1. Atlantic City Beach and Boardwalk
The Atlantic City Boardwalk was definetely one of the highlights of my vacation to the East Coast last summer. The city itself is alot like an Island because it is separated from the mainland, if not for connecting roadways I'm sure you would need a…More »
2. Ben & Jerry's Waterbury Plant
Waterbury, VT 05676
(802) 882-1240
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Tours
There was a wow factor and a disapointing factor to the Ben & Jerry's tour. What wowed me was how it was situated, right in the mountains, it was like something most places would show in an ad as where they were located when reality is much…More »
3. Cathedral of Learning
If your into architecture like me, you should really make the Cathedral of Learning Tower a destination. Not only is this one of the finest, and tallest Gothic buildings in the U.S., but each of it's classrooms display a different architectural style…More »
4. Central Park
I came here with high expectations, and not only were those met but the place actually wowed me beyond what I thought a park could ever do. Its the biggest park I've seen in a City, and is surrounded by all kinds of gorgeous buildings, and…More »
5. Church Street Marketplace
Church Street was hands down the nicest and most charming pedestrian only mall I've been to. Hate to say it but it even outdoes Nicollet Mall where I'm from in Minneapolis, and it is actually entirely auto free instead of allowing busses and cabs as…More »
6. Chrysler Building
New York, NY 10174
Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Midtown East
The five stars is for the building only. I'm sure many people would have docked the building's rating because of the way tourists like myself get treated by the building's management. However that would make my favorite skyscraper look bad and my…More »
7. Empire State Building
New York, NY 10118
(212) 736-3100
Categories:
Tours,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Koreatown, Midtown East
The best feature of the Empire State Building is in my opinion the Observation Deck. It offers amazing views in every direction and doesn't give you that unsafe feeling like so many tall buildings have. It's really nice to be able to enjoy the view…More »
8. Fenway Park
It's really hard to choose between Wrigley and Fenway as to which is my favorite of the last 2 classic ballparks left in the Country. Since I live in Minneapolis I've been to Wrigley way more times than Fenway, I'm into the brickey, appearance of…More »
9. Findlay Market
Cincinnati, OH 45202
(513) 665-4839
Categories:
Farmers Market,
Ethnic Food,
Meat Shops
Neighbourhood: Over-the-Rhine
I made the mistake of not making Cincy a destination on a recent travel, luckily I had enough time to see a few places all of which were great. Findlay Market was one of them.
I can't give it 5 stars because I did'nt actually eat anything from here…More »
10. Forbes Field Outfield Wall
Ever since a very young age I've had a fascination with classic ballparks, maybe it goes back to a family trip through Chicago back in 1991 when old Comiskey Park was being torn down, such a maddening site. Later on that same trip we all wen't to the…More »
11. Golden Ox Restaurant
The Golden Ox has some of the best steak I've ever had, not nearly as good as Murray's where I live in Minneapolis but it is delicious. The dining atmosphere's nice too, finest Western style decor I've seen but when I first pulled in I thought I…More »
12. Jefferson National Expansion Memorial
St Louis, MO 63102
(877) 982-1410
Categories:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings,
Museums,
Parks
Neighbourhood: Downtown
The Gateway Arch is one of the coolest monuments I've ever seen, just behind the Statue of Liberty and the Washington Monument. It's definetely the coolest tourist destination of this sort in the Midwest. This part of the St Louis Riverfront is…More »
13. Miller Brewing Company
Milwaukee, WI 53208
(414) 931-2337
Categories:
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Tours
Neighbourhood: Miller Valley
You simply can't go to Milwaukee and not see the city's many large Historic breweries, they're all magnificent. Miller is the only one of Milwaukee's big 3 brewers still operating in the city. Schlitz has mostly offices in it now as well as a really…More »
14. Mount Washington
The view of Pittsburgh from the lookouts atop Mt Washington is one of the nicest views I've ever seen of a city, it is spectacular. I wasn't aware that there were actually restaraunts up here or that the incline rail will take you to it. I'll…More »
15. Murray Avenue Grill
Pittsburgh, PA 15217
(412) 521-1272
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Squirrel Hill
I've been to Pittsburgh twice and on my recent visit decided to check out the Squirrel Hill area, I'd been by there on my last visit and it looked like a good place for good food. Just like NYC one of the biggest dilemas in Pittsburgh is deciding…More »
16. Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, NY 14302
(716) 278-0337
Categories:
Parks,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Niagra Falls is the most spectacular creation of nature that I've ever seen. Besides how scenic it is it's also got the best mist and the most awesome waterfall sound I've yet experienced. I've heard that this is actually one of the 7 wonders of the…More »
17. Nick's Hamburger Shop
Nick's is still the best, they make a better burger than anyplace in the Twin Cities and anyplace I've yet been in the whole U.S. They're so good I must admit that visiting relatives isn't the only reason I come to the Brookings area. Since my…More »

I used to go here 4 or 5 times a year because my Grandparents lived on a farm nearby, the burgers… Read more »
18. Packinghouse Dining Company
This was where I ate while in Galesburg, I was feeling like steak so the Packinghouse sounded good. The dining atmosphere here is very different, I've never seen anything like it. I always get exited when I see something unlike anything I've seen…More »
19. Point State Park
I've been to Pittsburgh twice, once in 2007 and and another time last Summer. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get up close to both the point where the 3 rivers meet and the huge fountain in that area. If that was open and I was able to stand at…More »
20. Seminary Street Historic Commercial District
Galesburg is a charming old RR town that still has a passenger rail service. The city not only has an Amtrak Depot but the station is right on Historic Seminary Street which is a very well preserved, small town feelin commercial area. There are many…More »
21. SDSU Dairy Bar
While visiting relatives in the area my Dad and I stopped here after it was suggested by one of my aunts. It was conveniently located near the 'Old Barn' an old college auditorium that my Dad played some tournament games in back in his high school…More »
22. Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty is a must see in New York, whether that is going on the Island itself or passing by it day or night on the free Staten Island Ferry. Every big tourist attraction in NY, or anywhere for that matter has huge lines. If I was to…More »
23. Surf Ballroom & Convention Center
Clear Lake, IA 50428
(641) 357-6151
Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,
Restaurants,
Nightlife
I really enjoy watching concerts here, especially when they get some of the legendary singers and bands from the 50's and 60's which they do quite often. At one time I came down here three years in a row for 50's in Febuary. This is an event they…More »
24. Talk of the Town
While in Philadelphia I was amazed at just how hard it was for me to find a stinkin Philly Cheesesteak joint. This city isn't the nicest place to be looking around either because unless you have a reliable GPS system its real easy to wander off the…More »
25. Underground Atlanta
Atlanta, GA 30303
(404) 523-2311
Categories:
Shopping Centers,
Amusement Parks
Neighbourhood: Downtown
The Atlanta Underground is a unique concept, although when I first heard about it I assumed it had some relation to the Underground Railroad and was more historical than it actually was.
I too had experiences with interesting characters here,…More »
26. Washington Monument
It was such a long time ago that I was up in the Washington Monument so I can't tell you anything more than it's a gorgeous structure located in one of the most spectacular parklands I've been to, I think only Central Park in New York beats it,
It's…More »
