East Coast (United States)

With New York and Philadelphia less than two hours away from each other and the New Jersey and Delaware shores equally within reach, the East Coast is filled with a huge variety of activities all within a short driving distance. On the East Coast, local foods bring people from all over. Order your cheesesteak in Philadelphia 'wit' or 'witout' onions, but be prepared to head to the back of the line if you can't decide quickly enough! Head 'down the shore' to the New Jersey and Delaware beaches and stroll along the boardwalks, where funnel cake, pizza, and battered and fried candy bars tempt sand-covered children and sunburnt exhausted parents alike.

New York

New York is a veritable jungle of high-power business men, long-legged models and sky-scraping buildings. But look deeper and find a place of astounding diversity - the art and music scenes in New York are among the best in the world.
