You got: San Diego, California
You got: San Diego, California
The best weather of any big city in the country. The best zoo in the world. Gorgeous beaches, acclaimed theaters, and new foodie destinations all over town. San Diego may be overshadowed by the City of Angels 120 miles to the north, but it's pretty heavenly too.
You got: New York, New York
You got: New York, New York
New York has more A-list sights than any U.S. city, and the cost of hotels and flights is dropping. Two hot neighborhoods are downtown, as in downtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn. If you're hungry for some theater, hit one of the city's three discount TKTS booths, but wait until late afternoon when the lines have thinned.
You got: Memphis, Tennessee
You got: Memphis, Tennessee
Take singer Marc Cohn's musical suggestion and go walking in Memphis. Enjoy free outdoor performances at the Levitt Shell, built in 1936 in downtown's Overton Park. Along with music, Memphis is known for its finger-licking barbecue joints, such as Central BBQ. You can also celebrate Elvis Week along Memphis's main musical drag, Beale Street.
You got: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
You got: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Miami gets the jet-setters—and the sky-high prices. Fort Lauderdale gives you the same ocean beach for less. Go for a stroll along the beach between Sunrise Boulevard and Bahia Mar, says Erik Petersen of Fort Lauderdale Magazine. Sunny days outnumber cloudy ones by 2 to 1, and the main shopping strip, Las Olas Boulevard, is dotted with restaurants.
You got: Las Vegas, Nevada
You got: Las Vegas, Nevada
Vegas has become one of the country's new culinary capitals, ranking just behind San Francisco and Houston on Trip-Advisor's list of top restaurant cities. While it's easy to go for broke on dinner—and on the poker table—even a top-end restaurant such as db Brasserie has daily $1 oysters specials.
You got: Austin, Texas
You got: Austin, Texas
Austin is famous for its live music, growing foodie reputation, and offbeat personality. The self-proclaimed capital of "weird" is also a outdoors enthusiast's paradise. Austin ranks No. 18 on our list for the quantity and quality of its parks. Among the favorites: the hike-and-bike trail around downtown's Lady Bird Lake and the nature paths, swimming holes, and rock climbing walls in the city's 832-acre Barton Creek Greenbelt, an urban oasis.
You got: Santa Fe, New Mexico
You got: Santa Fe, New Mexico
Santa Fe's charms have always been funky, eclectic—and cheap. It ranks No. 4 on our list for museums, and the Santa Fe Gallery Association says there are more than 200 art galleries in town. Spend all day art hopping and you'll never spend a dime, if you can resist buying a painting.
Fan of Game of Thrones? Stop by the restored Jean Cocteau Cinema, a 128-seat art-house theater. If you're lucky, you might catch the theater's owner, Game of Thrones mastermind and Santa Fe resident George R.R. Martin, taking tickets.
