City Series

Forbes ranked the Top 10 Cities for College Graduates based on job salaries and opportunities, but what's it like to actually live in each city? The Eruptin City Series explores young professionals' perspective on post-college life in a big city every Monday. 


After a randomly selected group of 10 readers voted for their favorite City Series, the results are:


1st-  Aaron Field: NY: The Engima That Never Sleeps
2nd- Liz Kamens: Philadelphia's Brotherly Love

By: Liz Kamens

We may be known for a few stereotypical specialties- cheese steaks, soft pretzels and water ice (a personal favorite), but there are also so many great, quaint byob’s, that are both delicious and affordable, particularly for a law student’s budget.

In Pittsburgh if you are not into football, which I wasn’t very much, you become a fan.  If you have no team loyalties, then it becomes very easy for you to bleed Black and Gold.

People are always so fascinated with Miami, and if you haven’t been, let me tell you some interesting facts. All the mannequins have enormous boobs. Lots of people in Miami own tigers as pets.

The Spread of Los Angeles
By: Phil Lax

Why is LA so concerned with appearances? Maybe because that is precisely what makes LA so great! In fact, one of the reasons I love LA is its appearance. Beautiful landscapes are everywhere. Sunsets on the Pacific Ocean are gorgeous. Just the sight of palm trees makes me feel relaxed and like I’m on a constant vacation.

The “Boston Scene” never ceases to bustle; when it’s not Celtics season it’s Red Sox season. When it’s not the Bruins playing, it’s the Patriots.

It is the epicenter of the United States government crawling alongside trendy boutiques, restaurants and nightlife. Ultimately, DC is the city with something for everyone.

Only In The Bay Area
By: Alex Horowitz

You know all those songs about how California likes to party?  Well, they’re lying to you.  The bars throughout the state close at 2 am, with last call happening around 1:30.  Don’t let those L.A. people fool you about how their city is any better – the 2 am deal is statewide.


Houston.  It's Totally Worth It.
By: Anne Conderacci

Houstonians are black, white, Latino, Asian, gay, straight, rich, poor, fat, skinny, smart, stupid—you name it. In one weekend, my friends and I will go salsa dancing with flamboyant Latinos, two-stepping at a country bar with frisky baby boomers, and hit up a club featuring aspiring Pauly-D type DJs.


NY: The Enigma That Never Sleeps
By: Aaron Field

I love that I can see two free outdoor concerts in the greatest park in the world, have an all-you-can-drink brunch, and see a Picasso all within a ten block radius and all before dinner.
