most overrated "popular" major travel city?
I'm talking about the biggies here. London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, etc. The major cities and capitals of the world.
What is your most overrated?

Washington DC....
...for a world capital very dissappointing.
The museums and galleries are fine, but the povery is unbelievable, the hotels are only so so, and the food is mediocre at best (one would think with all the different ethnicities living there at least the ethnic food would be good---hardly)
The traffic is appalling and no real night life.

For the US, I say Los Angeles.
For South America, I say Sao Paolo.
For Europe, I say Milan.
For Asia, I say Delhi.
For Africa, I saw Cairo.
For Australia/New Zealand, I've never been to a disappointing city there.
