Denver
The common perception of Denver is that it’s a sports-crazy city with a backdrop of towering Rocky Mountains. This happens to be absolutely true. When the fitness-minded locals are not out skiing, hiking or biking, they’re cheering for the Rockies and Broncos. But there are plenty of surprises in Colorado’s vibrant state capital, including a thriving arts scene, cosmopolitan restaurants and nightlife that proves the West is still wild.

New Orleans
While the legacy of having endured the worst natural disaster in the nation’s history still persists, the city is as spirited as ever. If visitors who had somehow never heard of Hurricane Katrina stayed in the French Quarter, the Garden District or along the riverfront, they might not know that anything had happened—except for the stories that locals have to tell. Virtually all of the city’s most important restaurants have returned. And amazingly enough, many fine new ones have sprung up.

Orlando

It all coexists beautifully, as you’ll find when you walk through Philly’s thriving neighborhoods.
