"Some places get such a build-up that they can't possibly live up to their reputation. Visitors leave having checked off their bucket list, but feeling vaguely unsatisfied. But occasionally a destination delivers big time, says Jamie Wong, founder of XXXX, a site connecting visitors to locals who offer insider tours and travel advice. "Even in the hyped up world of travel, some places are truly remarkable," Wong says. She shares some favorites with Larry Bleiberg for USA TODAY."
1. The Grand Canyon
2. Vancouver
3. Martha's Vineyard
4. Savannah
5. Austin
6. Berkeley
7. Baja California, Mexico
8. New York City
9. North Shore Kauai
10. Paris
I agree with all these! And of course, I'm not biased!
Stopped reading when I saw "New York City has something for everyone, from nature lover to foodie to culture seeker."
How sad you stopped reading. Was it perhaps you are not aware of the Catskill mountain chain? The Appalachian mountains and trail? The Atlantic ocean? Or perhaps a half dozen museums? A couple of thousand restaurants?
Tell me where you have a comprehension problem and I'll dumb it down for you.

What do the Catskills or Appalachian's have to do with New York City? I think both those areas are great, but they're not NYC.

Not aware of a mountain chain that I grew up near?
Not sure what museums and restaurants have to do with it, but perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension considering they weren't in bold.
NYC is a concrete jungle. A top city in the world, but nature is not a reason anyone moves there. Sorry.
If NYC is great for nature lovers, then what is Denver?

Did someone go and move NYC and not tell me? I wasn't aware that there was any mountain chain running through the city.
