Synopsis
Interstate 95 is America's Main Street, stretching from Maine to Miami. It is the U.S.'s busiest highway, with 75,000,000 people living and working along the route, and it journeys though 7 of America's major cities: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Jacksonville and Miami.There is so much to see along the way that one of our fans wrote, Drive I-95 "makes your road trip a vacation unto itself. It mentions many un-advertised and curious stops along the way.". It doesn't get more curious than the bison herd we went eye-to-eye with at Jambbas Ranch in Fayetteville, NC or the Prison Blues clothing made by inmates, "made on the inside to be worn on the outside" or visiting the home of the whoopie pie in ME.

We had some real special, very good lunches/dinners as a direct result of your terrific guide and just wanted to thank you - it added a nice dimension to a trip where enthusiasm can quickly fade. , wrote another fan. World flavors appear on exits: Polish, Japanese, Peruvian, Hungarian, Thai, Bolivian, French, Vietnamese, Mexican, Korean, Irish and Cuban.We've noticed a cheese trend: Cheesetique in Alexandria is a combo cheese shop and wine and cheese bar, while at the Gaylord Hotel in MD, there's a cheese sommelier. For those who want really really fresh food, at Vivero in Bronx, NY, there's a live poultry market where you can buy live chickens, roosters rabbits, turkeys or ducks which get killed on the spot.For fun, in FL you can soar on zip lines over crocodiles and alligators or have an airboat adventure. In VA, try white knuckle white water rafting right downtown. If you stop at Latitude 30 in Jacksonville, you could dine, bowl, play the arcade, watch a sporting event or movie, or enjoy a comedy show, all in one venue.We can't forget our history that happened up and down I-95. You can tour the White House of the Confederacy, or at the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum, learn how this corps keeps soldiers supplied with food, purified water, clothing, showers, laundry services and fuel no matter where they are in the world. Or find out in CT why Benedict Arnold changed sides.And you haven't even made it to the PEZ Visitor Center, or eaten dinner in a bank vault or slept in a former dept store. What are you waiting for - hit the road!
