Honolulu
Honolulu is Waikiki's high-rises pressed against turquoise water, Diamond Head crater glowing pink at dawn, and plate lunches that mix Hawaiian, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and Portuguese into one perfect styrofoam container. Surf the south shore in summer, the north in winter. The North Shore is a 45-minute drive into a totally different world. Aloha here is a way of moving through the day.
full dispatch→Green Bay
Green Bay is the Packers, full stop: the smallest market in the NFL, and the only community-owned team in major American pro sports. Lambeau Field tours run year-round. The city itself is small, friendly, and built on the bay of Green Bay (yes, the bay is also named Green Bay). Tailgating is functionally a state holiday. Hot cocoa, brats on the grill, and stadium energy carry the winters.
