We limited our list to five US cities (instead of 20) because visiting 5 US cities in your 20s is totally doable and we figured 5 cities could illustrate the diversity of US cities.
What makes a city great for 20-somethings specifically to visit? A totally unique but incredible blend of the following: an active nightlife, culinary creations unique to the city, a culturally diverse population, landscape conducive to outdoor activities and a few more intangible wellness features that make us want to cancel our flights back and change there when we visit.
The 5 US Cities Everyone In Their 20s Should Visit Are...
Why did you join the list?
Portland O. is like the Portland M. of the West; it goes unnoticed because it's a bit out of the way, but once you're there, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the city's creativity, relaxing vibes, and appreciation for bikes. Portland, Oregon is also the microbrewery capital of the country with more breweries than any other city in the world (52 to be exact)! This is what we call "beertopia".
What to do when visiting
Win a Voodoo Donut:
This place constantly cuts the 'best donut shop' items year after year. Maybe it's because they offer nearly 100 different varieties, all with funny names that will put a smile on your face, OR it could be the fact that they hold cool wedding ceremonies here. Whether you're a donut lover or not, it's a must-see!
See a live show on Holocene:
This place offers a variety of free live music every Sunday and hosts many other art and music events throughout the week. You can sit on the large patio or dance inside what used to be a former Best Auto Parts warehouse.
4. San Francisco, California
Why did you join the list?
This town was made for 20-somethings with plenty to offer foodies, microbrew enthusiasts, adventurers and adventurers, drunks and more. Visiting San Francisco quickly turns into wanting to move to San Francisco. San Francisco's geographic location is one of its most desirable features. With its consistently good weather and proximity to wine country, Lake Tahoe, Muir Woods, the Pacific Ocean and more, there are a number of things for visitors to do.
What to do when visiting
Visit Wine County
Some of the best wines in the world come from Napa Valley and Sonoma. Ask someone else to drive and enjoy the scenery and samples. Spend the day learning about the history of California's wine industry and sample wines as you visit various vineyards.
Take some time to relax and enjoy sweeping views of picturesque vineyard surroundings as you savor a new favourite. Insider tip: Many vineyards can ship their favorite finds to your home. They make great souvenirs and gifts!
Explore Muir Woods
Tour Muir Woods in the picturesque coastal/mountain area called Marin County. Hiking enthusiast? Make your visit to Muir Woods an easy walking day. Rent a car and head to Mount Tamalpais. Walk to Muir Woods and then back to where you parked your car. The path takes you through beautiful Marin County, with plenty of places to pull over and get unbelievable views of downtown San Francisco from atop Mount Tamalpais.
Cross the Golden Gate Bridge
Whether by car, on foot or by bike, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge is a must-see in San Francisco. Best way to explore? Rent a bike for the day and take a self-guided tour (moderate tour). Recommended route: You will pass through Crissy Field, where you can stop for photos and the best views of the bridge.
Then follow the path to the Golden Gate Bridge, cross over and continue to the quaint seaside town of Sausalito, where you can stop for beachside lunch or browse the shops. From there, you can turn around and go back the way you came, take the ferry back to Fisherman's Wharf, or continue to Tiburon, where you'll have the same return options.
On your way to Tiburon, you'll travel along long stretches of bayside parks and bike paths. From Tiburon, passengers can stop for refreshments, explore the shops, then turn around and head back or take the ferry to Fisherman's Wharf.
eat like a local
Tacolicious: Get the fish tacos (we don't think they're any better anywhere in the world), street corn, and a passion fruit margarita.
Bi Rite Creamery: For completely original ice cream flavors like Balsamic Strawberry, Lavender and Sonoma Honey, Salted Caramel and more, head to one of the Bi Rite Creamery locations. Even if you know which flavor you want to get, ask for a sample of something completely unique.
Tartine: Suggested by pretty much anyone who's lived in SF, Tartine is worth the one-block queue you'll see at peak times. This cafe offers a wide selection of authentic French pastries and breakfast snacks. Croque monsieur, Croque madame, almond croissant (as you can see in the photo, we couldn't choose just one).
Take a brewery tour: San Francisco is home to a burgeoning craft brewery scene. Check out Anchor Brewing for one of the best brewery tours (and tastings!), as ever. Make a reservation ASAP, due to the popularity these tours sell out faster than you can book a plane ticket.
3. New York City, New York
Why did you join the list?
Going to New York just to see the skyline is a perfectly legitimate reason to justify your plane ticket. Other acceptable reasons to justify your airfare are the amazing food, boozy culture, world-class museums, the Statue of Liberty, people watching, and just soaking in a city so romanticized by American movies and pop culture.
New York City has something to offer everyone (couples, nerds, etc.). Avoid the tourist traps and explore some of the unique, cutting-edge culture the city is famous for.
What to do when visiting
Scope the best skyline views
No visit to New York City is complete without an Instagram showing a sweeping view of the city's skyline. Head to one of our top 4 seating options for a view of the Manhattan skyline.
Kick back and relax
Sonny's Soda Shoppe : This indoor/outdoor rooftop bar offers sweet cocktails and even sweeter rooftop views of New York City. Its retro Italian-inspired menu has everything from Italian dishes like pizza to boozy popsicle cocktails, and casual seating, grass floors, and string lights create an inviting and fun atmosphere.
SixtyFive Bar & Cocktail Lounge: With views that rival Top of the Rock, this recently reopened bar has surprisingly managed to stay a little under the radar. Go up here for the views, a great wine selection, and delicious appetizers (sliders and chips highly recommended!).
Blue Ribbon Beer Garden: Go here to see and be seen. We're not sure which is better, the open atmosphere, the Indian spice market decor, the ping pong tables or the foam-topped iced beers that are the perfect refreshment on a hot summer's day.
Explore museum culture
If your main reason for going to The Met is the view or seeing historically significant art from around the world in person, don't leave New York without visiting at least one museum.
See masterpieces of modern art such as Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night or Claude Monet's Reflections of Clouds on the Water-Lily Pond or Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans at MoMa, or admire the wonder Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural landmark that is the Guggenheim, which is also home to famous artwork by some of the greats like Cézanne, Manet, Monet, Picasso, Pissarro and Renoir.
Try your favorite local cuisine
Summers: Summers serves what is one of the best egg and avocado sandwiches, as always. Order a cold coffee, freshly squeezed juice or coconut water served to complement your sandwich.
The Meatball: With six locations and counting, it's safe to say that the Meatball craze in New York is going strong. The visionaries behind The Meatball have taken these Italian classics to a whole new level in their creative and gourmet versions.
Photo Credit: Lois Official Facebook Page [/caption] Lois: Wine enthusiasts will appreciate carefully selected wines on tap and serious, well-crafted bites. Tip: if they have avocado arepa or pork rillettes on the menu, GET THEM. House of Treats: Forget the cronuts. Satisfy your sweet tooth (and your inner 4-year-old) with crunchy gourmet rice treats. They are almost too cute to eat, but impossible to resist.
2. Austin, Texas
Why did you join the list?
If you haven't been, Austin is unlike anything you'd imagine Texas to be. The city's motto, "keep Austin weird," is an indication of what you can expect from laid-back and friendly locals. Austin has also claimed its name as "the music capital of the world" (we were also surprised), but not after seeing it for ourselves!
What to do when visiting
Take a dip in Barton Springs
This year round natural 70 degree fountain is located in Zilker Park. Play in the large pool or venture to Barton Creek, where you can swim, hike, bike, sail, cycle, take a boat ride...
Go see a live show
Live music can be found any day or night of the week in Austin, maintaining its title as the music capital of the world. There's even a live band that plays at the airport. You can find all of Austin's music events here.
Stop at Torchy's Tacos
If there was a national food truck competition, Austin would definitely be winning! You can find a plethora of amazing food truck options in downtown Austin, but Torchy's Tacos was our favorite. They have wild options like fried chicken and chile or blackened salmon. Located at 1311 S. 1st Street, Torchy's Tacos may not necessarily be traditional, but it's definitely delicious! See the menu.
1. Chicago, Illinois
Why did you join the list?
Chicago has it all. In addition to being known as the "second city" for being the second largest population in the US, after New York, it perfectly blends the big-city vibe with the small-town friendliness of the Midwest. You can find anything and everything here, from great food to bars and live music and free events throughout the summer. Chicago is also proud of its public parks, artwork and architecture. Visiting Chi-Town is a must in your twenties!
What to do when visiting
Lake Michigan: The Lakeshore in Chicago is 18 miles long and a big part of what makes the city so amazing. There are trails for jogging, cycling or walking. You'll also find great restaurants/bars along the way. We highly recommend making a stop at Castaways, a beachfront party spot with delicious drinks and fun vibes.
The Hideout: This secret location might not be so secret anymore, but it's definitely worth seeing. They have a different themed event happening every night of the week like Blue Grass Tuesday and Epic Dance Party on Saturday.
Millenium Park: Although it is a popular tourist destination and one of the most photographed places in the country, it is well worth a visit. The park is constantly hosting live entertainment such as music shows, art exhibits, local vendors and fairs. Not to mention it's home to the infamous "beans"; the large reflective sculpture that looks like a giant... bean. There's also a fun and slightly creepy/cool "Crown Fountain" that spits water at you between the months of May and October (think people watching). So there you have it, young bums. If you think we missed a spot, let us know where you think are the best places for 20-somethings to visit in the comments, we may feature it in an upcoming blog post. Happy travels!
