Chicago,suprise. Drove through Dallas and Houston, on the way to San Antonio where I live for a couple of years.

Dammit, only 1. However in my defence I'm British. Anyway it was to Boston (3 times, work trips). Each time I ventured a little further around the city and one time a i had a chat with a very confused (but not in a bad way) Vietnam war veteran in a McDonalds. I also followed the Freedom Trail (or whatever it's called) and can honestly say I do like Boston.
I have decided that should I visit again I will first take back the old Town Hall and then I'm going to storm Bunker Hill with a MASSIVE Union Jack. You have been warned.
 
Only been to NYC for work.

And it's not likely to change anytime soon. In your current situation it's not particularly attractive to cross the ocean.

I visited Boston for the first time last year and quite enjoyed the visit. Walked some of the Freedom Trail, visited some of the revolutionary icons, went to the Cheers bar, Fenway, and a few other spots. It's a fun place to spend a few days. We happened to be there over St. Patty's day, so it was extra festive.
 
My favorite thing is seeing the country while traveling. Not so much stopping and visiting places and being around people. I love looking at the world through a windshield. If it looked interesting I'd stop and take a look. I've been to most of the states, North to South in each, except those on the West Coast. My lady friend is from the Huntington Beach area in California. Been itching to drive the coast from Washington down. I may get to yet. I just don't want to fly out to get there.

The west coast drive is definitely a bucket list item. I've driven Highway 1 from San Francisco to LA, and on a seperate occasion I drove from Astoria OR to Sonoma CA along the coast. It is some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen.

Be sure to visit the north end Italian area. Great restaurants.
I’m not sure if I hit a particular event or holiday, or if it happens every weekend but as we were walking through at about 5 or 6 pm, the Main Street became an open market/ pedestrian mall and people set up shop. It was so much fun.

This popped up on FB for me today. Four seems low to me, but I guess how well-travelled one is depends a lot on their age. I've been to all but Nashville (on my to-do list) and Chicago. I've flown through both, but that doesn't count IMO.

Cheers! I went there too. I bought a mug with the Cheers logo on it. I then went home to Germany and used the mug for a cup of tea (quite fitting as apparently Bostonions hate tea). I then put it into the dishwasher and lo and behold when it came out it was just a standard white mug. The logo had disappeared! So not only did I learn that Boston is a very interesting place but also that Americans don't know how to make cups properly :laugh:
