DBAHO Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Alright, I know I've started enough of these "I'm going to such and such, and wanna know what to do there" threads over the past year, but well I finish work here next Thursday and have 1 month to travel around America before I get kicked out of the country, so I'm going to make the most of it. So if anyone has any advice on any of these places that I'll be going to, will be much appreciated. Nashville (gonna go to the Flying Saucer again Northsider). I've also heard that the Blue Bird Cafe is good, as is the Loveless Cafe but that's out of town a bit. Tampa Orlando Daytona Beach San Francisco Los Angeles Seattle I'm also going to Vegas and San Diego, but I've been to the later, and already have enough info on the former.

Balta1701 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 There's lots of variously cool things to hit up in the L.A. area depending on what you're up for. Dodger game. Walk down Hollywood Blvd. Awful lot of cool geology. Number of places where movies you may like have been filmed. Lots of random restaurants that are particularly good at the things they do. Catch a White Sox game with Balta. Drive through wine country. If you're here in the winter there's lots of skiing surprisingly close. Number of national parks (Yosemite, Sequoia, Joshua Tree) that are close. Lots of expensive shopping districts if that's your thing (Rodeo Drive, Santa Monica Pier/3rd st. Promenade). The Hollywood Bowl. Disney. Lots of good beach. The Hollywood sign/Griffith Park/Griffith Observatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm intrigued with this hitching post you speak of. Is it really good? What would you recommend. I might take the women there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Nashville is the only place on that list that I've really gotten to experience. I don't know what you're into as far as music, but the Wooten family plays "garage funk" at this place called 3rd & Lindsley every Wednesday night. It's a nice change from the s*** kickin' country that you'll hear at most of the clubs. If you want something a little seedier head to Printer's Alley for some fine adult entertainment.

Chisoxfn Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I watched like 10 minutes of Sideways and was bored. I take it that the Hitching Post was in the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that the Hitching Post was in the movie? Yeah, it was featured in there quite a bit. It's supposedly a very good wine and barbeque type place. They do what IIRC is a Santa Maria style open flame BBQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I just googled it and it looks damn tasty. Might have to use my mileage to get a hotel and do a little PCH road trip with the gal for her birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I might just have her and I watch the movie that week to kind of set-it-up. So I say thanks in advance Balta, you've just made my job much easier for the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) When you go to San Fran you should check out Fort Worth. Go down to the wharf and just walk around as well. I'd sample the sourdough pizza and I recommend the crab melt sandwich at the franciscan overlooking the Rock.

Huge selection of the locally brewed stuff. Good sausage place next door too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenryan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Unless youre planning on going to a theme park, there isnt much else to do here in Orlando. Unless youre looking to play some golf then there are some good places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthsideDon48 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 When you go to Vegas, make sure you eat at the buffet at the Bellagio. They have the best buffet in the world. Try their BBQ Swordfish, it's delicious. Hotel rates are dirt-cheap in Vegas, too. Have you ever gone to Niagara Falls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Daytona Beach sort of sucks. Very dirty. City Walk is sorta cool, but besides that, I don't know, go to a Daytona Cubs game and see my boy Tony Thomas Jr. kick some ass. They should have some good drink specials.
