DO’s and DON’Ts

TripAdvisor checks multiple sources for

the best cheap flights.

Search Flights now

NEW YORK CITYDo try street cart food, “from falafel to fruit smoothies, exotic coffee to bratwurst, arepas to samosas and dosas—all delish and nothing over $10.”

NEW ORLEANS“DoN’T forget your vouchers! The official New orleans Tourist Site offers a free guide with coupons for restaurants and attractions.”

KEY WESTDoN’T Stick to Duval Street. “Most locals avoid Duval Street like the plague due to the expense. If you spend your vacation only on Duval, you’ll miss a lot!”

SAVANNAHDoN’T drive if you don’t have to: “whenever you can, get out on your feet and enjoy Savannah at the pace it was meant to be seen—leisurely!”

CHICAGODo leave dry land: “Experience the Chicago skyline from a river cruise. Enjoy a stroll or a bike ride along the magnificent lakefront.”

SANTA FEDoN’T spend hordes of money. “Browse museums and galleries, window shop on the Plaza, in the Guadaloupe district and along Canyon Road, or hike at the Randall Davey Audubon Center.”

LAS VEGASDo leave the city. “If you’re looking to spend a day seeing some beauty, walking and just enjoying the romance of each other, spend the day at Red Rock Canyon. The scenery and ride is absolutely breathtaking.”

NAPA VALLEY“DoN’T worry that off-season means missing the good stuff. Sure, you won’t see grapes on the vines and you won’t see wineries crushing grapes, but who can argue with more manageable crowds?”

PALM SPRINGSDo some “recommended reading on Palm Springs architecture: Palm Springs Weekend by Alan Hess and Andrew Danish; Palm Springs Modern by Adele Cygelman and David Glomb.”

MAUIDo explore during off times. “Leave early to avoid crowds and afternoon showers” on the Hana Highway or head to Molokini in the afternoon when “trips are generally cheaper.”
