Hey Guys!
In July/August I shall visiting the states for the first time! The main cities I shall be stopping at are:
Chicago
L.A.
Phoenix
San Diego
Vegas
San Francisco
Naturally I will be doing the tourist kinda things like going to the Grand Canyon, Yosemite Park, Golden Gate Bridge etc... but I was wondering if anyone knew of some places of the beaten track? Or funky places (that tourists may not know) to go within those cities?
Or for that matter anything which you would highly recommend trying while being in America... like a food joint or bar etc...
Thanks
Tom

You can see New York while you're in Vegas.

no jax is right, you can just go right up to new york for free. it's smaller than the real one though. but you have to pay to ride the roller coaster.

I was in San Fran for business mostly, but I do remember some parts of it. Violent homeless people in the business areas, and the Tenderloin isn't where you want to be, but as far as toursity stuff goes The Warf area should be right up your alley.
Goldent Gate Bridge wasn't really all that special, though there is an old Army post that overlooks it from outside San Fran which was kinda cool to walk through if that's you're thing.
Some of the towns outside of SF are real nice too but I can't remember their names for the life of me.
Wine country was nice but hot as balls.
Other then that there was The Metreon, the trolly and a shit load of art galleries.
I wish I remembered more of LA and SD but it has been too long.
If something else comes to me, I'll tell you.
Also, lots of baseball.

If you like baseball go to Wrigley Field in Chicago and Dodger Stadium in LA
If you really like baseball go to AT&T Park in San Francisco (one of the nicest parks in the league)
