Outdoor Chattanooga
Hop on the pedestrian-only bridge to cross into downtown. Below you you'll notice the grass-covered 'living roof' of this city-run agency promoting active recreation. It leads hiking, kayaking and biking trips – call or check the website for schedules. It's also a good resource for outdoor info and trail suggestions.

Orpheum Theatre
Originally built for vaudeville, the Orpheum has been restored to its glittering 1928 glory. Today you can catch big comedy and Broadway shows; but beware – the ghost of a pigtailed little girl named Mary is said to giggle eerily between acts. Tours available – call ahead (901-525-7800).

Old Spot
- Salem, USA
- Restaurants › Pub
It's pub food, to be sure, but so perfectly prepared that it becomes a dining experience – a meat pie with beef and lamb in a Guinness stew, a slow-roasted pork sammie where the pork melts in your mouth, irresistible sweet potato fries. Dim lighting and plush pillows make the place extra comfortable and cozy.

Old Port
Portland's heart thumps from the Old Port, where salt-scented breezes, brick sidewalks and gas-lamp-lit streets just beg for poking about. This restored waterfront district centers on the handsome 19th-century buildings lining Commercial St and the narrow side streets extending a few blocks inland. Once home to the brawny warehouses and merchant quarters of a bustling port, the focus has shifted from shipping to shopping. What to do here? Eat some wicked fresh seafood, down a local microbrew and peruse the numerous galleries.

Old North Bridge
A half-mile north of Memorial Sq in Concord center, the wooden span of Old North Bridge is the site of the ‘shot heard around the world’ (as Emerson wrote in his poem Concord Hymn). Daniel Chester French’s first statue, Minute Man, presides over the park from the opposite side of the bridge.
On the far side of the bridge, the Buttrick mansion contains the visitor center, where you can see a video about the battle and admire the Revolutionary War brass cannon, the Hancock.
On your way up to Old North Bridge, look for the yellow Bullet Hole House, at which British troops purportedly fired as they retreated from North Bridge.

Old Granite Street Eatery
A lovely well- lighted place for organic and local comfort food, old-school artisanal cocktails and seasonal craft beers, this antique-strewn hotspot enchants diners with its stately wooden bar, water served in old liquor bottles and its lengthy seasonal menu. Forgot to make a reservation? Check out the iconic rooster and pig murals and wait for seats at a community table fashioned from a barn door.

Oldest House
Also known as the González-Alvarez House, this is the oldest surviving Spanish-era home in Florida, dating to the early 1700s and sitting on a site occupied since the 1600s. The house is part of a complex that also contains two small historical museums and a lovely ornamental garden.

Olde Pink House
There are fancier and trendier restaurants in Savannah but this 1771 National Landmark on Reynolds Sq is rarely trumped for food or experience. The whole place epitomizes antebellum romance and you'll fall in love with the signature crispy scored flounder (though the menu is chock-full of irresistible Southern-bent delights). The service is casually flawless; the dark and cozy downstairs bar is also worthy of a cocktail pop-in. Damn near perfect.

O-Ku
Scenesters dine on irreverent sushi (try the fried potato-wrapped roll), Japanese street food (try Kurobuta pork sliders with grapefruit puree) and lavish seafood dishes at this new rock star of a restaurant, a big high-ceilinged space with a glammy black paint-and-mirrors decor. The lunchtime bento box ($10) is a steal.
