Discussion

throwaway91683: A popular historic site isn't a tourist trap. A trap is something built for tourists to take their money once.

lost_burrito: Pike Place is worth it, fight me

angry_falcon: Times Square chain restaurants are the worst part of NYC

LazyHamster7955: Hollywood Walk of Fame is a dirty sidewalk with names on it

HumblePanda47: Alcatraz audio tour is genuinely great. Book ahead.
