Miami, New York & Chicago: 3 Dream Cities for Summer Vacation

This summer, the United States is calling you for a visit. Miami is a beach state of mind, where art deco buildings dot the boulevards and lounging by the pool is par for the course. It might be hot and sometimes rainy this time of year, but fewer lines and lack of crowds, coupled with lower prices are all perks during this off-season time in Miami. In its list of Best Places to Visit in the USA, U.S. News & World Report listed New York as No. 7 and Chicago as No. 13. New York is calling with visions of the Empire State Building, Times Square, hot dogs in Coney Island, and pizza in Little Italy. Take a bite out of Chicago’s theatre and dining scene, and hang out in the neighborhoods beyond downtown like locals do. Warm weather in these cities makes summer an ideal time to visit.
