Give me the town

Hi there,

Would anyone please let me know the meaning of the following underlined?

"I have such good friends. After a late lunch, I might go and play Scrabble with a Russian lady. I write poetry en route, on buses and trains. I love London. Give me the town over the country any day. I try to go to Moscow every year in the coldest weather."

Regards,

Iman
