Among the many large cities in the country. I was talking to a friend on AIM lol, and I told him about how last week I had Breakfast in downtown Austin (Crave), lunch in downtown San Antonio (Rita's), and dinner in Uptown Houston (Maggianos).

So we both know have a common friend (He is a California native that no longer lives there anymore or hasn't for several years now) that we know that had Breakfast at the Great Wall of China (near there) lunch on the plane and dinner in London near the Big Ben. (From what the person told)

Anyways, can you realistically list examples of places that you can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner (all three) in three different cities? Large cities/metros by the way, 1 Million + for metros.

And no, Fort Worth, San Jose, Oakland, Saint Paul, Fort Lauderdale don't count. Lol.

Perhaps something like (an example), Breakfast in Boston, lunch in New York City, and dinner in Washington DC.

Please answer the statement in bold. I would like to see the variation of possible choices, and no airline traveling does not count. Haha.

Your turn.

Its funny you mention to Boston-NYC-DC thing, because I did that just last month.

I had Breakfast at Flour Bakery in Boston (One of my favorite bakeries on earth, btw); Hopped on the Acela for a lunch meeting in NYC at Eleven Madison Park; then flew to Baltimore that evening and had dinner at Ryleigh Oyster in Federal Hill.

Since I live between Boston and Istanbul, I do the breakfast on the plane; lunch in Amsterdam or Paris then Dinner in Istanbul thing quite often (factoring in the time changes)

Most recent trip I had lunch at Beurre Noisette in the 15th in Paris then a late dinner at Abracadabra in Istanbul (If you ever go to Istanbul this is a must eat place) I know you said no airplane travel, but this is one I personally do quite often.

Am I missing something, or wouldn't this be the case with any road trip?

Wow...that's pretty effin sweet.

When I was in college I remember staying at a friend's place in NYC one night before making the trip to South Carolina. Though our lunch and dinner weren't exactly in the cities (and they were crappy meals at fast-food restaurants)...we did breakfast in New York City, then lunch outside of Washington DC and a late (late) dinner outside of Charlotte.

I remember another time we left @ like 11pm from Boston...the next day we did breakfast around BMore, watched a Patriots-Jets playoff game while pounding margaritas near Raleigh-Durham, and then drove slightly hammered through a ridiculous rainstorm before stopping for dinner in Charlotte again...there's nothing quite as cool as hydroplaning on the highway while you're buzzing your nips off.
