I live in LA and want to spend a couple of days in a city I've never been to. Good public transport is big plus but I'll use Lyft if I have to. I like museums, libraries, public parks, historical sites, and I'm kind of a sports bro so I'd like to catch a baseball or soccer game. Probably take a week in April. So far I'm leaning towards NYC, Chicago, or New Orleans.
DC is awesome for sure. Probably on of the few places I've been to besides NYC where I felt relaxed walking around the city. At least relative to the rest of the US.
