Especially in a major city. Usually I’ll pick a place based on one event/location then figure out the rest once I’m there. Then I typically talk to locals, service workers and general internet to find more interesting things to do. What about all of you?

    Why do you think that? It’s as easy as striking up a short conversation with a waiter at a restaurant or someone at a coffee shop.

    If someone chooses one tent pole thing to check out and otherwise just putzes around it doesn’t seem all that strange.

      Because the OP is regurgitating the stupid go where the locals go bullshit that he read on reddit.

      If you go to an area and ask some local where to sights see the local will tell you all the tourist spots. Why? Because those ares are the tourists spots for a reason…

        Sounds more like you’re the one spending too much time on reddit lmao. Social interactions do really happen out in the world. Especially if you’re a friendly person that’s pleasant to be around.

          Bud, how well I socialize with strangers is exactly why I recognize reddit bullshit when I see it.

          My hobby is jet skiing around the chesapeake bay. About a month ago me and two friends did 140 miles on the bay and stopped at many cool sights. I have logged over 100 hours on my ski cruising around the bay this summer.

          I am that local you want to interact with to find what to do if you are visiting the Chesapeake bay for the first time with your boat or jet ski.

          Want to know my advice on where to go on the bay when on your boat in the bay for the first time? Stay in the high traffic area because the last place you want to be is alone on the Chesapeake Bay, until you learn your way around. It is a good way to wind up dead.

          I don’t wear a badge that or T-shirt that says this.

          One of my buddies who rides almost as much as I, just started dating a women who waitresses at one of the dock side spots we frequent. She has worked there three years and just this past weekend, when she came with us, was the first time she had been boating on the bay.

              Dude, if you ever spend a weekend that has good weather and wind with me and my crew on the Bay… you will never spend another summer anywhere else.

                I just shouldn’t ask you about other things I should do around town? Because that would be unbelievable and make me a Reddit phony…
