How would you rate Belfast?

Seems the NYT has given it the thumbs up

All the crap petty politics and crime etc aside, (you'll get this in every city be it stabbings, muggings, petty politics etc) how would you rate Belfast as a city??

    I love Belfast, it has everything you need such as gyms, cinemas, theatres, sporting events and shops etc.

    There is a cleanliness and rubbish issue though that needs to be tackled, I've had to contact the council on numerous occasions to get certain areas tidied.
  • Belfast needs proper street signage

    I don't know who tourists get round the place without name plaques on every corner
    NO MORE HANDWASH GLITCHES PLEASE :D:D

    Now! Now! If you can't say something nice about someone say
    nothing at all.
    Be good to the young on their way up you might need them on your way down.

    An unjustified and unsubstantiated view.

    I hate Belfast, although probably as I work in the City Centre!

    I love it and work in the city centre too. Why do you not like it?

    I think personally people do not appreciate what they have on their doorstep until it's gone.......
    I'm not from Belfast originally, (Tyrone Culchie born and bred I'm afraid) and I love Belfast... So much to do for the family, especially the kids..... Try living in the !!!! of Tyrone, you have to drive everywhere, you're miles from your nearest town, no shops other than the local Mace or Spar, NO Broadband.... well nothing over 1mb so get used to that "buffering" message, No public Transport to speak of, No street lighting and no real jobs other than farming.......
