I've been to the tri-state area (NJ, PA, NY) 6 times and I must say that I preferred Washington DC over NYC/Tri-state areas so I think you should try include it in your road trip, specially over shit like Missouri, Oklahoma etc that's just miles of cornfields and farmers.

mAhla 22 Jan 2013, 13:36
Hmm.. Okay, thanks for the tip. Need to ask my friends what they think about it :p

Also, how old are your friends? 90% sure you need to be over 25 to rent a car in USA.

mAhla 22 Jan 2013, 14:47

Nice! Can I ask you a question? What's the budget?
▼
mAhla 22 Jan 2013, 13:33
Smth around 4200€ - 5000€. I'm going with 3 friends of mine, so I'm saving on gas / hotels / car rent pretty much :)

you should honestly just stay on the east coast. Id hit up NYC definitely its like 5 cities in one and blows every other city in america out of the water. What country are you from btw? There are several neighborhoods in Brooklyn/Queens/Bronx that are like little versions of countries (ex Brighton Beach is little Russia, Greenpoint little Poland)

We definetly want to drive throught whole country. And I'm from Finland

+1 about new york having alot of shit, you won't get bored there but the people are pretty rude. so I don't think its good for someone like him, Usually if you ask for help or directions you get ignored or people telling you to fuck off

mAhla 22 Jan 2013, 19:31
New York is also pretty expensive to stay for almost one month ;)
Parent

Tupac 22 Jan 2013, 20:21
thats an urban myth, most people are more than willing to help you with directions etc. The subway system is simple to navigate too.

Tupac 22 Jan 2013, 15:38
also i live 20 mins away from six flags, but make sure you go to the park during the week during the day early, otherwise your waiting like 2 hours for the good rollercoasters

mAhla 22 Jan 2013, 17:26
Oh, thanks for the tip. Need to keep this in mind :)

If you swing by Pittsburgh PA make sure you eat at a Pirmanti Brothers. http://www.primantibros.com/ (Best eats possible in the States).

Also recommend Wal-Mart. Its customer base is the main draw. :D http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

Niagara Falls is awesome, but the Canadian side is much better. Though cheaper alcohol on the American side.

From F to R you will be the most bored you have ever been. I would suggest going down I-95 to Florida then drive through the bottom states where there's some real murican culture. HIT UP H-TOWN (Houston) and texas is way too good to not experience.
