The Taste of Beverly Hills – September 2-5, 2010

I’ve managed to cast a pretty good roster of top-quality restaurants here in USA Travel Guide’s home town of Dallas, Texas. Dallas isn’t famous for its cuisine – we have no signature dishes – but that won’t stop you from scrounging up a five-star meal if you know where to look.
Still, I do pine to [...]

Attend Jazz Fest 2010 in New Orleans

Experience the sights, sounds and flavors of New Orleans at Jazz Fest, a 7-day celebration of everything Big Easy. The 2nd biggest New Orleans event (after Mardi Gras).

Disney’s California Food & Wine Festival

Family-friendly fairyland meets fancy food fantasia to surprisingly fine results. Finally a reason for parents to love Disney even more than the kids.

18th Mississippi Coast Coliseum Crawfish Festival in Biloxi

I’ve never been a professed fan of 90’s alt-rock outfit the Gin Blossoms. At most I know one of their songs. But if I was a Gin Blossoms fan, I’d be one of the luckiest Gin Blossoms fans in the world. Since 2002, I’ve had the opportunity to see them live and for free four [...]

Back-Country Wine Tour of Santa Barbara, California

One day USA Travel Guide may get to Napa Valley, what with all its pomp and prestige, but until then we’re perfectly happy sipping our way through the lesser-knowns. A couple months back we visited the Livermore Valley outside of San Francisco. Today we’re heading even farther afield to the Santa Ynez wine region just [...]

2010 Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo (and Bar-B-Que Contest)

After two weeks of hearts, roses and other frou-frou crap, I’ve got a hunger for big slabs of slow-cooked meat and voluntarily broken bones. The only place I know to get all that action at once is the 2010 Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo and World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest.
Actually, these two major Houston events don’t [...]

2010 Charleston Food + Wine Festival – Hotel and Packages

Hard to believe the 2010 BB&T Charleston Food + Wine Festival is almost upon us. Feels like we’re still reeling from last year’s smorgasbord of Lowcountry opulence. Magnificent meals, tasty tidbits, luscious libations, celebrity sightings, it’s not quite the same as your local “Taste of…”
The Charleston Food + Wine Festival has fast become a major [...]

New Year’s at Northwoods – New Year’s Eve in Big Bear Lake, CA

Feel like a slave to the same ol’ parties in the same ol’ places? Maybe it’s cheetos and Cranium at a friend’s house. Maybe it’s that special occasion sparkling at the wine bar. Either way, if you feel like you’ve done it all before, do something different for New Year’s Eve this year with an [...]

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, [...]
