Visited East Coast for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $68/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
