Follow the coast through historic places, which will forever be associated with the birth of the United States. New York makes its own history every single day as it constantly grows upwards. Time moves a little more slowly, however, in Dixieland, where the charm of the Deep South wafts over the villas. Then as now, there is plenty to discover here.
