6. New York

New York is a state in the northeastern United States. It is occasionally referred to as New York State when it is distinguished from New York City. Because a significant majority of the population is concentrated in the southern portion around New York City, the state is often regionalized into Upstate and Downstate. New York is the home of Ellis Island, where many immigrants in the early 20th century arrived in the United States.

While the state is best known for New York City's urban atmosphere, especially Manhattan's skyscrapers, most of the state is dominated by farms, forests, rivers, mountains, and lakes. New York's Adirondack State Park is larger than any U.S. National Park outside of Alaska. Niagara Falls, on the Niagara River as it flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, is a popular attraction.

7. Chicago

A visit to Illonois is not complete without experience Chicago. Try to catch a show at the famous Apollo Theater, where comedians like Chris Rock got their start www.apollochicago.com or check out some art at the Art Institute of Chicago. It is worth going to a baseball game at the famous Wrigley field, or the World Series Champion The Chicago White Sox.

8. Seattle

Seattle is a really cool city as there is plenty to do from the music scene to great little cafes and bars. There is a lot of sport for any of your sport fantatics. Be sure to walk through Seattle's Fish Market and have a great meal with a little entertainment. Whatever you do, you will have a great time in the most populated city in the Pacific Northwest.
