NYC gets a bad rap - it wasn't that bad. Easily the filthiest city I've ever been to is New Orleans. Twice, and both times it struck me as disgusting. Even pre-Katrina.

Which is not to say I wouldn't go there again, but it was truly gross.

What say you?

Of the large US cities, New Orleans barely edges out Chicago.

The filthiest, nastiest, most disgusting city I've ever visited is Tijuana.

Is Chicago disgusting? Because I made a friend last time I flew through, and there's a plan in place for me to actually spend a few days there next time I'm on my way somewhere.

I haven't been there in a long time. If you stick to the business and tourist areas wasn't bad at all. But it just takes a wrong turn and two blocks later :twitch:

I have to say that in the U.S., hands down the filthiest city I have been to lately is Detroit. Not only filthy. but decrepit and decaying.

In the states: New Orleans, smells of urine and is just filthy. In the world: Karachi, Pakistan followed closely by Mombasa, Kenya. People pooping in the streets, dead animals all over,............ I have to stop now, I just threw up in my mouth a little thinking about those places.

I hear Lusaka hasn't seen a trash truck since the Bear left in the late 80's.

Port au Prince, Haiti narrowly beats out Bombay, India.

Over here SE DC ties with Newark, NJ. If Marion Barry was still mayor then DC hands down, no contest.

On a different note I saw an ice cream flavor recently called Marion Berry Pie. It was Tillamook dairy brand. I thought it was a name like the Ben & Jerry's do with say Cherry Garcia. But turns out there is a real Marion berry and it wasn't a joke flavor. I bought some and it was quite good.

I am going to have to agree w/ that :lol: I guess Tijuana and Ensenda are tied as nastiest imo though.

My parents actually said Greece was disgusting and dirty. I havent been there though so cant vouch for that.

I have never been Port-Au-Prince before the earthquake but it is now hands down the nastiest place I have ever been. And I have been to some real nasty places in Africa, Europe, and Asia.

In My Opinion
Detroit is my pick from the cities Ive been to.
Seattle might be the cleanest, that or Denver

Kampala, Uganda is the dirtiest city I have been to. Nawlins takes a bad rap due to the sheer nature of Bourbon St - sure it smells like urine and has trash strewn about - but that is what happens when you put 100s of bars on one street and invite the entire region to party every night. I found the rest of Nawlins to be fairly clean for a city of its size.
