An incredible melting pot of cultures, neighborhoods, languages, and personal styles, a stroll down any street in Manhattan is always a fascinating experience. Classic old buildings exist shoulder-to-shoulder with new ultra-modern ones like Hudson Yards, constantly morphing the city’s identity into exciting new molds. When in town, indulge in more than one Broadway show, visit all the museums, stroll around Central Park, eat the best bagels in NYC and any drool-worthy haute cuisine you can manage, drink at a speakeasy, catch a Yankee game or a US Open match and start wondering why you haven’t moved here yet. It's just a great place to visit, I think it's one of the most need to visit when you are in the United States.]]> 2021-09-24 04:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764818183 Boston valtersbikernieks https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764837923 Boston is a great place to visit because of its history and modernity. Boston is one of America's first big cities and still one of its best. It’s the place where federal architecture harkens back to the 1600s, juxtaposed with ultra-modern buildings by Frank Gehry, Walter Gropius, and I.M. Pei. Speaking of architecture: be sure to see the Back Bay row houses, usual Instagram fodder that is actually eye-catching and a must-see. From chowder to lobster rolls, Boston also loves its seafood, so be sure to visit the city's best raw bars and lobster shacks while you're in town. If you’re visiting Boston between April and October, going on a whale-watching cruise is a must. Sail into Boston Harbor and then out into the open ocean as you search for humpback, finback, minke, and pilot whales. Regardless of whether the whales are out to play, you’ll have the cruise of a lifetime. ]]> 2021-09-24 04:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764837923 Washington, DC. valtersbikernieks https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764867558 One of America’s most beautiful cities, stately Washington, D.C. just keeps getting better. The National Mall is truly majestic, with the Capitol building glowing at one end, the Lincoln Memorial at the other, and the various Smithsonian museums lining each side. See them all, but plan to spend extra time at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Beyond politics, monuments, and museums, D.C. boats some cool, emerging neighborhoods like the Wharf (eat at Officina or Del Mar de Fabio Trabochi there) and Southeast, where the Nationals play baseball and craft beer rules at Bardo Brewing and Bluejacket nearby. It's amazing that you are able to visit a lot of places there for free, like Smithsonian Museums; view the poignant Lincoln, Jefferson, and Martin Luther King Jr. Memorials; get a free tour of the US Capitol; check out the art at the National Gallery of Art, and get a look at the original Declaration of Independence at the National Archives. I think it's an amazing place to visit in the US because you are able to visit a lot of amazing places and see American culture there.]]> 2021-09-24 04:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764867558 Los Angeles valtersbikernieks https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764876992 Sun, sand, and movies in which the city is often the star make Los Angeles a place the world wants to see in real life. Start at the Hotel Erwin's rooftop in Venice for an expansive view of the whole city, then explore everything from the ocean to mountains as you criss-cross L.A. County. Expect its famous traffic to slow you down as you head to Malibu for a surfing session, make a pit stop at the Getty Museum, then step in the stars’ footprints at TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, blow your shopping budget on Rodeo Drive, then head south to Anaheim to pilot the Millenium Falcon at Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge universe. It's a great place to visit because of its opportunities, you are able to do a lot of amazing things there.]]> 2021-09-24 04:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764876992 Grand Canyon valtersbikernieks https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764885594 Words can’t accurately describe how incredible the Grand Canyon is. It’s breathtaking in so many ways —its sheer size, fantastic depth, red hues, and striking vistas. Most people simply stand at the edge of the canyon and look out across it, but its true size and beauty are best appreciated with a hike down to the bottom. Make the time to hike down to the Colorado River, hike the less visited trails, spend the night, and hike back up for sunset. It's just amazing for all of it, go there and see just a scenic view you don't be able to see in your life so far. Simply amazing, wonderful this place is.]]> 2021-09-24 05:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764885594 Surfing valtersbikernieks https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764889341 Just a very amazing way how to spend your time in the US, just go surfing and enjoy a great time, great view and activity I think you liked a lot.]]> 2021-09-24 05:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764889341 Basketball valtersbikernieks https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764895635 If you visit America I just recommend that you at least watch one basketball game there. Because basketball is very popular there, also there is the best basketball league in the world, so I think you are able to enjoy a very great experience there because you will be able to see all the best players in the world at this moment. I would enjoy this moment and I hope you also.]]> 2021-09-24 05:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764895635 Baseball valtersbikernieks https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764900680 Also, a very good activity to do there, baseball is one of the popular sports there, I recommend that you watch one game there, or if you are interested just try yourself maybe you become the greatest.]]> 2021-09-24 05:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764900680 Best traditional USA dishes to try valtersbikernieks https://padlet.com/valtersbikernieks/8gtwfgee6ucg3grj/wish/1764913301 1. Apple Pie
The saying is "American as apple pie" for a reason: this sweet treat is a national institution. Forget anybody who will try to tell you pecan or key lime is better, because they are lying. The simple combination of sugar, buttery pastry and tart sliced apples produces a dessert so extraordinary people have devoted their entire lives to perfecting it. For a particularly excellent example, try the apple pie with added green chilies at the Pie-O-Neer, in Pie Town, New Mexico.
2. The Hamburger
Every single American will have a different idea about where to find the best hamburger in the country, ranging from fast food on the West Coast (In-N-Out Burger) to fine dining in New York (The Spotted Pig). But only one place is recognised by the Library of Congress as being the birthplace of hamburgers: New Haven, Connecticut. The year was 1900 and the establishment was Louis' Lunch, run by one Louis Lassen.
3. Clam Chowder
It is basically illegal to visit Boston without trying New England clam chowder. The fragrant soup is sold everywhere, and it looks hideous, being white and lumpy. But one taste is all it takes to fall in love. Whoever decided to mix the quahog shellfish with tender potatoes, salted pork, heavy cream and herbs is a total genius. There are many ways to eat it, but you may as well go all out and get a bread bowl at the Atlantic Fish Co., where the chefs carve out a cavity in a fresh boule, pour in the heavenly juice, then put the top back on.
4. Bagel and Lox
Trying to narrow New York down to a single representative cuisine is a fool's errand. A Nathan's hot dog? Pastrami from Katz's? A bad cup of diner coffee? Let's pay respects to the city's strong Jewish population and go with bagels and lox, a weekend staple on many Manhattan tables.
5. Deep-Dish Pizza
Pizza in Chicago looks and tastes different. The dish is deep, as the name suggests, meaning the crust rises high and allows for an artery-choking volume of cheese and tomato sauce. Unsurprisingly, they call it a "pie". It is not for the lighthearted and should only be attempted while wearing dark clothes or a large napkin. For a particularly authentic meal, pair the pie with sugary soda. You might like to do this at an Uno Pizzeria, which claims to have invented the Italian American hybrid dish in 1943.
