Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, NYC, Miami if you're a big nightlife person, Vegas. That's just for cities you'll have fun in. There's a lot of national parks that are pretty chill as well
Looking to visit the US in a year or two and trying to gauge the best places to go.

Would driving Route 66 be something worth doing? How about Boston and Chicago?
You could take route 66 from SoCal to the Midwest. I think it ends in Chicago.
Never been to Boston or chi so idk what to tell you
Chicago is awesome. I would skip Vegas.
Depends entirely upon what you're into. My three favorite US cities are San Francisco, New Orleans, and New York, so would suggest prioritizing some or all of them.
Vegas not all its hyped up to be?
I think out of every person I've known to go to the US, one of those three cities is always a favourite.. they'll be a high priority I think
Route 66 sucks; don't do that garbage. If you have any level of fitness then Yosemite, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Beartooths, Glacier, and Sequoia are can't miss. I'd imagine some of the areas in the northwest like the Cascades and Crater Lake are pretty amazing too, but never been. Grand Canyon too if you're coming in the late fall to early spring (summer you'll get yourself killed doing anything strenuous in it). The whole state of Utah is spectacular if you like brightly-colored deserts and it is filled with parks. San Francisco and San Diego are both awesome cities to visit. LA is ty if you do the tourist thing with Santa Monica & Hollywood, but is pretty awesome if you do some research into the cool there. Never been up to Seattle or Victoria, B.C., but friends say it's awesome. Stay out of Texas, as it's a ty place for a vacation anywhere but the west end of the state.
Definitely NYC and Vegas. You could fill a good amount of days with just a few miles of the Strip. No driving or getting lost and you'll never be bored. NYC is obviously #1. Manhattan is too cool of an experience to miss
Why anyone outside this country would wanna waist their visiting time in New Orleans is beyond me. Don't give me the cultural argument bull either
Good places to eat, good shows, lots of nightlife, but the city gets old quick. It's a fun place to go for a weekend trip when you live close-by, but I wouldn't spend a lot of time there unless you're really good at poker or something.
I'm going to suggest Jersey City, Flint, Ft. Wayne, Fresno, and Little Rock
good times![]()
No East Saint Louis? Also, if he's looking for a California hole he should pick Merced.
Gary, son.
I'd argue the point, but I'm guessing that someone who sees Vegas as essential to a USA vacation and I are destined to disagree.
I had a great time in New Orleans but avoided the French Quarter for the most part, and it wasn't terribly humid in Mid January. Would love to go back.
NYC is amazing though, there is so much to do in Manhatttan alone. Coney island in Brooklyn and the NY zoo is Bronx is fun too. It'd take you a week just to scratch the surface in manhattan
Merced
Cen Cal
On the real tip... Minneapolis is a highly underrated city, especially in terms of the music scene. Just don't go in the winter
It's only hinted at here, but I second the suggestion of the general Pacific Northwest region. Lived in Humboldt County for a few years and made the drive to Portland a few times. The argument could be made that there's not a huge amount to do in the area (it would be an argument with which I disagree, but it could be made), but the rugged coast and redwoods are every bit as gorgeous as they're cracked up to be.
The Quarter is great. Bourbon Street should be avoided like the plague. But I've lived here now for a hair over two years and haven't even made a dent in all the things there are to do.
My first experience with the French Quarter involved LSD and a neverending quest for Trent Reznor's house
I forgot to mention Colorado. Colorado and Utah are probably the two prettiest states in the lower 48 overall (obviously Hawaii and Alaska are in classes all their own).
Somewhere in the Northeast unless you plan on hopping a lot of planes. You can visit Boston, New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, etc etc, and they're all mostly within 10 hours of each other. And if you're an outdoorsy person, the New England area has some pretty spectacular fall foliage, skiing, hiking, biking, swimming, etc etc.
How are you going to hate on Bourbon Street? I love the crush of people, that smell of vomit and urine, grabbing a Hand Grenade, hitting up an overpriced strip club, and then finishing the night up with some Krystals burgers.
You'd have found it sooner if you were in the Garden District.
