[Jase]

Philly

San Fran

NYC

Boston

Chicago

[SCP]

Are we talking foreigner like from another country or foreigner like from upstate New York?

[SCP]

Or are you talking concert venues for a Foreigner reunion tour?

[Snake]

I'm not sure why people are recommending Miami. I mean if you want to see Hispanic culture sure but New York or Chicago would be better mix.

[Davidson Deac II]

New York

Boston

DC

 

After that though, there are far better places to see that are not cities.  In no particular order

 

Gettysburg

Yellowstone

Several Virginia Historical sites (Yorktown, Williamsburg, Arlington, etc...)

Blue Ridge Parkway

Grand Canyon

Thank you man, I think stay there for like 20 days is ok for me. I'd like to take a deep look for each city I visit, so I guess I should cut my list to 3.

I would strongly consider Pittsburgh.  You will get the large city experience with a small town feel five minutes out of town.  It is literally a place where three rivers come together, has bridges, is surrounded by mountains (which are really big hills), and has homes on hillsides. To me it's kind of like a big Asheville but with a more diverse population.  You can also visit the Carnegie Museum, the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, and the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium.  I recommend staying in Mount Washington.

 

I would also strongly consider Atlanta, as this will give you a feeling for the South.  You can travel some of the surrounding towns to truly appreciate the culture, but in the city, you definitely would want to visit the High Museum (beautiful art), the Underground (basically a mall), and the Cyclorama which will teach you some history about the Civil War.  Zoo Atlanta is world class, also.  Within the greater metro area, particularly downtown, you can pretty much take MARTA anywhere you need to go (which is an experience unto itself, some of the stations anyway). Oh, yeah, I almost forgot to recommend the Sundia Restaurant.  It spins while you dine, and you will experience gorgeous views.

 

Some have mentioned Colorado.  Denver is a clean and beautiful city.  I stayed at the Double Tree there years ago.  I went to a quaint area where the Tattered Cover Bookstore is located.  You may also want to take a trip of the Coors Brewery.  I finished my trip with a tour to a mountain town called Black Hawk, Colorado, where there were some decent restaurants and casinos.  The countryside is just gorgeous. I rented a car and went to some town where my wife's old friend worked and lived. Like I said, I just remember being impressed with how clean and beautiful it was.  The only city that struck me with a greater first impression of its physical beauty was Salt Lake City.

 

On an off note, If you get the chance to drive into Pittsburgh from the south (I376), you'll be rolling along thinking that you are literally in a rural part of Pennsylvania. You'll roll into the Pitt Tunnel for a little bit, and once you come out "BAM!" the city is there in all it's majesty.  

 

Well, that's my three cents---a penny for every city. Whatever you do, take care, be safe, and enjoy the trip!

Austin sucks, stay far far away.   ;)

[Scrumtrilescent]

You may need to let people know what types of things you are into before giving more accurate recommendations.  Inefficient to send a country boy to the city and a hippie to, well anywhere.  

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

San Diego should be on every list.

[Memphis]

Been to:

 

Houston

San Antonio

Austin

Dallas

New York

 

so far. And Austin is my favourite by a mile. Loved the atmosphere in the city, The music and the bars.

 

This summer my GF and I are going to

 

Vancouver (Canada)

Seattle

San Fran

Las Vegas

 

Tried to squeeze in Charlotte on the way home (only had a 1 hour in the airport so far and it pains me), but it didnt fly with the GF and work this time around.

 

My next trip to the states will be on the east cost with at least 1 Panthers home game at BOA:

If you want to see the real America that made this country what it was until about 25 years ago ( when in fact it was a great nation) then forget either coast and forget all the big cities and go to the north end of route 66 and start driving. Look route 66 up on the internet and you will understand.

[jayflip]

San Diego should be on every list.

It really should be. fug LA. Come to the stereotypical surfer town and chill. The wildfires stopped so you don't have to worry about that... plus, depending on when you're planning your trip there's all sorts of fun things to do. End of Sept/Early Aug are some of the best times to go snorkeling off La Jolla coves for the leopard shark spawning season. You'll see 100's upon 100's of these awesome critters swimming below you looking to bang it out with each other. Then you can surf and drink beers and have a California Burrito (life is not lived until you eat one of those). After all your fun in the sun, the nightlife here is awesome. Good weed too. Oh and it doesn't stink here.

New Orleans has that special, all-day-long smell of urine in the air.  Don't want him to miss that.
