>おおさか おいしい食べもの があります. (oosaka ni oishiitabemono ga asimasu) - To me this means: "There's good food in Osaka."

Here, "に:NI" would be used because it implies "when I visit" feeling.

Sorry for my personal opinion.
Thank you very much RadioKid. So does [ おおさか おいしい食べもの があります. ] sound natural to you? And in conclusion, both sentences have quite the same indication but the second one might imply more of "when I visit" feeling, right?
