San Francisco is one of the great American cities for a plethora of reasons. From its winding hills, vibrantly hued houses, stunning views of the Bay, rich history, unique climate, and humble spirit, San Fran undoubtedly stands out as one of the country’s most unique and cherished major cities.

With that being said, it’s also known to be one of the country’s most expensive places to live. After all, it is very close proximity to Silicon Valley, the tech capital of the United States, and its sheer beauty just about makes the price tag worth it.

However, if you’re visiting San Francisco and wish to have a delightful night on the town without breaking the bank, then consider dallying over to one (or all) of our picks for the top 5 lower-cost yet trendy bars in SF. Whether you’re in the mood for a bespoke cocktail or simply a beer on tap, you’ll be able to imbibe something tasty in amazing settings at any of our selections listed below:

Nashville, Tennessee is known for many things, including being a huge hub for the nation’s music scene (including but certainly not limited to country tunes), the black and gold Vanderbilt University Commodores, and of course, good old southern cooking.

However, as far as the culinary scene goes, Nashville certainly isn’t limited to fried chicken and barbecue bites alone. In fact, 80 new competitive and supremely tasty restaurants across all spectrums of culinary life opened last year in the city proper.

While it’s unlikely that you can make them to them all, especially if you’re only visiting for a long weekend (and you want to make sure you can leave with your buttons still done and pants still zippered), we’ve whittled down the top 5 lower-cost yet trendy restaurant options that are sure to make your stay in this southern city worthwhile (and extra tasty).

Brunch is more than just a meal; it’s part sport, part lifestyle.

Trendiness is a huge factor in choosing a great spot for brunch. The hard work comes in when you have to gather your friends in arranging a time (which we all know can be challenging to say the least), choosing the best place, and inching your way in to get a reservation at which you can kick back, relax, and enjoy your food plus a drink (or two, or three… or more if you’re lucky enough to get a bottomless brunch cocktail deal). Brunch is clearly so much more than just eating, so make sure you choose all the factors wisely.

The next time you find yourself in Chicago, consider hitting up one of the following trendy spots that won’t break the bank but will also have you and your crew satiated, happy, and of course, on trend:

Paris is known for many things: the Eiffel Tower, cobblestone streets, an inimitable feeling of romance in the air, and of course, the food. Paris is undoubtedly one of the culinary capitals of the world, but there’s more to it than merely coffee, croissants, and beautifully colored macarons.

Hemingway once called the city “A Moveable Feast,” which it remains to this very day nearly a century after he penned it. Foodies have no shortage of spots to choose from in order to satiate their ever-curious palates.

If you’re interested in getting a nice and varied sampling of delectable foods that the City of Lights has to offer, then look no further than the food tour options on this list.
