SO you’re itching for an all-American adventure this year. We’ve got that covered.
(👀 Reading this before 29 March? There’s up to $700 off rn! T&Cs apply obvs).
But where can you go to partaaaay in the USA? We made this list just for you 😘
Nashville
Two words: Honky. Tonk.
What are they?
Bars with country music, open til the early hours. Try Tootsies (iconic), Honky Tonk Central or AJ’s Good Time Bar (‘nuff said).
Why the weird name? It’s probably onomatopoeia (thx Miss Fisher, Year 9 English 🙏) for the sound the music makes.
Which trip?
Get Social: USA West to East (or flip it).
Vegas
Did someone say poooool party??
WHERE?
From March to September you can barely walk The Strip without plummeting into a pool (not literally, that would be a hazard 👮). Wet Republic at the MGM Grand is one of the wildest.
(Psst… need brunch to sort you out the morning after? Thank us later.)
Which trip?
Get Social: USA West Coast / Get Social: USA West to East or East to West
New York
Time to get hiiiigh at one of NYC’s legendary rooftop bars.
Your fave?
Swing by Magic Hour for sky-high minigolf and nightly DJs.
🌈 LGBTQIA+
Make a beeline for Greenwich Village, Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen neighbourhoods.
Which trip?
Get Social: USA & Canada Express / Get Social: USA West to East or East to West
San Francisco
Activate hipster mode and hunt down the Mission District’s dive bars. Hit up the 500 Club for cheap drinks and vintage jukebox anthems.
Dive *what*?
Dive bars were originally in cellars and basements, so people could ‘dive’ in without being noticed. No swimmers required.
Which trip?
New Orleans
Only one of the biggest and bestest parties EVER = Mardi Gras. It celebrates Shrove/Fat Tuesday in Feb or March – here’s a preview.
Dress code?
Purple, green and gold are traditional but *anything* goes.
🌈 LGBTQIA+
Head to the lower French Quarter to find where Gay Mardi Gras it AT.
Which trip?
Get Social: USA West to East or East to West
Los Angeles
Go all cloak-and-dagger at one of LA’s speakeasy bars. Do a disappearing act inside Black Rabbit Rose (complete with magic shows) or head to Good Times at Davey Wayne’s for retro vibes.
🤫 Shhhh…
History lesson: back in the 1920s when alcohol was banned in the US, speakeasies were illegal bars that sold booze.
Which trip?
Get Social: USA West Coast / Get Social: USA West to East or East to West
San Diego
Jungle clubs. Jazz bars. Craft breweries. Whatever you want, the Gaslamp Quarter’s got it. Fact.
Where to start?
Jump on the mechanical bull at Double Deuce country bar or check out The Tipsy Crow for live comedy and music.
