USA Popular Places & Cuisines: Problem of plenty

From cities to coastlines, the US is home to many diverse destinations

Statue Of Liberty

For those in the enviable position of having unlimited time and resources, the top 10 attractions are Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Statue of Liberty, White House, Yellowstone National Park, Walt Disney World Resort, Times Square, Golden Gate, Las Vegas Strip and Waikiki Beach. In fact, from cities to coastlines, the US is home to so many diverse destinations that it’s hard to decide which places deserve the distinction of being America’s top destinations.

Much of American cuisine is fusion cuisine reflecting global cuisine, but regional cuisines have deeply rooted ethnic heritages, including Cajun, Louisiana Creole, Native American, New Mexican, Pennsylvania Dutch, Soul food, and Tlingit.

Just like the people themselves, American food came from across the seas, or over the border. Even the famed Apple Pie – so American – actually came from England, along with the apples. The food choices of Americans are incredibly varied. Mexican cuisine is the most popular ethnic cuisine in 27 states, Chinese in 22 and Thai is the most popular cuisine in Alaska and Hawaii.
