In what way?

Movies are made in california. A great many computer games are made in california, and to a lesser extent the entire west coast (nintendo, microsoft, etc.)

LA is also the center for a few publishing companies, although not as many as NY. Most American shows are also made there.

Not everyone outside of america watches shows made in America (and hence LA). But I guarantee you the number's much higher than those who watch french.

You left out Kyoto, Seoul and Tokyo, and I think New Delhi would have been a better pick for an Indian cultural epicenter. Otherwise a good list though.
My vote is for Constantinople.

Since there isn't a universal, global human culture, there is no correct answer... none of the above!

LA? Nintendo?? Microsoft???

World's cultural capital is supposed to be the center of CULTURE, I hardly call a city whose biggest cultural achievment is super mario sunshine worthy of such a title

Rome and Paris should be obvious choices

as for Atlanta, I'm sure being hot, sweaty, and eating terrible fried food could be considered cultural... plus they have a racist baseball team! Racism is culture, mostly American culture...

Why? They were centers of culture in the past, but not of modern culture.

New York is the cultural leader in the current age. It is where the most forms of cultural achievement either begin or achieve their apex. It is the golden goose of culture, the Babylon of our times.

I see that starting to fade, but it is still the pre-eminent cultural center.

I voted for NY, and would regardless if Berlin was there or not (though it should be).

And who is a fanatic?

Yup, how come there's not even a single german city in the list?

Actually listing Chicago twice is a GREAT way to undermine its chances for success! He split the vote!
I'm really really really hoping that instead of the second chucago you really meant to put Boston because we CERTAINLY have more culture than chicago and atlanta COMBINED!

LA, because Long Beach was the home of Sublime, and culture died with Brad.

Berlin is a rather notable omission. Madrid, Lisbon, and Vienna are as well. You can't knock S and M's list too much though.
