TOP SIGHTS, AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES

Welcome to the USA

America is home to such diverse cities as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Miami, Boston and New York City each a brimming metropolis whose name alone conjures a million diff erent notions of culture, cuisine and entertainment.

This is a country of road trips and great open skies, where four million miles of highways lead past redrock deserts, below towering mountain peaks, and across fertile wheat fields that roll off toward the horizon. The scenic country lanes of New England are a fine starting point for the great American road trip.

On one evening in the US, thick barbecue ribs and smoked brisket come piping hot at a Southern roadhouse, while talented chefs blend organic produce with Asian accents at award-winning West Coast restaurants. Steaming plates of fresh lobster served off a Maine pier, oysters and champagne in a fashion-forward wine bar in California, a decadent slice of deep-dish pizza in Chicago these are just a few ways to dine la Americana.

The USA has made tremendous contributions to the arts. Georgia OKeeffes wild landscapes, Robert Rauschenbergs surreal collages, Alexander Calders elegant mobiles and Jackson Pollocks drip paintings have entered the vernacular of 20th-century art, while Chicago and New York have become veritable drawing boards for the great architects of the modern era.
