  • Baton Rouge
    Baton Rouge is a hodgepodge of Louisiana culture, mixing Deep South with Creole and Cajun for an unbeatable mix of style, cuisine and history. Visit antebellum sites like the Old Louisiana State Capitol and Magnolia Mound Plantation or the World War II USS Kidd for more modern history. © Anne Power | Dreamstime.com

    Lexington is often overlooked in favor of Louisville, but the rapidly growing city is quickly rising in popularity. In the past few years, the city received a number of breweries, luxury hotels, fine dining establishments and upscale shopping options. © Americanspirit | Dreamstime.com

    Knoxville, Tennessee, is filled with farm-to-table dining, live music venues and farmers markets.
