A threesome of us (me, Kevin, my sister Mary) have a tradition of getting away near Christmas-time for three or four nights each year in Manhattan. However, she's going to have a four-day conference in NYC in early December so we are thinking of breaking tradition and going somewhere else this year.
It must have an urban vibe...we like to eat, drink, people-watch, shop, and do silly touristy things on these trips, and take in a cultural amenity or two. Chicago and DC are also out, because she's already traveling to both of those cities over the next month or so, too.
Since it's only three or four nights, we don't want to go more than one or at the most two time zones away. Suggestions? Asheville, Savannah and Charleston are already being kicked around between us.
