First Night Boston 2010 – Holiday Events in Boston, MA

In 1976, a small group of Boston artists and performers came together to do New Year's Eve a little different. Rather than with black-out binge drinking, they had the controversial idea of celebrating with music and art in an alcohol-free, family-friendly environment. Sacrilege, maybe, but a hit nonetheless.

Happy Thanksgiving from USA Travel Guide!

The ever-lazy editorial staff at USA Travel Guide will be enjoying a little holiday rest today and tomorrow. We figured you needed a break from Steven’s ramblings as much as we do. Regularly scheduled programming will return on Monday, November 30. Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving.

A Country Christmas at the Gaylord – Holidays in Nashville

I know Thanksgiving is just a day away, but forgive me if we skip a little ahead to talk about one of the biggest Christmas events in the nation. In fact, some of the fun has already begun. A Country Christmas at the Gaylord Opryland is a rockin’ Christmas-themed celebration of all things Nashville: music, family, [...]

First Night Alexandria – New Year’s Eve near Washington D.C.

It took a group of yuppie Bostonian artists to take something as wholesome as drinking oneself into mild dementia on New Year’s Eve and try to replace it with art. No drinking, no awkward hugs, no upended Jeeps. Believe it or not, people still got behind it. That was 1976 in Boston, and ever since, these [...]

Body Art Expo – Travelling Tattoo Convention in 2010

We got such a great response back in June when we covered the Body Art Expo in Pomona, California, that for next year we wanted to be ahead the game. The sensational tattoo, body art and lifestyle convention is hitting the road in 2010 with four major destinations on the tour. Time it right and [...]

Legion of Valor Museum – Things to do in Fresno, CA

Walking through an art museum – let’s say the Fresno Met – you’ll inevitably run into a gallery or two that you just don’t get. Maybe it’s a random jumble of black and red squiggles, maybe it’s a post-modern sculpture of a teddy bear wearing a sombrero eating a giant chicken, maybe you’re positive that [...]

Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery – Things to Do in LA

If I’d only had the time, I would have included this afternoon’s West Los Angeles attraction in USA Travel Guide’s Halloween coverage. I don’t care who’s buried below, there will always be something creepy about visiting a cemetery for fun. The creep factor certainly hasn’t kept people away from the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, though. [...]

Golf the Space Coast – Golf Courses in Cocoa Beach, Florida

There’s nothing sadder than a golfer with frozen balls. Grab your clubs and head some place warm for the winter, some place where the bright green beauty of summer never goes out of style, some place like Cocoa Beach, Florida on the Space Coast. The golf courses of Cocoa Beach and surrounding areas welcome golfers novice-to-pro [...]

Get Wet this Winter – Wet ‘n Wild Vacations in Orlando

Your town may not be straddled with snow yet, but you know it’s coming. What you may not know is that while you waste a gallon of gas every morning “warming up” the car, there’s a place in this country where the people still look forward to weekend trips to the water park. In fact, [...]

Solvang Julefest 2009 – Christmas in Solvang, California

Head to Solvang, California to celebrate the Christmas season this year, and you might feel like you’ve stumbled half-way across the world. Fact is, you’re only about 100 miles out from Los Angeles. But then, that’s Solvang for ya. In a grand holiday tradition loved by locals and tourists alike, Solvang, California, “The Danish Capital of [...]
