From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A city is a relatively large and permanent urban settlement.

For example, an article of incorporation approved by the local state legislature distinguishes a city government from a town in Massachusetts.

Cities generally have advanced systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process. A big city or metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban sprawl, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban centers of employment. Once a city sprawls far enough to reach another city, this region can be deemed a conurbation or megalopolis. From Wikipedia under the

Philly and DC - again, from a historical standpoint, these 2 cities are a "must see". Plan on at least 2 days for the Smithsonian alone... New Orleans - a party town - fun and vibrant - and a testimony to the inadequacies of the federal government.
