North American Cities

I might as well do these now that I've done the European ones...

Canada:
Have only seen Montreal; amazing place, with beautiful scenery and great people... Amazing food too...
Niagra falls is on the list, and so are a few cities... But when I'm not sure...

The United States:
New York is... Well... New York!!! You have to visit it; there's nothing like it. The way it captures you and adds you to its fast-pace living is amazing... Dining in the city is awesome, and so is shopping... Not to forget Broadway and off broadway shows!!!
Plus the Empire State is a must-see... And a chopper ride that stars just before sunset (to get the picture from daylight and into darkness)

Rafting in the Pocanos is fun... Paintballing in summer is suicide with the heat!

Washington, D.C. is a very nice more relaxed place (and Maryland included)... The museums there are highly recommended... 
Must-see: Great Falls (Virginia side is nicer than the DC side, but amazing no matter what)... 

Philadelphia is a nice city...  The Penn campus is gorgeous and a lot of fun, not to mention very safe. However, once you leave those few blocks, you sense unease for some reason (maybe it also had to do with my first time being without my parents in a city?)... But there are some sketchy places there... 
Great dining Experiences... one particular restaurant owner's entire list of restaurants was on our to-try list... "Pod, Barclay Prime, Intercontinental, etc." and truly great food in every place...

Boston to come in August (or September is Orientation is too overwhelming).... Hopefully more and more keep getting added...
