When you think of the best food cities in the US, the usual cities come to mind – New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami and Chicago. But if you’re traveling in search of great eats this year, consider thinking outside the box and heading to these great but underrated culinary destinations instead.
From surprising places to find some of the country’s best food made by immigrants to the growing farm-to-table movement as it mixes with traditional cuisine, these cities go beyond expectations. We’re talking about chocolate from celeb-fave DeBrand Fine Chocolates in Fort Wayne, Indiana, bourbon and burgoo stew in Bardstown, Kentucky or discovering the namesake Pueblo chiles in Pueblo, Colorado. Each destination offers a taste of something new, great and unexpected. So pack up your suitcase, save this list and head out to discover these under-the-radar foodie destinations.
The one thing not to miss: You can’t head down South without trying some barbecue, and you certainly can’t visit Alabama without trying their unique take. Head to Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ by the James Beard award-winning pitmaster. It’s considered the best barbecue in America by some. You can’t go wrong with a customized two-meat combo plate with brisket and whole hog selections, collard greens and hush puppies on the side and a cold cup of sweet tea. Just be sure to save room for the signature banana pudding.
Recent growth and an influx of diverse talent have led to Birmingham becoming one of the South’s top culinary destinations below the Mason-Dixon line. Talented chefs have access to ingredients from fertile farmlands, the Appalachian foothills and the nearby Gulf of Mexico. Go to Hot & Hot Fish Club for tasty Gulf seafood and El Barrio for must-have Mexican tostadas. If you’re craving a fine dining night out, then Chez Fonfon is the place to go for the best French bistro-inspired fare outside of New Orleans.

The one thing not to miss: The famed Pueblo green chile that turned this former steel town into one of Colorado’s best food cities. This Colorado staple can be found at some of the best Mexican restaurants across town – Lobo’s Tacos and Tequila (try the Korean fire taco), Tacos Navarro (try anything with their specialty carnitas) and Estela’s Mill Stop Cafe (don’t miss the stuffed sopapillas). But you can also find some of the area’s famous green chili at Brues Alehouse, located on the Pueblo RiverWalk. They’re known for their brews and burgers, but they have lots of options for vegetarians and vegans too.
You have to try the Slovenian food! Yes, really. Pueblo is home to Bojon Town, a tight-knit neighborhood of Slovenian immigrants

The Best Things to Do in the Berkshires—and Where to Stay
There’s never a wrong time of year to visit the Berkshires, the mountainous stretch of western Massachusetts located just 140 miles north of New York City. You can thank the fall’s vibrant display of foliage, summer’s Tanglewood music festival that draws crowds from all over the world, and a steady tide of new hotel openings to take advantage of as cozy winter getaways and for ski season. The region also has strong roots as an artists community, with a robust community of galleries, independent boutiques, and museums. And for city dwellers looking to stretch their legs, the Berkshires is also home to scenic hiking trails and winter slopes for every activity and ability level.

W Minneapolis–The Foshay Showcases Wealth, Scandal, and the City's Best Views
W Minneapolis–The Foshay has been a part of the Minneapolis skyline for nearly a century in the iconic Foshay Tower. This storied but hip property is located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. It is, by all means, a Midwest landmark—using the original elements of its Art Deco design paired with a modern air of trendiness, tying everything together to create an air of timelessness. The towering structure’s 10-foot tall “FOSHAY” letters can be seen bright and proud from across the city (it’s still the only rooftop sign in downtown Minneapolis), symbolizing its continuing legacy in the city’s skyline.
