A recent poll lists the top five cities in a number of categories, and surprisingly enough Providence was voted the best overall.The poll by Travel and Leisure took 50,000 votes ranking 38 cities around the United States in a bunch of different categories. Providence made the top five in a whopping 22 different categories, not including the best overall, while Boston only made the top five six times.

Having lived in the Providence area my entire life until last year, I guess I never realized how awesome my home was! I found one thing funny about the list, though. In the "People" section of the polls, Providence made it to the top in Geeky and Hip/Cool. I guess it's just a diverse city.

The great restaurants, bars, and other places to get something tasty helped Providence score the best in the Food and Drink category. You don't have to go much further than good ol' Rhode Island for some of the best coffee, bakeries, pizza, burgers, and more in America.
