Anyone who has never been out of the east coast?

First gen here never been out of the east coast except to family's country. Wondering what city out of the east coast is best to visit first.

Chicago, LA, or Seattle. Skip San Fran (sadly).

Tell us where you have already been, what you enjoy when traveling, and whether you plan to drive or fly.

Honestly, I prefer the Caribbean and Europe to most places in the USA when I’m paying for a vacation. I’ve seen most major and many smaller cities in association with business travel. They tend to be fine for a few days, but I wouldn’t pay out of pocket to visit them…especially as a vacation.

I’ve only been across to Las Vegas. Good city for gambling and partying.

I went out west a couple times and was not impressed. I occasionally go to Vegas for all the usual reasons but otherwise, if I’m going to spend 5+ hrs on a plane I’m going to Europe with that time and money. The mid Atlantic to northeast is the best part of America and it’s not close, no need to waste time and money seeing all the inferior parts. Sorry not sorry

I'm sitting here in the midwest, never having been to the East coast.

OP, what kinds of things do you like to do: museums, history, hiking/walking outdoors in nature, sports, music, etc.?

If you're bringing kids, what ages?

I think you'll get better answers if you give us some details.

I don't think that you appear as "refined" as you think you do.

Really??? How???

I encourage you to visit DC—noting the Smithsonian museums, library of Congress, zoo, monuments, etc. are FREE. Head to Annapolis, MD for a historic port city and state capital to eat crabs.

Everyone should visit NYC around Christmas as well as during spring or autumn.

Charleston and Boston are filled with history and both cities have excellent food. Ditto for New Orleans. You can head to the beach from Charleston and Boston.

Colonial Williamsburg is a must. Great vacation with kids (with nearby Busch gardens).

Never been to Florida??? Really??? So many beach towns each with a different vibe. Disney?

The Southwest- Sedona, grand canyon, Arches, Zion, Bryce. The SW feels like big on another planet in the most amazing way possible.

West coast is nice, but it's just another coast.

I grew up in San Francisco. Do not go there.

Democrats destroyed my city. It is a dangerous sh!t hole and I literally mean: the homeless sh!t on the streets so much, the city stinks all over.

I feel sorry for the homeless; everyone should. But the San Francisco homeless are mean, aggressive, and dangerous. We don’t use the word homeless out there; the unhoused people are transients. Seriously don’t go to San Francisco.
