A) Orlando lacks foods specific to Orlando: Orlando has restaurants that serve Alligator, I don't know of many places outside of Orlando even in other parts of Florida that have this.
B) Orlando lacks a plethora of mom and pop type places: While its not the diner mentality of the Northeast Orlando certainly has a large selection of 'independent' restaurants or small local chains.
C) Orlando does have too many chains, I hate chains, but we also have a ton of non chain restaurants. And another thing to consider is that a lot of those chains started in Orlando. So in a sense they're local businesses.
If you want to say Buffalo has better wings, diners, burger joints... I could easily see that being true. But you were the one stating "all encompassing" I hardly see how the american diner and sports bar is really all encompassing.
I can get Alligator here in KY, I can also get squirrel and rattlesnake. I can go eat goat, fois gras, whatever I want, we've got a LOT
The top two vacation spots in the United States are Vegas and Orlando. As far as I know, people pick places where they can enjoy themselves. Sin City... Happiest Place on Earth...
I would say most fun cities would be Orlando, Vegas, New Orleans, NYC, Miami, Phoenix, Chicago, San Antonio
I haven't been to CA, but I imagine LA, San Francisco, San Diego and others would be fun places.
But the problem is, majority of us working folk don't spend 9-5 going to all you can eat buffets, big honkin theme parks, floating down a lazy river all day, watching fire work shows at night, and getting our picture with Mickey every day. Most people go away for a week a year to get it all done with at once. We all know people who live in those cities also live the 9-5 work weeks also, and home for seinfeld re-runs like the rest of us, but just at a higher cost.
