Times Square: New York, New York
Travel books always recommend that first-time visitors to New York see the city and Times Square. But, as any genuine New Yorker knows, you should avoid Manhattan’s Times Square at all costs. Times Square, located in the heart of Manhattan, is congested and full of pricey souvenirs and chain restaurants that aren’t unique to the area. The neighborhood also has massive boutiques and individuals dressed in crazy outfits for photos. For those who dislike crowds, Times Square is not the place to be.
Corn Palace: Mitchell, South Dakota
South Dakota is well-known for its magnificent national parks and other natural beauties. South Dakota attractions include the Badlands National Park, Custer State Park, and Mount Rushmore. While these are popular and well-deserved, another tourist attraction, the Corn Palace, is vastly overrated. The Corn Palace is a structure that is decorated in murals made of corn and other grains. It is a concert arena that hosts concerts, sporting activities, and other events. The bottom line is that if you aren’t attending an event or game at this arena, it isn’t worth the trip.
