50 People Tell Us What Tourists Expect From Their State | Culturally Speaking | Condé Nast Traveler

We asked 50 people, one from each state in the U.S., to give us the lowdown on what tourists expect out of a visit. Mountains upon mountains in Colorado? People eating pizza and yelling at each other in the Empire State? Remember the Alamo! Good luck finding the basement. It's Culturally Speaking, on Condé Nast Traveler.
