Is this the most beautiful city in the US? ‘Under the radar' spot beats out usual suspects in new debate
Ahead of prime summer travel season, one Reddit user caught the Internet's attention — and, to no surprise, plenty of strong opinions — when they posed the question, 'What is the most beautiful city you've ever been to in the USA?' Charleston, Chicago, Savannah, and Washington, D.C. were top contenders, but ultimately, Seattle won out on this particular thread. Sorry, New Yorkers — the Big Apple didn't make the cut, though one commenter acknowledged: 'NYC is a favorite of mine, it's not the cleanest I've been to… but the city just has a beauty, an energy, that I haven't found elsewhere in the USA.' 4 Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest. FIFA via Getty Images How was the city's victory determined? Simple — it was both the top-ranked reply and the most common answer by volume. The seasoned travelers in the comments agreed that the city offers plenty in the way of nature, architecture, food, and culture. 'Seattle is gorgeous and honestly the cleanest city I've ever seen. It's remarkable,' one user gushed, prompting this response from a nonchalant resident: 'I mean, we'll take it, but I've lived here a decade and literally never heard that. Glad we made a good impression.' Visitors pointed out the Seattle Fish Market, the city's waterfront district, cultural institutions like the Museum of Pop Culture and the Volunteer Park Conservatory, several bar districts with top-notch breweries, and, of course, the Space Needle as highlights. 4 Pike Place is the city's most famous shopping district and home to the beloved fish markets. UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images 4 Snow crab, halibut, Alaskan salmon, and caviar are some of the most popular offerings at the Seattle institution. Getty Images Seattle is also celebrated for the plethora of natural landmarks that it offers. While many such attractions aren't directly within city limits, the area boasts an undeniably stunning view of Mt. Rainier, and Seattle residents agree that these sights are in a remarkably close concentration, compared to other U.S. cities. 'I grew up in Seattle and currently live here. It's absolutely beautiful. The best part is that it's only 1 to 3 hours away from even more beautiful outdoor places,' one Redditor wrote. 'When the sun is shining, you can't find a prettier vista than the one looking out over the bay with its sapphire-colored water,' said another. 4 Mt. Rainier, an active volcano, stands 14,411 feet above sea level. Getty Images As summer rolls around and temperatures rise to unbearable levels across the country, many participants in this now-viral thread recommend vacationing in Seattle to cool off. 'I may be biased, having grown up there, but I am still convinced that no city in America has better summers than Seattle,' a commenter declared. 'Warm but not too hot, rarely rains, mountains surrounding you, water everywhere, not too many bugs. Just the perfect place for summer.'

Plane Passenger Was Stopped by TSA and Almost Received an $800 Fine for Traveling with an Apple
A TikTok user said her apple was confiscated and she was almost fined and denied future travel penalties after forgetting to declare the item The woman had been returning to the United States after a trip to Amsterdam 'When in doubt, declare it to avoid fines and confiscation,' she warnedA woman returning home from a trip abroad claimed she was stopped at the airport and almost faced a hefty fine as well as future traveling restrictions after forgetting to declare an apple at customs. Last week, TikTok user Discovering with Dina posted a video of herself standing in a baggage claim area with a small suitcase and a carry-on. 'She doesn't know it yet but a K9 is about to walk up to her and smell the apple that she forgot to declare in customs causing her to almost get fined $500 and get Global Entry revoked,' she wrote over the clip. Dina explained her ordeal in the caption, warning others, 'DON'T make this mistake!' A customs agent reportedly told her, 'I could fine you $500 right now and revoke your global entry.' 'I was standing there waiting for my luggage and a Customs & Border Control Officer came up to me, saying the K9 is smelling food and asking me if I had anything,' she wrote. 'Shoot… I forgot I had an apple on me from Amsterdam that I was supposed to declare at customs.' Dina said her passport was confiscated, and her bags were then checked by airport officials. Lying about the apple could have cost her a $300 fine, while she would have gotten 'another $500 fine for actually having the apple and Global Entry.' She then shared a few tips on how to avoid her mistake, which meant 'declaring purchases over $800, cash including travelers checks over $10,000, [and] ALL food, plants, and animal products.' 'When in doubt, declare it to avoid fines and confiscation,' Dina wrote. 'Thankfully, I was given a warning because this is my first offense, but this was a reminder to take it seriously. I genuinely forgot about the apple, and declaring it wasn't top of mind since they stopped having you fill out those forms on the plane. I also didn't know you are supposed to declare all food, even if it's processed,' she added. Users shared similar experiences in Dina's comment section. 'Just lost global entry and $500 over a plum that was completely unintentional,' one person wrote. Another added, 'I legit declared an unopened can of Diet Coke bc they made it seem like I'd be sentenced to the electric chair 😭😭.' 'Yes! I tell people this, bringing in agriculture is like a step away from being a terrorist. It is a big deal,' another said.

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 'Many agriculture products are prohibited entry into the United States from certain countries because they may carry plant pests and foreign animal diseases.' 'All agriculture items must be declared and are subject to inspection by a CBP Agriculture Specialist at ports of entry to ensure they are free of plant pests and foreign animal diseases,' the agency added. Fresh fruits are among the prohibited items listed. Read the original article on People

Does California have the best restaurants in the country? Yes. Here's our proof
Los Angeles can feel like a microcosm of the whole world, particularly when it comes to dining. At some point, though, the road will call. Maybe it's a two-hour drive into the desert, or a short flight to the Bay Area, or a quiet coastal stretch where the marine layer doesn't burn off until early afternoon. There are reasons to go — and eat — everywhere in California. Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Ethiopian, Syrian, Italian: As you'll find in this guide to the 101 Best Restaurants in California, these cuisines embody who we are, and they're only the jumping-off point. Many entries on the list include additional recommendations, and the Times has previously published deeper dives (based on my ongoing statewide reporting) into San Francisco, San Diego and Palm Springs. More will be coming.
