M is tough. Have you noticed how the coolest city in a lot of countries starts with M? Manchester, Mumbai, Milan - all great cities. Marseilles, Munich, Mexico City - it's getting embarrassing now. Moscow? How cool is Moscow? Real cool, but...

It's going to come down to Montreal and Melbourne. 

The case for Melbourne: So painfully cool: amazing coffee in amazing alleys with amazing street art. 

Montreal, though? Once you escape the poutine-filled old town, it's painfully cool. Everywhere looks like an art gallery. I saw Jazzy Jeff DJ a street party. That's cool right? Less penguins than Melbourne, but more croburgers.
