While perusing ye olde Consuming Interests the other day, I came across a post regarding a poll that Travel and Leisure Magazine put out there comparing “America’s Favorite Cities,” a rundown of tourist destination cities broken down by category – Best time of year to go, cuisine, etc – and ranked according to reader votes.
