Better City to visit during the summer and why?|182993

I_m planning on visiting either Boston, Washington D.C. or Los Angeles during the summer. If you could choose which city to visit and why what city would you choose within the three choices. If you can list pros and cons to visiting the cities.

Nice places to visit in summer (sorry, but your list is limiting you. Visit LA in spring or fall, it is way too hot in the summer.):

1. Vancouver, BC, Canada. GREAT city. Lots of everything, and in 2010 that will include the Olympics. Mountains on one side and ocean coast on the other. A short ferry away is scenic and huge Vancouver Island. Lots of trees and incredibly pretty for a large metropolis. Best places to go: Commercial Drive, Gastown, Yaletown, Vancouver Island, lots and lots more. Just avoid the Downtown Eastside, it is where all the drugs are.
2. Chicago, IL, USA. I love Chicago. A tad expensive, but lots of great things to do. Hundreds of concerts and stuff, theatres, and Navy Pier is amazing at night and usually has shows.
3. I guess Boston. Or DC. Or Baltimore. Or all of them at once in a gigantic amazing New England Trip. There_s an idea.

Boston is nice in the summer time, in fact the rest of the year is too cold

DC is also very nice in the summer,
lots to do in both cities

never been to LA

Since I live in the Boston Area, I would chosse DC, only because I have been to Boston so many times. But you really can_t go wrong with either

DC and Boston both have lots of museums, historical sites, shopping, restaurants, and nearby beaches.

Boston is the prettiest of those cities, and has more historic sights than the others.

The main attraction in Washington is its museums.

If you want a visit that focuses on a modern city rather than on museums or history, I would go to Los Angeles, which has many interesting neighborhoods, great restaurants, music and art scenes, fashion, design, and tremendous cultural diversity. But don_t go to Los Angeles for a standard tourist vacation - there are few real _sights_ and places like Hollywood and Beverly Hills are boring tourist traps.

I would go to DC there are so many museums to see that it could take days and they are all free
