I’m back with another highly subjective list! There are so many places we’ve been around the country, but also so many places we haven’t, and I can only choose places I’ve been so feel free to recommend future trips! The pics are mine 🙂
New York City. Jason and I had visited a few times before we lived in midtown Manhattan from May – October 2000. We go back as much as we can, next trip June. I love the energy.
Washington D.C. Jason and I met when we were both living in the DC area and lived there for 3 years (1995-1998). I’d move back in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose. So much history and so much to do.
San Francisco, California. I’ve been there twice, once in my 20’s and once in my 30’s and loved the coastal city both times. Beautiful and charming.
New Orleans, Louisiana. One visit in high school (1987) was all it took to appreciate the charm and culture shock of this city.
Boston, Massachusetts. We visited a few years ago and I fell in love with the history and vibe of the city.
Niagara Falls, New York. One of my favorite places is standing under the Bridal Falls on the US side of the Falls. After that I recommend heading across the border and spending the rest of your day on the Canadian side 🙂
Santa Monica, California. Or somewhere around there. I lived in West LA in the summer of 1994 and loved the access to so many of the beach communities.
Kelleys Island, Ohio. I love big cities, but we discovered a little 4 mile island on Lake Erie only an hour from Cleveland that enables us to disconnect and take a deep breath.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We’ve visited here a few times because it’s so close to home. Love the big city museums, the water, and the smaller city feel.- A tie because I can’t make up my mind and I’m not wasting any more time one this 🙂 Burlington, Vermont, Denver, Colorado, or Houston, Texas. What’s your vote?
What are your favorite US cities?

Nice to see that SF made your list. I’d love to see the other places too. Travel in the US is on my bucket list.
Now that Gage is 7 I see more trips in our immediate future!
Forget Houston and put Austin there instead! And if you haven’t been here, come. There’s lots to see and do – plus there’s me! LOL
I’ve always wanted to visit Austin! I’ll let you know when it makes it on the calendar 🙂
You should go to NYC a little earlier so you can experience BEA. My city didn’t make your list. 😉
I agree with Kay on Austin > Houston.
Los Angeles
San Diego
Las Vegas
Austin
San Antonio
Chicago
New Orleans
Savannah
Washington DC
NYC
I’m hoping to get to Savannah this fall! And Austin and San Antonio in the future. I’m one of the rare few who finds Las Vegas depressing. But maybe I just didn’t do it right 🙂
NY and Washington DC – yeah! The only other city I have visited was Chicago, which was pretty cool too 🙂

Pleased that I have been to almost all your cities. Definitely, add to the list CHICAGO. It is a clean, easy to navigate, great public transportation, food, culture….a city of neighborhoods and the architecture is amazing. During the #Challenge I write about a famous bookstore in Chicago that set the standard for how they work today. I must add as a PS: Charleston.
I’ve been to Chicago twice but didn’t really spend enough time to put it on the list 🙂 I’ll have to check out your posts! I’m hoping my hubby and I will take a Savannah/Charleston trip this fall.
I totally agree with Pittsburgh.
