    Aww, Phoenix Din't Make The List?

    https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nat...o-travel-alone

    Buffalo, New York
    Perfect for: Staying out until 5am with the new best friends you met at midnight.

    In my home state of Florida, when two married couples start chatting up a solo traveler at a rooftop bar you assume you’re about to either get A) robbed or B) lured into a sex dungeon. So you can imagine my surprise when on my first night in Buffalo, as I drank alone at the Curtiss Hotel’s rooftop bar, two couples started asking me questions, bought me drinks, and never once used the phrase “so do you like my wife?” But this is how it works in Nickel City.

    I spent three nights in Buffalo recently. Each night I ended up meeting strangers at bars who insisted I join them for more drinks, then wouldn’t let me leave until after closing time at 4am. People in Buffalo are the kind of genuine that folks from the coasts rarely experience, a mix of New York grit and Midwestern nice whose idea of hospitality is force-feeding you Jäger when you want to go home.

    The city itself is chock-full of culture, breweries, and reinvented relics from its manufacturing heyday. And all of that is fun to visit solo. But if you’re the type who wants to be embraced into the local nightlife, you’ll never find a better place. Even playing tourist at the birthplace of the Buffalo Wing at Anchor Bar, you’ll meet some people who insist you bar-hop with them through the student-and-artist-filled bars in Allentown until 3, only to find yourself cajoled into doing 4am shots at the iconic dive Pink. You might wake up with a hangover, but you’ll also wake up thinking you’ve never had that much fun with a group of strangers. At least not the kind you can openly talk about outside of Florida. -- Matt Meltzer

    Somehow being singled out as a place to get ****faced with strangers till sunrise is hardly a badge of honor.
    And that discription fits just about every upstate college town I've ever been in.

    The point isn't getting hammered, it's about the people....

    Yeah, and they still irrigate deserts to make crops.. doesn't change the fact you have a finite resource there Jen. So far there is money to be made while it lasts, but make no mistake it's temporary.

    Nope even If theirs is ever a water shortage in AZ they will build water filtration plants like they have in Dubai, UAE etc.. and the last few years their has been heavy snow fall in the Mountains and when the snow caps melt it has increased every Lake water level.

    Great! maybe the smog like you get in Phoenix will slow down evaporation. So I guess there is no concern about water. Maybe when you get back to earth you can see what we are talking about.
