Top 3 cities for an internship?

which of these are the best cities in terms of night life, girls, things to do, careers/networking, for an intern? have to rank my top 2 choices for an internship but not sure which to put for 2. NYC is my 1. 

im interested in a career in consulting if that matters, but this will be an internship for summer after sophomore year so still some time until I enter the workforce.

Whichever you prefer between Boston, Chicago and LA imo. NYC as #1

SF is a tough city and the rest are smaller regional markets, most people interning in those markets will have family/connections there
