Santa Barbara is one of the best places I've ever visited. Just a great sleepy beach atmosphere with awesome architecture and a beautiful mountain backdrop. Rent bikes and ride around the little downtown area. Ride to the courthouse, it's awesome. Eat at Mac's Fish and Chips...dudes are straight fro...

Hard to think of 5 right away but one that comes to mind is Niagara Falls. Don't get me wrong, beautiful sight to see and the boat trip into it is great.

Planning a trip to NYC later in the year but thinking about staying in Brooklyn this time. Been to NYC before but going to try Brooklyn this time and go back and forth. Any suggestions on this or recommendations on where to stay? Thanks!...

Wife has a work conference in April so I'm tagging along and will have about 2-3 days in the city to myself. Will catch a Pirates game but any other suggestions where to go, what to do, where to eat? Will have a rental car....
