It's not domestic but Toronto is amazing. Great for food, Pokemon hunting, and it's a lot of fun.

Toronto is a great suggestion, even though it's not domestic.

I have been only once and would like to return.

Philly is the clear winner here.

Or, it's the default winner since you've eliminated beaches, Chicago, NYC, Boston and DC, and you live in CA all the time.

We have lots of good BBQ in KC, perfect for avoiding the diabeetus.

True dat.

MEAT CAN'T BE BEAT.

BBQ sauce is full of sugar and typical sides are carbs. Come to ATL

This is going to sound INSANE but Bentonville, Arkansas. World-class art museum, fantastic restaurants, cute town square probably teeming with Pokemon.

Well, this is unexpected. Thank you!

I have not been to any part of Arkansas, and now I know where I should visit (and whom to consult) should I ever have the opportunity.

Philadelphia has so many great restaurants and is easy to get around and good for solo. I do a lot of things solo here.

How about Philly? Our friend runs Vernick and its so so good. Voted #1 restaurant in Philly and has won numerous other honors.

I haven't been to Philadelphia in quite awhile, and there are indeed a lot of tasty things to eat there.

I'm here.

I will get you DiNic's.

This might be too late, but Nashville should be on your must-visit list!

It's in a food renaissance! Lots of different types of foods to enjoy while you're here. And more food of what's hot this month.

Nashville is also a hot spot for Pokemon Go users.

Lonely Planet named Nashville as one of the top 10 places to visit in 2016 in the world.

Oh, and music. Lots of music, not just country.

History, nature, shopping, etc., all here, all good.

One of my good friends recently moved to Nashville, and I would love to see her, so your city already had a built-in perk for me!

I really want to go, and you have my heart with the Pokemon link, dude. LOL.

Oh boooo. We could've met up to watch the parade (at a predetermined time and place because my cell had zero service the entire time we were there last year). Lol We probably walked right past one another. I'm still bitter.

That's so cool you are going again!

One of these days, if I'm ever in Vegas without being held down by child, we really need to meet.

We have been in the same place at the same time without connecting far too often!

I know. I'm so excited. We'll be there for 5 days too. Yay!

Yes! Let me know.

Savannah, food is great and I think the Pokemon hunting is pretty great too!

Interesting! I've never thought of Savannah. How far is it from Atlanta? Would that be doable in one trip?:

Self-edit: OMG three hours away. I'm an idiot.

It is a bit to far for a day trip, although people do it all the time. It is a great city, lots of southern food, but also tons of other options as well. It is very walkable and sooo beautiful. I found the airport is actually pretty cheap to fly into as well, especially from larger cities.

Listen, I make shit happen. Why were you unsuccessful before? I won't hesitate to throw elbows.

[onesweetworld]

Not domestic but close enough. And your dollar will get you more here.

Toronto.

Not patient enough to wait in serpentine line once and arrived too late twice when the pork had run out.

I did have two amazing sandwiches at John's Roast Pork, though, so it wasn't a complete bust.

Ohhhhhhhhh. Mmmmm.

I think I'm leaning toward going south because I've seen less of that part of the country.

[rootbeerfloat]

Come to Oahu, land of poke and Pikachu.

What about bike week in Laconia, New Hampshire?

I will be so sad if you choose Atlanta after we moved from there back to Maryland. I would have loved to meet you.

Well, since you're already doing NYC.. Seattle!

Hit the underground and the EMP if you haven't already. I think Bite of Seattle is over but Bumbershoot is coming up.

Seattle is high up always.

I've done both underground and EMP, but I know nothing re Bite and Bumbershoot.

The Bite is all the amazing restaurants (and up and comers and ok restaurants) do a festival where they give away samples of their best food. It's usually accompanied with games and maybe a couple rides for kids and booze. It's a once a year thing and Tacoma does the same thing (the glass museum in Tacoma is awesome too!)

Bumbershoot is a music festival. It has food but it's more fair type food. But it has boats and concerts and parties. Bumbershoot is a Seattle tradition!

ETA booze for the adults.. Seattle is liberal but not that liberal.

Dallas, TX. I know nothing about it except I will be there and so are some other cool ML'ers.

I think we are flying to Dallas and driving to visit friends and family in Austin in the near future.

If we are in Dallas long enough, I'd love to GTG with all of you (but I will have husband and kid with me)!

Austin! Amazing food, good Pokemon hunting, amazing music scene, will be warm in winter, is the bluest part of Texas.

Then I agree with the Philly folks!
