I lived near watertown ny for 36 years. It's the small towns in NY that make it special if you ask me. I loved Clayton and A-Bay and have been to Lake Placid many times. All 3 are beautiful places in the summer and fall. I have lived in PA for the last 5 years though because NY is just unlivable anymore sadly, but I'd love to visit upstate ny again soon.

Manchester at 2 is crazy.

Grew up in the torrington/winsted area, and i gotta say youre analysis is pretty accurate. Not a terrible place to live at all, relatively safe but definitely not a lot going on for it.

Judging from the comments section, it's a tie (just up to YOUR personal preference). Wonderful!

Having lived in downtown Portsmouth for three decades, I would agree about the ranking. I just have a question about the use of Newburyport in one of the Portsmouth scenes... Fowles is on High Street in our MA competitor City, where you can see the city had the smarts to put the electrical wires underground when they rehabbed the city.

How ironic... we live in Binghamton, and I'm scheduled to perform at Owego's Porchfest 2024. Great video, and some places we have been to, but we definitely have to visit the ones we have not.

Cold Spring , NY is a very nice town indeed but unfortunately too many delusional liberals infest the town by living there .

Interesting video on how an outsider sees the city! Just a note, the reason why LaSalle park was in a state of disrepair when you saw it is because maintenance had stopped in advance of the $110m upgrades being constructed now! It will be renamed Ralph Wilson Park and should be opened in the next few years.

hard to hear you with the music

No Adirondack State Park? No Allegheny State Park? I live near Letchworth, been there many times, I've been to Watkins Glen, both awesome parks.... Adirondacks #1 no contest.

good list! only critique is i feel that manchester and glastonbury should be considered over some of the somewhat cookie cutter southwest cities

Nice enough video, but there are plenty of very nice boroughs in Western PA, while your listed is far too Eastern PA heavy.

Correct pronunciation is Coos County (as in Cooing Baby with an S at the end) _NOT_ Co-Os (like Chaos). The way the narrator mispronounced it, I have to wonder if he's ever even _been_ to New Hampshire!

Omg this guy has some cities wrong . Top cities has high crime. Bridgeport wins over danbury????!!

I don’t think you know what a village is🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

The Mayor's position is opening up. Here's your chance!

Carlisle, Hanover, Aspers and others in South Central PA are with manufacturing jobs of IPhone, Food, Snacks and other products we use as these major companies pay well above PA Minimum wage of $7.25 a hour as they have offers for 401K, Health Care packages and more. I've worked in many of them and am trying to go back to them once I can find housing as rent is very high in those areas. Yet they are great areas to live in. Mass Transit in Pittsburgh has been getting deeply worse over the years and is expected to get worse. Rabbit Transit operates Class 5 Paratransit as Rich Farr CEO has been doing his best to improve services both on ACCESS and fixed transit in the Region. Rich truly is a caring CEO and he pours his heart out to expand services, yet its hard with Penn DOT and Democrats don't care to spend funding properly.

Charlori is mostly nice area, yet its known as a high drug area.

After we lost Coal, Coke and Steel Indaustries we have seen McKeesRocks, McKeesPort, Braddock, Homewood-Brushton and others that have tuned into a high crime street drug, and other violent crime area including City of Pittsburgh. Our Trail area on old railbeds are beautiful, yet Monongahela Valley including Allegheny, Westmoreland others along the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers have been filled with crime.

Like tan Kittanning.

Strange ranking. I'd look at factors like jobs, safety, wealth, schools, infrastructure, and hospitals in the city. Also shopping, restaurants, and universities.

This list was such a waste of time.. you offer no depth to your reasonings for most of these. I don't recommend anyone taking this list seriously.

I think Niagara Falls loses a few points for being such an obvious choice. I live 20 miles away from it, and the sentiment around here is sort of along the lines of "Oh yeah, I guess that is sort of a world-renown place, isn't it?" Like how people from NYC kind of yawn at the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building and all the other big-name places that tourists want to see. On the flip side of that, I'd put Chimney Bluffs somewhere in the top-10, partly because it seems significantly under-known, and also because it doesn't look like something in you'd find in New York, or even the Northeast in general. If you showed a photo of it to a hundred people who'd never seen it before, I bet none of them would guess that it's in NY.

These are not small villages, they are big cities, each one more beautiful than the other, and really worth a visit and I hope I get a chance to visit them.

I just recently came across your channel, and growing up in PA and spending a lot of summers in upstate NY, I enjoy your videos. Interesting tidbit on "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". The story was actually based in the Town of Kinderhook, and the headmaster there, James Merwin. Martin Van Buren, who was born, raised and retired in Kinderhook, was friends with both James Merwin and Washington Irving, and there was a series of letters between Irving and Van Buren confirming it.

Im from around here… sort of.. u said all the nice places were “boring”.. would u rather have that or ghetto garbage?? Danbury is pretty nice.. right above it you have Waterbury, a complete shithole.. one of the worst cities ever..

Lose the music.

Watertown

The Seneca Army Depot is also famous for its white deer. They are not albino, but are white from a recessive gene. Since they are in a protected area (a former base) there was no hunting allowed and they flourished.

They are all old and dirty, the Garbage state.

And: where is Westport lol

“Tell me you’re from Rhode Island Without telling me you’re from Rhode Island” 1 Bristol has the biggest waterpark in CT 2 Stamford should be ranked higher has a lot of shopping places 3 why the hell is Waterbury not 20 4 derby is the West Virginia of CT 5 For all the CT people who have been unlucky enough to go to Ansonia, well. You came back with 5 ticks and 47 mosquito bites.

I'm from Vihiga County Kenya🇰🇪 but hope one day I will new hampshire cause that's my dream💪🤲

09/09/24: Your music drowns out your narration (voice). Instant DQ.

Someone had a sense of humor parking their Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager in front of the Harley monument.

Have a family cottage on Seneca since the 40s. Seneca and Keuka by far surpass Cayuga. Other than the fall Ithaca is not much to see.

I think you’re way out of line with your ranking you must be from Massachusetts and you do not live in New Hampshire so please go back to mass and stop talking about New Hampshire

Please turn down the background music!!!

Sure as hail NOT Red Lion !

I’ve lived in upstate for 100% of my almost 70 yrs and your list, while all pretty cool places, is definitely NOT authoritative 😂😂, How anyone could thing Owego is more interesting than Saratoga, Ithaca, Hammondsport, CORNING, is beyond me. But that’s OK - once you get into any of the district areas of upstate every few miles is another cool place.

This list is ridiculous. This guy has no idea where he’s going in the state of New York Way better places.

Guy! Seriously? Non Massholes… Nantucket is for if you want to wear your Vineyard Vines and act like a douche, and if you want to go to Martha’s Vineyard, you will take a nap. Everything closes early, the stores are awful and just no. Don’t waste your time and money. And for the love of God, DO NOT go to Plymouth and to Plymouth Rock. It’s horrible. Go to Berlin, no where near a city. Go to Welfleet, North Yarmouth if you have kids. There are so many better “Mass places”.

Lee? Really? Webster is a dump if you don’t live on the lake.

Keene is competing with Manchester for the "rudest people ever" award in my books. But i'm in Claremont, so I probably can't talk much.

Check out beachcomber motel 75th st ocmd best spot in town!!

A very well presented analysis. My only difficulty with the ranking would be Seneca Lake First and Cayuga Lake Second even if only a hair apart.

As a native to Berlin, and having lived around the state a bit, berlin is the absolute worst city on this list. Currently a Manchester resident, it has its issues for sure, but berlin is so lost to time and corrupt local and drugs. Crime is going up and has been for awhile, drugs are getting worse, the homeless population is growing rapidly and the economy is non existent. There isn't even a hotel I'm city limits. It has no right to be that high. Maybe rochester and manchester could be considered worse, but I would argue the bigger city issues in such a small place makes it awful. I would also like to add, claremont isn't that nice either. Though not as bad as berlin, it is definitely not higher then lebanon

1 in and I can already tell we've lost the plot. Also little known fact, Berlin is one of the worst places in NE for many reasons. Keene isn't amazing, but better than 12,10, 9, and5 and maybe 6 and 7 IMO. Nashua is over hated I guess.

Wow, I can appreciate you are looking at this from an urban planner/city layout kind of view, which is a vastly different ordering than I'd choose. No way is Keene lower than Claremont, for example. Keene is far more exciting, with a lively dining scene in no small part to the college. Have you been to Claremont in the spring/fall/WINTER? yeah. and Berlin STILL is a stinky mess. Also, how can you talk about Nashua but fail to mention a place like Mine Falls? sorry, but this list is just not good.

You have no idea wtf you are talking about. You’re just another dumb liberal who doesn’t understand facts. All you care about is feelings.
