I've been to all 50 states. There's still just one city I love visiting most.

I have visited all 50 states, but when I think about the city that I find the most dynamic, New Orleans rises to the top. It's magical. I've been to New Orleans a few times - to see friends, immerse myself in its culture, and attend a conference. But ultimately, my love for the city rests on three pillars: its character, spirit, and cuisine.

'What Vegas used to be like': A 1950s trend is back on the Strip

Of the many nightlife options on the Las Vegas Strip, The Pinky Ring is unique. It's not a concert venue per se, but once you're inside, it's impossible not to gravitate toward the stage, which floats at the edge of a cozy, rotunda-like room. A six-piece band supplies a steady stream of funk and R&B hits from the 1980s and '90s, and the warm, pulsating sound has the exhilarating effect of a tabernacle choir.
