Don't come to Miami as it will be raining here all summer unless the rain doesn't bother you.

New Orleans. Humid af in the summer though.

The east side of Detroit

Come to Washington, DC. We got awesome restaurants and museums, great night scene, shopping, good history as well. It's really nice weather this time of year too.

Flint Michigan. I hear the water there is "different".

I've always wanted to visit Nashville. I love country music and the city seems pretty cool.

10 Days? You have two choices imo:
1. New York
2. San Francisco

Honorable Mentions (in no particular order):
Austin, TX
Seattle, WA
Chicago, IL
Boston, MA

Depending on your tastes, would depend on a good city to visit. I would say visit either Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or New York. Though it will be hot in LA and NY, and exceptionally hot in LV. Those 3 cities have the most to offer. Also, if you visit LA, you can drive to LV in about 5 hours for a day or 2 visit there as well. DC has crap for restaurants. About the only thing DC has is the museums.

It really depends on what you want to do during those 10 days but DC is a good choice.


Philly is about 2 1/2 hours away, NYC is 4, Boston is 7 ish. Over the course of 10 days you can see quite a few things and not be confined to just one city.

Depends what kind of experience you're looking for.

[Tiwack]

Tough question. Pick a coast to tour or go for the heartland like Chicago or Vegas. In 10 days you can go far unless you're set on just a single metropolis experience. Depending on where you're from in Italy you may want to stay away from the southern states in the summer though.

Hear Austin is pretty swag.

I was thinking of Austin too. Lot of music and food, probably the most left wing place in Texas.

New York is very similar to European cities, IMO.

He can also explore a lot of Texas which has many differing cultures and climates. Maybe venture up towards Colorado and New Mexico, interesting locations in both states to see.

You'll get a good sense of rural and urban America while getting to enjoy its greatest outdoors.

Why go where everyone goes, for example New York or even New Orleans?

I'd suggest Albuquerque, New Mexico, with jaunts out to surrounding locations. Cincinnati, San Antonio, or Minneapolis might also be worth considering.

Since you are in Italy, also consider St. Louis and "the Hill" That would be more of an opportunity to see one side of the Italian immigrant experience.

Italians, mainly from Lombardy and Sicily, immigrated and settled in the area starting in the late 19th century, attracted by jobs in nearby plants established to exploit deposits of clay discovered by immigrants in the 1830s.

St. Louis would also give you easy access to things from Chicago to New Orleans if that rail line is still active. St. Louis has Cahokia Mounds for something historical, and downstate Illinois has sites like Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Park. Southern Illinois University at Carbondale used to be fairly laid back if you want to see an American campus and hang out with college students.

New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, or Los Angeles/Hollywood. All would be solid picks.

Seattle Washington is also pretty great as well

DO NOT GO TO OHIO.

There is a reason the majority of astronauts are from Ohio, and it has nothing to do with their schools.
