany is NOT New York City. They are a five hour drive away from each other. As a New Yorker, and I mean New York City, I'm a little bit offended by the ignorance and lack of research here. If you're going to talk about Albany, then talk about things that are unique to Albany, not NYC.
