Penguins in Oklahoma? Don’t be surprised! Also, we found a perfect place for meat lovers. The walls at Elmer’s are a testimony of all the famous people who’ve stopped by to enjoy some food. And don’t miss the legendary waitress!

Oxford, Mississippi is described as a fine, small, southern town but there is definitely something that makes it stand out from other fine, small, southern towns: it’s the home of William Faulkner’s tomb, not only a great destination for literary tourism but also for the most bohemian expressions of Oxford’s alcohol-fueled youth. Music, food, friends, books, and booze? What more could you ask for?

Colorful, multicultural Kensington Market is one of Toronto’s favorite spots. Don’t miss the leatherless shoe store, where vegans learn to walk the walk!

There is certain beauty in cheap bars, with their old pool tables and malfunctioning jukeboxes, hiding scars behind neon lights. There is an untold charm in the wobbly stools and the stinking bathrooms. Some people might never be able to see the gritty allure of the dive bar world. Lucky for us, our Bostonian guides have a small budget, thirsty livers, and open minds.

OK. So, you call yourself a basketball player. You have some shots, you have some tricks. So, it’s time to bring your game to the Venice Beach courts where the sport is as real as it gets.

Rock’n’Roll isn’t dead—it just moved to Hamtramck! At least that’s what it seems like after checking out all the goings-on in this “city-within-a-city” near Detroit, Michigan. The lively music venues, happening art and theater scene, Polish food and culture, and hip shops filled with vintage clothing and cool, if not always useful, stuff make Hamtramck a fabulous place to be. Check it out!

Tango has its roots in Argentina, but today this dance of love and passion can be found worldwide. Few places outside of Buenos Aires embrace the close embrace like San Francisco, California. On the street, San Franciscans demand their personal space, but at the milonga, distance falls away like the sun setting on the Golden Gate Bridge. Let’s drop in and see if we can pick up a few steps.

Do you like American music? Do you like the Blues? Rock & Roll? Soul? Maybe even a little Country? If you do, then you are going to enjoy a stroll with us down Beale Street, in Memphis, Tennessee—home of Sun Studios, where Elvis himself laid down his first tracks, and Stax records, which recorded the likes of Isaac Hayes, Otis Redding, and Wilson Pickett.

Finally home! Sigrid talks about her trip home and how it feels to be back after a month away.

For the final days of Sigrid's visit to the New York area, she leaves the rocky North Shore and goes south to a place she knows very well from her childhood—the beach! It's a nice place to visit even in the cooler weather.

We're back on Long Island, exploring the North Shore with an outing to a wildlife refuge on one of the necks, or small peninsulas that jut into the Long Island Sound, the body of water separating Long Island from Connecticut.

This last part about the D&R canal talks about the special bridges that were needed to cross the canal and who had to take care of them. And if you're wondering if the canal is still in use, Sigrid answers that question. There's a special tribute at the end of the video for which you might want this link.

What makes canals so special? In part 2, we explore locks. Locks are like elevators for barges and boats!

After exploring the five boroughs of New York City, we move on to Princeton, New Jersey, where Sigrid gets curious about a canal built in the early 19th century.

In part 2 about the borough of Manhattan, Sigrid completes her overview of all 5 boroughs of New York City. She talks about some nicknames for New York City, including "the Big Apple."

We've finally made it to Manhattan, the smallest but most densely populated borough. When we think of New York City, Manhattan is more often than not what comes to mind. This is part 1.

It's time to have a look at Staten Island, the 4th borough out of 5. It looks closer to New Jersey than to the rest of New York City and has some other peculiarities.

To get from eastern Long Island to the city, travelers and commuters have to go through Queens, so this borough naturally became a very important transit hub, with Jamaica at its center. It also became crisscrossed with many expressways for vehicles.

Having explored the Bronx and Brooklyn, Sigrid now tells us all about Queens, which is geographically speaking the largest of the 5 boroughs of New York City.

Sigrid talks about the different ways to get from Brooklyn to Manhattan, and about some of the characteristics of this borough. For one thing, it is more affordable than Manhattan, although by no means a cheap place to live.
