Ithaca, New York: a place of gorges, greenery, gardens - and goats

With a population of just over 32,000, in Upstate's Finger Lakes region on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, a 3½-hour drive from capital Albany and a bit over four hours from New York City, Ithaca is a prominent college town but also a a “gorges” city. I say that because it's surrounded by rocky gorges, many of them with waterfalls - more than 150 within a ten-mile radius.

Sea, sun, fun – and Victoriana: escaping to another era in Cape May, New Jersey

Photos by Victor Block unless otherwise noted My main bit of advice to visitors to Cape May, at the southern end of New Jersey´s famed Jersey Shore: Look up! That’s where you´ll find most the delights of this town of around 2,800, a drive of some 2½ hours south from New York City and just under two hours from Philadelphia.

Photographs of San Francisco and Alcatraz Island and Penitentiary. There is an extraordinary atmosphere, amazing views of the city skyline and far fewer tourists on the Alcatraz night tour - highly recommended! Click here to view the image gallery: SF & Alcatraz gallery

Hi, Zoë! Well, it really depends on your interests -- as you well know, the U.S. is a sometimes bewilderingly varied smorgasbord. Are your interests historic, outdoorsy, cultural, foodie, sporty...?
