New York best place to live for men

NEW YORK has beaten Chicago as the world’s best city to live in 2010 if you’re a man, coming up trumps in both professional and personal fields, according to a survey.

The poll, by men’s website Askmen.com, ranked 29 cities across the globe based on how good they are for men to live, work and play, based on data that includes the number of holidays, the ratio of men to women, the weather, the unemployment rate and new restaurant and club openings.

Despite being battered by the global economic crisis, New York took the top spot, with Melbourne, Australia, coming in second. Tokyo was third and Madrid and London rounded off the top five.
