Chinatown is One of San Fran’s Most Unique Areas

The City Has a Restaurant Scene That Can’t Be Matched
State Bird Provisions in San Francisco is a new husband and wife owned restaurant that recently won the prestigious James Beard Award for “Best New Restaurant.” Good luck getting a table though, reservations fill up months in advance and the walk-in line goes out the door and around the block. 
Nobody Does Boutique Hotels Like Miami
If you’re going to visit Miami, do yourself a favor and skip the chains in favor of a boutique hotel. They line the strip of South Beach and the Villa by Barton G is one of the many lavish pads welcoming visitors. 
Little Havana is the Go-To Place for Cigars
Miami has a reputation for sand and nightlife in its popular South Beach district, but the city is a melting pot of cultures, and Little Havana has some of the best coffee and cigar shops around. Cigar rollers perfect their craft rolling fine tobacco cigars for tourists and locals alike and a skilled roller can roll up to 100 cigars a day.
