Speakeasy Bar in Manhattan

They're not easy to find, but our Local Specialists let us in on all the best hidden speakeasy bars in Manhattan. Once we got inside one of these tiny but charming bars, it felt like we got a small taste of what life was like during the Prohibition in New York. It was all about classy cocktails, jazz music and an intimate vibe where we could chill out all night.

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN UNITED STATES

With deep-dish pizza, tangy Buffalo wings, fresh lobster roll and all the hotdogs and burgers you can dream of… USA food is the gift that keeps on giving.

Chicago-style Pizza

Forget everything you know about pizza and get ready for a whole new world of deep-dish pizza in Chicago. In this city it’s all about three-inch flakey and buttery crusts loaded with chunky red sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. These pizzas are so deliciously thick, you’ll need to eat them with a knife and fork!

Buffalo Wings

So you’ve heard of chicken wings, now get ready for buffalo wings. These chicken wings aren’t breaded and instead are deep-fried and tossed in a sauce made from mild hot sauce and melted butter. Dip them in a blue cheese or ranch dressing and tuck right in.

Lobster Roll

If you like seafood on your sandwiches, you’re in for a real treat in the United States. The lobster roll is a specialty of the Northeast, where American lobster is pulled fresh from the ocean then loaded up on a grilled bun. Whether you like them served hot with butter or cold with mayonnaise, there’s no better way to eat it than with a beer and a view of the beach.

WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT THE USA

Summertime is a classic favourite in the USA but don’t forget about the gorgeous autumn and pretty spring - basically any time from April to November is a dream for a holiday in the USA.

Best Time to Visit The United State’s Iconic Cities

If you want the warmest weather to visit the best cities in the USA like New York and Los Angeles, go in the summer, or autumn and spring for milder weather and fewer crowds.

Best Time to Visit The United State’s National Parks
