The first is Edinburgh.

leisure magazine ,

with editions in a

hundred cities around the planet

, which has interviewed more than 200,000 urbanites to find out their opinion about what is currently cooking in their places of origin.

Chicago is placed in the number two position.

The objective of the report, which receives the name of
