Shouldn't a best-cities-in-the-world list include New York and London?

Copenhagen topped the list of the world's best cities , according to London-based lifestyle magazine Monocle. But what surprised me is that the list, which measures quality of life, skipped over London and New York (both tops on my list). Interestingly, the magazine chose to include two U.S. cities -- Honolulu and Minneapolis -- and not more obvious choices such as Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago or San Francisco.

What would your list include?

This is what London's The Independent said about the list.
