I live in LA and want to spend a couple of days in a city I've never been to. Good public transport is big plus but I'll use Lyft if I have to. I like museums, libraries, public parks, historical sites, and I'm kind of a sports bro so I'd like to catch a baseball or soccer game. Probably take a week in April. So far I'm leaning towards NYC, Chicago, or New Orleans.
New Orleans is one of my favorite cities that I've ever been to so I can vouch for that. As long as you like food, drinking, and live music you'll have a great time.
