Cacth flights, not feelings
Visiting any of these cities in the United States? Hereโs my recommendations on local eats and Instagrammable spots.
PORTLAND, OR
If coffee shop vibes and waterfall hikes ruffle your truffles, Portland is the optimal spot for a weekend trip. This Oregon city is home to local eateries with high food integrity; a lot of restaurants and shops tailor their menu based on in-season ingredients and scratch-made components.
HOUSTON, TX
Everything is bigger in Texas, including their fast-casual dining scene. Houston is infamous for their hearty BBQ dishes and dry-rub seasonings, however, smaller shops are beginning to offer a sweet twist by focusing on aesthetic bites that taste as sweet as they look.
FT. LAUDERDALE. FL
Though South Florida is known for hype, energetic spots like Wynwood, SoBe (South Beach), and Brickell, the northern portion of SoFlo is home to small-town shops and cafรฉs that offer a more accurate vibe of locals when theyโre not strutting the city streets.
