Norilsk Russia is tops: it's all about fresh, locally cultivated organic and artisanal ingredients.

Oh yea, Mumbai is a cesspool, when I think of cool Asian cities I think of Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul and Singapore.

Agreed. Mumbai is not one of them.

I think New Yorkers would envy (yes envy!) the Tokyo mass transit system once they see it first hand. The city is huge with several midtown looking districts, Shinjuku train station rush hour makes New York rush hour small in comparison. New York needs to catch up, 'cause it's way behind many Asian cities.

A lot of cities in the world have far more things comparing to nyc but most of them are unacknowledged. Claiming nyc is the food center of the universe is just plain arrogant. but i must admit nyc is certainly unique.

I don't even compare Tokyo with New York, because the former is just way ahead of everything else. London and Paris, yeah.
