Fisherman’s Wharf: California
This location has a glorious history and been around since the 1800s. Fisherman’s Wharf used to be the home of the fishing fleet of San Francisco, and now it is considered as the tourism center.
Today, it is filled with street vendors hunting on tourists and a lot of overpriced junks for sale. It is still interesting to visit this location, but just watch out to not be ripped off!
16th Street Mall: Colorado
Covering more than 1.2 miles in downtown Denver, 16th Street Mall is a transit and pedestrian space that has became a tourist trap similar to Hollywood Boulevard of L.A. and New York City.
The whole place is run by many chain restaurants and stores that are offering many things that are not even related to Denver.
Fountain of Youth: Delaware
