A lot of people assume that San Diego is all Cal-Mex and Mexican food. Of course, the city does this well. However, there are plenty of other options, with lots of diverse food neighbourhoods, including the Convoy, Barrio Logan, and Little Italy. From Japanese and French to New American, there’s something for all tastes.
Do you want to dine in one of the best Michelin-star restaurants? Perhaps you fancy pizza for a dollar? Or maybe you have the munchies for Chinese food at two in the morning? No matter what’s tickling your taste buds, New York has it. In fact, there are entire neighbourhoods dedicated to cultures and cuisines, like Little Italy and Chinatown.
You could spend your life in New York and you’d never be able to eat at all of the establishments there. Plus, there are plenty of other things to do during your stay too. Ben Groundwater’s The One Thing Blog recommends watching at least one sports game when you go to the USA.)
You probably won’t be surprised to learn that New Orleans is deemed one of the best food cities in America. It attracts gastronomes from all corners of the world. You can find classic old-timers, like Antoine’s and Galatorie’s, as well as award-winning, high-end restaurants such as Chophouse New Orleans and Seaworthy. The two new food halls – Auction House Market and Pythian Market – are worth a visit, too. And, don’t forget to visit Willie Mae’s Scotch House for the country’s best fried chicken.
Another city that doesn’t disappoint when it comes to food is Texas. The food scene in Austin, especially, is virtually unrivalled. As you’d expect, you’ve got all the barbecue hot spots, including The Salt Lick, Lambert’s, and Franklin Barbecue.
However, you can also find some of the best over-the-top afternoon tea experiences and delicious sushi. Plus, there are over 1,000 food trucks in the city, serving everything from chow-chow doughnuts to falafel.
Finally, we have San Francisco, which is a city known for innovation, and that’s definitely the case when it comes to the restaurant scene. There’s no shortage of creative options here, including unique hole-in-the-wall eateries, a wealth of farmers markets, and numerous Michelin-starred restaurants.
So, there you have it: an insight into some of the best foodie cities if you’re planning on visiting the U.S. From New Orleans to San Francisco, you’re bound to leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
