Top Things to Do

Nature

Grand Canyon, Arizona

277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep. Sunrise from the South Rim is unforgettable.

Culture

Times Square, New York

The crossroads of the world. Overwhelming, loud, and worth seeing. Best experienced at night.

Food

New Orleans Food Scene

Beignets at Cafe Du Monde, gumbo in the French Quarter, po'boys everywhere. The best food city in America.

Nature

Yellowstone National Park

The world's first national park. Geysers, hot springs, bison herds, and grizzly bears. Old Faithful erupts roughly every 90 minutes.

Culture

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

Walk or bike across for free. Best views from Battery Spencer on the Marin side. Often shrouded in fog, which makes it more dramatic.

Culture

Nashville Music Scene

Live music on Broadway every night, free. The Country Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium are worth visiting even if country isn't your thing.

Adventure

Hawaii Beaches

Waikiki, North Shore, Maui's Road to Hana. Each island has a different personality. Oahu for city + beach, Maui for luxury, Big Island for volcanoes.

Food

Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

Lou Malnati's vs Giordano's is the eternal debate. Try both. Also: the Art Institute, Millennium Park, and the architecture boat tour.
