"C Street, San Diego"

I rarely give negative reviews, though C Street was very poorly rated on my scale. On one of my latter trips to San Diego (we visit about once a year), we decided to stay with friends on C Street rather than stay in a hotel. The neighborhood, appearance wise, is matched with many in San Diego, beautiful and sunny! Though, the homes line the City College, so it is also very noisy, with house parties somewhere on your block every night, a lot of litter, and students taking up all of the parking. I would recommend living a bit further away from the campus or staying closer to the ocean if visiting.

"Orange Avenue, San Diego"

Orange Avenue, located in the heart of Coronado, is a great all-day experience if you are looking to window shop and stop in for some good food and drinks. Bay Books is a notable book store at 1029 Orange Avenue featuring classics and new releases, as well as a good collection of second-hand novels. WineStyles at 928 Orange Avenue not only offers a large selection of worldwide wines, but also a nice patio to enjoy a glass or a tasting flight.

"28th Street, San Diego"

28th Street lines the beautiful Balboa Golf Course, though has more to offer than a nice outlook. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. And there is ample parking along the golf course, with both sidewalks and trails through the eucalyptus trees to go for a brisk walk. Or, bring your clubs for a round or two of golf. The green has both a 9- and 18-hole course and has moderate prices between $14 and $28.

"El Prado, San Diego"

El Prado in San Diego is home to the Timken Museum of Art, located in Balboa Park. The great thing about Timken Museum is admission is always free and it is unlike any other museum in the city, in my opinion. The museum features European old master paintings, Russian icons and American art constitute the primary focus of the collection that you can browse for hours.

"3rd Street, San Diego"

3rd Street is full of life and diversity and one of my favorite blocks to stroll down during any trip to the city. The W hotel houses plush rooms if you feel like dropping a few dollar bills on your room, though is also centrally located on Coronado Island which has an amazing view and restaurants and shops for every taste.

"W Grape Street, San Diego"

West Grape Street houses local industrial stores, boutique homes and my favorite Inn, the Little Italy Bed and Breakfast, all with a beautiful view of the harbor. Little Italy B&B is a cute, European decor hotel at an excellent price. If you are on a budget but looking for a nice room, I would highly recommend this one- which also includes a free happy hour and afternoon tea. The entire neighborhood is beautiful, sunny and bright as is the rest of the city, and the streets are lined with palm trees, giving it the "beach getaway" feel!

"Hillside Drive, San Diego"

To view a piece of San Diego history that is more on the strange side, take a drive up Hillside Drive, which wraps Mount Soledad. The view of the city is breathtaking, and the homes beautiful and immaculate. Once you reach the 7470 block, you will find the homes are much smaller! This is the San Diego urban legend of "munchkin homes" where it is said munchkins from the Wizard of Oz film now reside. The truth of the legend? The homes were actually built on a slope of a hill and therefore, when you look at them from the street, you can practically touch the roof and it appears to be built for someone of smaller stature. It is an amazement to see and even better to show your out-of-town guests!

"South Avenue in Staten Island, New York"

For a stay as luxurious as those residing in South Beach, Staten Island, I recommend laying your head to rest at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel at 1100 South Avenue. Like many Hilton hotels I have stayed at, the Garden Inn features classy, yet modern decor, high class amenities, and service above and beyond any other chain I have experienced. The hotel is surrounded by luscious green landscaping, allowing a temporary escape from the beach atmosphere, and though it is minutes from Downtown Manhattan, the hotel is surprisingly serene and relaxing.

"Father Capodanno Boulevard in Staten Island, New York"

Father Capodanno Boulevard is home to one of Staten Island's Summer hot-spots, the Staten Island Boardwalk and Pier. When all the New Yorker's flock to South Beach for the summer, they also flock to the "Dolphin Fountain". The Boardwalk and Pier features free concerts, restaurants, fishing, fireworks and picnic areas. A private park for seniors also features bocci courts, tennis courts and shuffle board.

"Clarke Avenue in Staten Island, New York"

Beginning at 441 Clarke Avenue in Staten Island is Historic Richmond Town, a living attraction representing the history of the nation, and most notable of Staten Island and the State of New York. Historic Richmond Town always amazes me, illustrating how much the community has changed and evolved from colonial times. The streets of the town have beautifully restored buildings, civic buildings and a museum.

"Richmond Terrace in Staten Island, New York"

For a large dose of culture as well as entertainment, I recommend visiting the Staten Island Snug Harbor Cultural Center. The Cultural Center features museums, a few theaters, and mesmerizing gardens. I recommend packing a picnic lunch to eat outdoors in the villa, or grabbing a bite at Neptune's Bistro within the center, and attending a visual or performing arts performance. The Cultural Center also holds seasonal festivals and educational programs.

"Seaview Avenue in Brooklyn, New York"

Seaview Avenue has, by far, some of the best properties throughout the city of Brooklyn. A rental home I often try to reserve when visiting the city is located on Seaview Avenue, by Rockaway Parkway. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Rather than stories of townhouses or apartments, one attached to the next, these homes have plenty of space and the "Old New York" feel to them, with modern updating.

"University Plaza in Brooklyn, New York"

University Plaza in Downtown Brooklyn always appears to be the spot where everyone comes together. At the Kumble Theater for Performing Arts at 1 University Plaza, everyone comes together to either perform or watch a true theatrical performance. The theater is located on Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus and is a state-of-the-art venue, making each performance that much better. I have been grateful enough to have tickets to a performance at this location, and I would likely compare it to one put onto Broadway. The acoustics and performer-audience relationship was immaculate.

"S Oxford Street in Brooklyn, New York"

The Fort Greene Park Conservancy at 85 S Oxford Street in Brooklyn is both community-involved and an attraction to those visiting and living throughout Brooklyn. The Conservancy truly gives back to the community, matching what they do for it. Each year, the ever popular Halloween Film Festival is put on my the conservancy as well as several concerts and park festivities. I completely recommend attending one of the Conservancy's events, and if you have a little more free time, volunteering to help keep the park clean so we can all continue to enjoy the events!

"Van Brunt Street in Brooklyn, New York"

Located at 499 Van Brunt St is the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition, an organization of some of the most talented artists in Brooklyn, and throughout the state of New York. If you are lucky to be a Brooklyn resident or visiting between May through October, I recommend checking in to see when one of their three exhibits is occurring. If not, the Artists Coalition also holds concerts and free events during the weekends.

"Hancock Street in Brooklyn, New York"

Most streets in Brooklyn are lively, full of street performers, entertainment, and aspiring artists. Though Hancock Street stands out from them all. And at 501 Hancock Street sits Big Eyed Productions, dedicated to all of this. Big Eye Productions is such an amazing place to visit, and to be a part of. They focus on bringing Blues music to the community and preserving this classic sound and culture.

"Conover Street in Brooklyn, New York"

For an interesting take on museums, I suggest making a visit to the Waterfront Museum at 290 Conover Street. The floating museum is on the last remaining wood-covered barge of the New York Harbor. And inside shows the history and geography of the harbor, the process of importing and exporting goods and food to the states and the comical rescue of the barge by a clown and juggler in a theatrical performance. Though quite unconventional, this museum is very entertaining, and a good day outing for the kids as well.

"Roebling Street in Brooklyn, New York"

147 Roebling Street is home to one of my favorite galleries in Brooklyn. The Front Room Gallery of Contemporary Art features all methods of art including photgraphy, videography, audio art and conceptual art. The Front Room Gallery is also very community orientated, supporting a public exhibition space called "The Banner Project". In my experience, I have seen more attendees at the Front Room than any mainstream gallery throughout Brooklyn. The pieces are amazing and imaginative.

"Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn, New York"

For a flea market above all others, I recommend visiting the Brownstoner's Brooklyn Flea at 176 Lafayette Avenue. The Brownstoner's Brooklyn Flea has hundreds of vendors and is held in the beautiful neighborhood of Brownstone. I would also suggest arriving early if you want to see all the market has to offer: from antiques and furniture to artisan cheeses and fresh bread and pastries. I am positive that no visitor will leave empty-handed, but rather will leave with their hands full of flea market finds!

"Grand Army Place in Brooklyn, New York"

10 Grand Army Place in Brooklyn is home to one of my favorite, and most visited attractions. It is not a museum, or theatre, or shopping district and admission is always free: The Brooklyn Public Library! I recently learned that the Brooklyn Public Library is the fifth largest library system throughout the entire nation, its size will amaze you. For a nice break from the tourist spots and hustle, stop by the library for a quiet read, or attend one of the many programs they offer to the public.

"Clifton Road in Atlanta, Georgia"

The Fernbank Museum of Natural History, located at 767 Clifton Road NE in Atlanta is full of interesting exhibits, intriguing educational programs, and an Imax theater that will blow your mind. The amount of activities available is endless. Unlike other Natural History Museums, the Fernbank shows Georgia and its transformation through time, as well as exhibits of the prehistoric and mesozoic eras.

"North Highland Avenue NE in Atlanta, Georgia"

The Grape at 300 North Highland Avenue NE in Atlanta is a must visit for any wine connoisseur or even a novice wine drinker. The Grape features over 120 wines you can taste and flights paired with appetizers and a bistro style food. The best aspect is the wine store next door featuring all of the wines for sale that you can taste in the wine bar.

"Crescent Drive in Atlanta, Georgia"

Some of the best Southern cuisine can be found nowhere else but in the heart of Atlanta city. I always make it a point to grab a bite to eat at the South County Kitchen on Crescent Drive. The modern decor gives way to the delicious entrees. I recommend my usual, Fried Green Tomatoes, Crab Hash and Chicken & Dumplings, though every item on the menu looks delicious and exhibits the southern style cooking.

"Park Drive in Atlanta, Georgia"

Piedmont Park, at 400 Park Drive NE in Atlanta, lives above its name of being a community park. Piedmont Park has all of the features of a usual athletic or outdoor park including sports field, walking trails and tennis courts. Though, each Saturday throughout the year, the Green Market is held in the park, featuring the season's freshest produce and harvest, flowers, natural merchandise and chef demonstrations. The produce is more fresh than any local grocery and the variety and prices are amazing.

"Park Avenue W Northwest in Atlanta, Georgia"

The winter holidays are not complete without an array of lights through the city, and beyond that, ice skating. Each year from mid-November to January, Centennial Olympic Park at 265 Park Avenue W Northwest is transformed into an ice skating rink fit for a king. The outdoor ice rink has a lighted observation seating area for those who like to watch from the sidelines and skaters can skate to the holiday music.

"Upper Alabama Street in Atlanta, Georgia"

In the heart of downtown Atlanta, at 50 Upper Alabama Street is Underground Atlanta. Filled with the spirit and liveliness of any big city, Underground Atlanta has lots to do and see at any time and at any day.

"Baker Street NW in Atlanta, Georgia"

The Georgia Aquarium located at 225 Baker Street NW in Atlanta is an attraction catered to all ages, young and old. The Aquarium would require more than one visit to fully see and experience all of the exhibits, including walk through tunnels, a 4D theater, and endless tanks of sea life, fish, varieties of sharks and rays. The aquarium also offers hands-on educational programs and tours. Cafe Aquaria, the aquariums on-site restaurant, features delicious cuisine of pizza, pasta, soups and sandwiches.

"Peachtree Road in Atlanta, Georgia"

Being a fan of "Gone With The Wind", I had to make a visit to the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum at 990 Peachtree Road in Atlanta. Author of "Gone With The Wind", Margaret Mitchell resided in the home and declared it a city landmark in 1989. The home has immaculate and classic decor. The museum tells the entire story of the life of Margaret Mitchell, before and beyond the print of her well renowned novel.

"E Paces Ferry Road in Atlanta, Georgia"

For a memorable night on the town, I suggest a trip to the Broadway Across America at 359 East Paces Ferry Road. Held at the Fox Theatre, the Broadway Shows held here are amazing, to say the least. From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to Wicked, I have experienced many a shows at he Fox Theatre, and it equally compares to the liveliness and presentation put on by the New York Broadway, and at a great value.

"University Street in Seattle, Washington"

Some of the top shopping I have found in Seattle has been at the Rainier Square shopping plaza, spanning the blocks of 4th and 5th Avenue between Union Street and Seneca Street. The classiest of stores are housed here, including Brooks Brothers and Louis Vuitton and the cuisine to accompany a day of five star shopping is just as impeccable, from the coffee and pastry cafe, Cafe Migliore, to the Market Fresh Deli serving up sandwiches and soups.

"N 36th Street in Seattle, Washington"

For a more interesting and definitely unique attraction to visit, I recommend going to see the Fremont Troll. The Fremont Troll is housed under the north end of the Aurora Avenue Bridge. It is amazing to see how many visitors there are to the troll, hanging out with it, asking questions, and such. If you happen to be in Seattle during Halloween, attend the Trollaween on October 31st, where the troll emerges from its home under the bridge and is found strolling down the street of Fremont, accompanied by fire puppets and performers. This is a one of a kind experience.

"6th Avenue N in Seattle, Washington"

A visit to Seattle is not complete with a trip to the famed, and most predominant landmark, the Space Needle. Once erected for the State Fair, the Space Needle has now become a world recognized structure. My suggested itinerary: a trip to the top observation deck for amazing 360 degree views of the city to Mt. Rainier, and then enjoy lunch with a front seat to the immaculate view at the Sky City Restaurant.

"Pike Place in Seattle, Washington"

Looking for my traditional morning pick me up in Seattle led me to the original Starbucks at 1912 Pike Place. Having visited the coffee chain many times before, this visit was unlike any other, as the store is unlike any other. The baristas are more lively than ever, the environment has a little more pep, and I could swear for a moment, my caramel machiato tasted better as well!

"Phinney Avenue N in Seattle, Washington"

Phinney Avenue is by far one of my favorite streets, and neighborhoods, throughout Seattle. When traveling to Seattle, I always forgo the typical hotel or B&B and rent a home off of Phinney Avenue. The homes are beautiful, of classic decor, and the neighborhood is quiet though with the right amount of friendly, socializing neighbors. It feels like the neighborhood is truly that, rather than just a tract of homes set next to one another.

"Occidental Avenue in Seattle, Washington"

Seattle is well known for it's year round festivals, though when I am in town in late January, I make it a must to attend the Seattle Boat Show. Held at Qwest Field Event Center at 800 Occidental Avenue South, the boat show is massive and amazing, to say the very least. There are boat and yacht exhibitors, boating and fishing seminars, and best of all, a parade of sailboats.

"5th Avenue N in Seattle, Washington"

The Experience Music Project located at 325 5th Avenue N in Seattle truly exhibits the community outreach and importance if the city of Seattle. The Music Project is great for those who watch and those who perform alike, featuring collections of memorabilia and artifacts to classes in music and the arts. The great thing about the Music Project as well, as it pays homage to artists of all kinds, not just musical but writer, graphic artists and theater.

"17th Avenue NE in Seattle, Washington"

The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture is a must see in Seattle. Located at the University of Washington, the museum focuses on not only exhibits, but research and education as well. The exhibits are constantly changing so I recommend viewing their website if you had a specific collection in mind that you are planning to see. Though all of their collections are amazing and exhibit an array of the traditional and contemporary cultural arts.

California Citrus State Historical Park located at 9400 Dufferin Avenue in Riverside is the heart of Riverside's history.

The Galleria at Tyler Street in Riverside is a shopper's paradise. The stores are at the peak of the latest fashions, at all times, and while shopping here I have never experienced the "mall crowds" that can make shopping unpleasant. Ann Taylor Loft is the perfect stop for the fashionista, and H&M has the best deals in clothes for men & women that I have seen, and the Elephant Bar is a nice break from the typical mall food court.

As a young child, I lived with my grandparents off of Lincoln Boulevard for a few years. Visiting back as an adult, the beauty and the serenity of this street as just as I remembered. The tree-lined streets and large front yards are a rarity throughout most of the town during current days, as well as throughout most of the mid-west. The neighborhood is quiet, making home a retreat rather that just somewhere you lay your head, and the neighbors are friendly, social and open.

"Ashburton Avenue in Yonkers, New York"

Ashburton Avenue is the street to take a leisurely walk on if you are looking for a small town feel in a large city. Even a drive down the road will show you the natural beauty and historic importance of the river, as well as the entire city of Yonkers. Asburton Avenue runs along the Hudson River and gives views you would only imagine in a painting. A stop at my favorite pizza place, Ashburton Pizza Restaurant on 168 Ashburton Avenue is the perfect ending to the afternoon.

"North Shore Drive NE in Saint Petersburg, FL"

North Shore drive is the stretch of shores and parks I have grown accustomed to in Saint Petersburg Florida. The parks are a perfect destination for a day outdoors. And if basking in the sun and sand is on your to-do list, I would recommend you lay your beach blanket anywhere along this stretch of beaches. The beaches and ocean are some of the cleanest I have seen, are relaxing, and not overcrowded.

"3rd Street South in Saint Petersburg, Florida"

Walking down 3rd Street South, I guarantee the first building that catches your eye, and definitely the most prominent, is the Salvador Dali Museum. Again, for all museum and art buffs alike, the Salvador Dali Museum is a must visit, housing the late Spaniard's surrealist works. Having been to the Dali Museum in Spain as well, I have to note the museum in Florida has the highest volume of pieces from the collection of Salvador Dali's works. In a quiet neighborhood, 3rd Street South also houses many hotels and residences, making for a perfect stroll on a warm Florida afternoon.
