Transform list items to string

In C# I have a list like this:

    List<string> cities = new List<string>();
    cities.Add("New York");
    cities.Add("Mumbai");
    cities.Add("Berlin");
    cities.Add("Istanbul");

I want to save the items of the list in a string variable like this:

string info = "'New York', 'Mumbai', 'Berlin', 'Istanbul'";

How can I achieve this?

Use Join() and Linq Select()

string info = string.Join(", ", cities.Select(x => '\'' + x + '\''));

or accoring to Tim's suggestion (C# 6.0)

string info = string.Join(", ", cities.Select(c => $"'{c}'"));
