The city that never sleeps really should be on everyone's bucket list. New York City has everything from incredible restaurants to world famous art galleries to fantastic Broadway Shows. There is every kind of accommodation available in Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs so you will really be spoiled for choice. The weather in New York changes enormously from season to season. The winters are bitterly cold with a lot of snow whilst the summer season can be swelteringly hot. Keep this in mind when you are planning your vacation and pack accordingly.

6. Boston

Another gem of a city on the East coast, Boston is a wonderful city both to visit and to live. You really get a sense of the melting pot of cultures which helped to create the city as you walk through the streets and see the Irish and Italian heritage everywhere.
