Time Out

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.

These are the 10 best cities for fine dining in the U.S.

Rivalries have helped define the New York City hot dog: a slender, all-beef frank with a natural skin, served with a choice of mustard, sauerkraut, and, later, stewed onions. Charles Feltman supposedly put hot dogs in a bun for the first time, sold them from a cart, and called them Coney Island red hots beginning in 1867. Rogue employee, Nathan Handwerker, founded competing Nathan’s, charging five cents instead of 10 cents, in 1916.

Grocery store rotisserie chicken is a delicious and affordable way to add protein to your shopping excursion, and there's arguably no better option than Costco's rotisserie chicken (it took the top spot in our ranking of grocery store rotisserie chickens, after all). This pre-cooked, pre-seasoned chicken is hot and ready in the deli, just waiting for you to take it home after your giant haul at the wholesale retailer. If you've been wary of buying a rotisserie chicken because you fear how long it's been sitting in its package, we have good news. According to Costco superfans and authors David and Susan Schwartz, both of whom spoke with Business Insider, each chicken is available to customers for around two hours. After that, employees remove the time-stamped chickens from the shelf, and they're repurposed into other Costco deli offerings.
