We know, we're awesome.  Conde Nast Traveler announced today that its readers voted San Francisco the #1 city to visit in the U.S. This marks the 16th year in a row that SF has won.   We beat out number two Charleston (side note, what?), number three NYC, number four  Santa Fe and number five Chicago.  You can try, but you can't beat The Bay.  Just look outside today...

Here are the results:

1.    San Francisco

2.    Charleston, SC

3.    New York City

4.    Santa Fe

5.    Chicago

6.    Carmel

7.    Honolulu

8.    Savannah

9.    San Diego

10. Sedona
