When you plan your holidays, do you ever factor in the local cuisine when deciding where to go? The number of travelers seeking culinary adventures has definitely risen over the past few years, in fact, according to the Travel Industry Association of America, more than 58% of American leisure travelers take culinary or wine-related activities at their destination into account before booking. Travelocity has prepared a list of some of the best places to visit if food is what you are looking for. A few are obvious, while others come as a bit of a surprise. The list includes Barcelona, Spain; Boulder, Colorado; Charleston, South Carolina; Las Vegas, Nevada; London, United Kingdom; Montreal, Quebec; New Orleans, Louisiana; New York, New York; Rome, Italy; and San Francisco, California.
Regarding Vegas, as an example, they state "If you want your foie gras topped with shaved truffles and dusted with gold, it's a sure bet it can be found here." If you've visited Las Vegas any time recently, you know that is all too true. Gone are the days of $1.99 steak sandwiches - fine dining has taken over the town.
Have you been somewhere that you feel should have made the list instead of those places, or do you agree with their picks?
