2007 Awards: Destination of the Year

This was a tricky category this year, but after some debate, we finally came up with the top spot of 2007: It's the United States of America.

Seriously! We can't walk down the streets of New York for the crowds of Europeans who are shopping up a storm in the city on the backs of their strong currencies. And with prices so high on the Continent, Americans can skip it for all the stuff to see on their home turf.

Need some help with ideas? This year we've discovered music venues from San Francisco to Seattle, explored New Orleans, tracked down some great raw bars and scoured Upstate New York. If none of that suits, you can always just set out on an epic road trip.
