Answer 1

Consider visiting New Orleans.

Things to do:

Mardi Gras and the Jazz Festival are world famous events, but New Orleans hosts many festivals and celebrations throughout the year:  www.nola.com/festivals

The Saint Charles Streetcar is the oldest continuously operating street railway in the world and is a "tourist attraction" in its own right.  It is part of the public transit system, as are the Canal Street and Riverfront streetcar lines:  www.norta.com

There is always music, but the bands change: Go to www.bestofneworleans.com and click on Music then Listings or to www.offbeat.com and click on Listings, then Music.

Note that music clubs often advertise "No Cover", meaning there is no charge for entering. However, clubs with "No Cover" often require that customers buy a beverage each for every "set " of music (which can be every 20 minutes) so KNOW THE PRICE before you sit down. Clubs do that because some people will sit in the club all evening drinking nothing (clubs only make money from the drinks they sell - not from the music). It is also a good idea to pay for each round of drinks (in clubs on Bourbon Street) as it is delivered so there can't be any confusion at the end of the evening.

An incomplete guide to bars & clubs:   http://www.neworleanscheapdrinks.com/

About certain alcoholic beverages:  Realize that some famous drinks are VERY potent compared with regular cocktails that have only 1 to 1 ½ ounces of alcohol. For example, a Hurricane is basically 3 or 4 ounces of rum in something like red Kool-Aid, and a Hand Grenade has at least 4 ½ ounces of Everclear + rum + vodka mixed with melon liquor.  They don’t necessarily taste like an alcoholic beverage and it is easy to over-indulge.

Wander around the French Quarter, enjoy the architecture, watch the street entertainers (do tip), and visit some of the historic buildings that have been turned into museums (go to www.frenchquarter.com and click on Historic Attractions).

Assuming the weather is good, you can collect a sandwich lunch and eat in the riverfront park (watch the shipping) or in Jackson Square (a very nice park).

The Riverwalk shopping center has an air-conditioned food court with dining overlooking the river (www.riverwalkmarketplace.com).  The Canal Place shopping center is in the French Quarter and has a cinema and higher-end shopping (Saks 5th Avenue, Brooks Brothers, etc.)

The lobby for the Westin Canal Place Hotel is on the 11th floor and overlooks the French Quarter. It is a great place for an afternoon drink/snack:(www.westin.com).

Cafe du Monde is in the French Quarter and you shouldn't miss having cafe au lait & beignets (www.cafedumonde.com). Another great coffee shop is the Croissant d'Or (at 615 Ursulines Street), which is open from 7:00am to 2:00pm and has food in addition to pastry.

The Palm Court restaurant is very nice, has moderate prices, and traditional live jazz starting at 8:00pm: 1204 Decatur Street, tel [phone] (reservations are important and they are not open every day). The Palm Court is closed from about July 25th to about September 25th each year.

Maximo's Italian Grill has great food and atmosphere: 1117 Decatur Street in the French Quarter, [phone].

All of the famous restaurants (Antoine's, Arnaud's, Brennan's, Commander's Palace, etc.) have reopened. The Pelican Club (on Exchange Alley in the FQ) is not as well known but is the same type experience. Reservations are a good idea, and probably essential on weekends.  Tujaques Restaurant (823 Decatur Street) is very traditional and has moderate prices:  http://www.tujaguesrestaurant.com/

Cafe Degas is a very French restaurant near City Park at 3127 Esplanade - which is not within walking distance of downtown (5 to 10 minutes by taxi). They are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays (504-945-5635).

The Napoleon House restaurant is at 500 Chartres Street in the FQ, and has a menu of great local dishes:  http://www.napoleonhouse.com/

Preservation Hall has traditional live Jazz, and doesn’t serve alcohol so all ages are welcome:  www.preservationhall.com/

New Orleans has ballet, opera, a symphony orchestra, and theatre:

www.neworleansopera.org

www.lpomusic.com

www.lepetittheatre.com

There is a free ferry across the Mississippi at the "foot" of Canal Street. It is a short trip but like a harbor cruise w/o a guide: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/canal_stree...

The Aquarium, Audubon Zoo, and the new Insectarium are world-class attractions (www.auduboninstitute.org) and you should see them if you can. The Zoo is several miles from downtown. You can drive to the Zoo (which has free parking) or take public transit from the French Quarter.

The Louisiana State Museum is in the French Quarter:  http://lsm.crt.state.la.us/  New Orleans is also home to a number of other museums, such as the National World War II Museum (www.ddaymuseum.org) and the New Orleans Museum of Art (www.noma.o

Take a  train trip across the Rockies in Canada. You'll never forget it.

Answer 3

Canada's wonderland is a wickeddd amusemnt park, wet n' wild water park is also great, and the west edmonton mall is the biggest mall in Canada, and inside there is roller coasters, amusemtn park, an indoor beach, a skating rink, a dolphin show, and much more... those are just a few things here in Canada, do some research ad you'll find a lot more

Answer 4

I would recommend a trip to Niagara Falls, specifically the Ontario, Canada city.  The Table Rock complex is finishing up a renovation and expansion for its falls views is also the site of the Journey Behind the Falls attraction and the new Niagara's Fury attraction.

Anybody who goes to Niagara Falls has to ride on The Maid of The Mist at least once.

I would add a mention for Marineland, the Butterfly Conservatory and Bird Kingdom. Each furthers the nature theme set by the falls in their own way. If that ever did get boring for you, the thrill rides at Marineland would definitely wake you up.

How about eating a meal up in either of the Skylon Tower's windowed restaurants before or after visiting the observation deck? The meals in the Revolving Dining room start at $26 for lunch and $40 for dinner. The Summit Suite Dining Room's lunch buffet is $28 and the dinner buffet is $35-$40. However, you're there more for the spectacle and the surroundings.

Clifton Hill describes itself as "The Avenue of Fun" at Niagara Falls. It has many attractions, shops and restaurants. Some of my favorite stops would be the SkyWheel, the Great Canadian Midway, the Guinness Book of World Records museum and the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.  However, that just tips the iceberg of what all is on Clifton HIll

Along with the city's two casinos, there are recommended sights around both of them as well. It's a short walking distance from the Fallsview casino to the Skylon Tower, the IMAX Theatre, the Daredevil Gallery and an official National Geographic store. Casino Niagara is a short walking distance from an official Coca-Cola store (complete with a full-service ice cream Coke fountain), an official Hershey Chocolate store, the Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood and Clifton Hill.

The American side at Niagara Falls side does have (in addition to the falls, obviously!!!) a casino and an aquarium but not much else.

Answer 5

A lot of amusement parks have long wait times for the rides.  We went to Hershey Park in Pennsylvania, were there 4 hours and went on about three rides!  Six Flags is off the NJ Turnpike in NJ.  If it's summer in NJ, go to SEASIDE HEIGHTS - great boardwalk, lots and lots of arcades, and two piers with amusement-park-type rides.  Admission to the beach is free on Wed. & Thurs, but parking costs.  Some people like Point Pleasant boardwalk.  I've never been there - always go to Seaside Heights.  

NYC is fun to walk around in, and you have to spend several days to even scratch the surface of all the parts of it.  I could give you specific info if you're interested.

Niagara Falls has been mentioned - I'd say the Canadian side is more exciting and has a better view of the falls than the American side.  

If you like architecture, see Chicago, and take the Wendella boat tour down the river.  If you like malls, go to the Water Tower Place.  There are only about 15 hours of farms between NY and Chicago!!!

San Diego California is also a nice area for beaches and amusements (Disneyland in Anaheim, about 1-1/2 hrs. north).

I did just put up some slideshows of NYC, Niagara Falls, and Chicago on YouTube.  I have a lot of pictures of the Jersey Shore and NYC, and San Diego area as well as others on my Facebook.
