If you're ever in Rockland County, NY (Southern Hudson Valley), don't miss out on a visit to the
Palisades Center Mall. It is among the top ten largest malls in the United States. The mall features an indoor ferris wheel, carousel and ice rink. It looks like a prison and smells like a city dump some days, but it's not to be missed.
If you're ever in Rabun County, GA (North Georgia), don't miss out on a visit to
The Dillard House. It's a really neat experience. You get seated at a table and they start bringing out the foods of the day. It's all-you-can-eat for one (pretty hefty) price. The food is really delicious and is a great example of the regional cuisine. But, don't expect to do much else but sit somewhere quietly after you leave. You get so full!
