Pizza enthusiasts may travel around the country to chase down the best pizza in the U.S.—from NYC to Chicago to LA—but sometimes a pie from a national pizza chain just hits the spot. So Pizza Hut fans in two Midwest states were stunned when eight Pizza Hut locations abruptly closed with no warning and no explanation. Not even the staff were notified. The chain confirmed the closures, but did not say why, leaving customers to speculate on the reasons and on the future of their beloved pies.

For many, a huge appeal for vacation is the chance to wander around city neighborhoods on foot, having a cup of coffee here, browsing through shop racks there, stopping at a bakery, spending a few hours at a museum or art gallery. Sometimes, these pedestrian zones might even be blocked by car traffic, so you freely ramble without needing to look both ways before crossing. Plus, walking is good for health and less expensive than renting a car. While we often go abroad and are charmed by those cobblestoned streets and medieval passages brimming with shops and eateries, we’re often hard-pressed to find these walkable cities in a landscape dotted with strip malls, where “Main Street” is often shuttered. (And while Europe and other parts of the world are covered in rails, making it possible to ditch a car and move about freely via train, our rail system is not yet that comprehensive). But fear not, there are plenty of U.S. cities where pleasant strolling can still happen, according to Smart Growth America and its 2023 Foot Traffic Ahead Report. This study looked at the 35 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. and ranked them for their walkability.

Sometimes, you’re at your workspace, and you just want to get up and go. You’re aware that your coworkers are traveling, and you feel stuck, sweaty, and snarly. So, you could do a sneaky little thing that’s called “quiet vacationing.” That’s just when you quietly withdraw to hit the beach for a few hours or run a fun errand. No one knows, and you return to your desk renewed and ready to work hard. That’s this summer’s trend, according to Dollar Flight Club, and odds are you’ve already taken a silent holiday like this before!

One of the big draws for traveling is the chance to try different regional cuisines—and let’s be honest, it’s wonderful to have someone else do the cooking! Some travelers appreciate a simple and fast meal, while others want to sit down to linen tablecloths and something very special. For those who prefer the latter and look for a slow round of carefully prepared courses, a new study has determined the top 10 U.S. cities with the most fine dining restaurants. The U.S. boasts more than 4,500 fine dining restaurants, and these cities offer the most for your beautifully shined fork or chopstick. The list, prepared by The Cookie Rookie, pulls from Google keywords as well as Tripadvisor ratings, and its data is correct as of April 2024.
