where is the best place in the US to visit in June(summer)?

Question

I will have about 2 weeks for vacation. My friend would like to visit NY, Las Vegas, and SF for a few days. Where else should I think about?

Answer 1

I LOVE NYC!
Here are some ideas of what you can do. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:
Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.
UPPER WEST SIDE:
Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,
Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.
MIDTOWN:
Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Museum of Modern Art
Sony Bldg
Rockefeller Center
Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats!
Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington.
Empire State Bldg.
The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids.

CHELSEA:
Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun.

WALL ST:
Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve. Seaport area is great to see.

THE VILLAGE:
Funky shops in the West Village. Walk through the NYU Washington Square Park. The East Village has some shops from new artists and designers

SOHO:
Great galleries and shops on n off West Broadway. Walk thru to Little Italy for awesome meals and desserts...walk through Chinatown. CANAL STREET has stall after stall of Designer "copies"...bring cash and bargain and watch your purse!

These should put an awesome smile on your face. Bring your camera and takes lots of photos to remember your trip. You'll have a blast! OH...BUY this weekly magazine: TIMEOUT NEW YORK on any newstand to see what's going on each week/day. :)

Answer 2

It depends what you like. Are you into natural wonder or big city thrills? All the cities you list have big city attractions and are close to natural beauty.

Heads up though SF is cold this time of year - the best time to see SF is typically late summer September and October. Low clouds and nice weather. If you hit SF go to Sausilito and Napa and south to Santa Cruz/ Capitola

Answer 3

I went to Colorado and northern New Mexico last month...loved it. Las Vegas is hot in June, but I suppose you'd be inside most of the time anyway.

Answer 4

Disney World
San Diego
Miami
Atlanta

Answer 5

Grand Canyon

Answer 6

There's endless stuff to do in N.Y.
Las Vegas is like adult disneyland w/ the yummiest of buffets.
San Francisco has the beach, the redwoods nearby, city life, and pleanty of pot.

Answer 7

Gary, Indiana.

Kidding aside -

Lake Tahoe, CA & Twin Lakes, CA or Mammoth Lakes, CA.
