Metro Detroiters envy others all the time. We're always hoping that our city could be desirable. We're always hoping that people would move here, do business here, visit here and so on.

Well, simply wishing doesn't do anybody any good. Complaining here on DetroitYes, or bitching about how much life sucks here won't do anybody any good either.

Here's a list of cities that folks love to be at, because they enjoy good times there, they make an honest effort to spend their vacation days and spend their hard-earned money there. They have fun there, and make plans to return - in other words, Repeat Customers !

So, Detroit wants to be #1 ? Well, unlike other lists, this one provides numbers to help mold a road-map so that Metro Detroiters have metrics to go by:

1. New York, N.Y.
Restaurants: 35,421
Bars: 3,844
Nightclubs: 400
Museums: 734
Live Theater Venues: 710
Sports Venues: 57
Sports Teams: 7
Forbes' Best Cities For The Outdoors Ranking: No. 21

Let's strive to beat those numbers ..... or at least come close to them.
