Not sure if serious.

But assuming you are, I have to agree. You'll find something completely different than most of the other cities mentioned.

Totally agree with these guys about Detroit. There's just something about that city. Je ne sais pa. Maybe it's that the trees are of a certain height . . . .

Well, in my thought is that (and you have to realize I'm not good at staying in one place for very long on Vaca) but, I'd put togther something like Chicago/Milwaukee/Madison, or as Sepia threw in Ithaca, kind of a Buffalo/FingerLakes/Kingston and maybe all the way to Ottawa (your finger would get tired shooting that city, though not in America per se). Or more Sepia... Philly/Atlantic City and then down/around the Jersey Shore.

Just ideas. Probably not good ones.

This is good advice. Upstate New York would be a great place to just explore for a week. You could hit up Ithaca, Cornell, and the surrounding gorges; move on to the Finger Lakes and check out some of wineries (we stayed in Geneva when we were up there, which is a nice little town), maybe do some kayaking while you're there; move east and hit up the Catskills area, where there is lots of great hiking and tons of good restaurants in cool little towns like Woodstock, Tannersville, Phoenicia, and Kingston (there's also a distillery out that way that makes great absinthe, rye, and whiskey); then head south and hit up NYC with all it has to offer.

New England would be another great option if you wanted to explore a region, with locations like Western Mass, Boston, Burlington, and the coast of Maine. If you decide to do something like that and want specific recommendations on where to stay, eat, etc., just shoot me a PM and I'll do my best to offer some recommendations.

I used to date a school teacher from Geneva years ago. We were all over that part of the state, biking, drinking wine, etc..

Good times and plenty of great scenery.

It's unbelievable how untouched some of those lakes are. The west coast of Lake Seneca is mostly wineries now, but the east coast is still mostly farmland, much of it Amish.

if I were looking for both landscape and city atmosphere I would just make a trip up or down the Pacific coast highway anywhere from about Santa Barbara north through San Fran up to Point Reyes. Primarily the Monterey Penninsula, anywhere in and around San Fran and north would be ideal for both. I would have to think San Fran is right up there with NYC as the most photographed cities in the US.

I'll combine this thread and the good pizza thread......the city with the best pizza consistently is Buffalo. I've yet to find a place that had bad or even average tasting pizza.

If I had to chose between not eating great pizza or living in Buffalo I'd definitely go without pizza.

I used to spend a lot of time in the south bay, I love it there. Also, the drive on the 101 through central to southern California is unique, I've never seen countryside like that anywhere else in the world.
