I think it was like 18%-20% range

Yikes! I think SF was more like 14%, but that was a few years ago.

Anyone interested in storming Provincetown? Walkable, beaches, very Buffista-friendly culture. (Not sure about airports - I've only ever driven there.)

Or am I misremembering?

No, those the main reasons why it got ruled out the last time. I think that's basically why NYC never got serious consideration either.

That's one of the pluses of Providence - it's an hour +/- from Boston. And there's a mass transit option: [link]

I will be happy with any or all P cities on the east coast, since that seems to be where we're headed.

Wasn't Seattle close to 20%?

I would love that, but I think getting there would prove difficult.

I tried scouting for NYC hotel deals last time and got nowhere close to the price range we generally aim for. Even in Brooklyn.

Jess, I added to my post. You're right, SF is 14% and Philly is a bit higher. I think what I was remembering were additional hotel fees and surcharges in Philly that weren't necessarily taxes (same in SF).

It's also where buses to the Cape and the Islands change so I think there are probably decent bus options from NYC as well.

Hell, I remember Nora scouted Salem, MA, and even outside of the big tourist season (aka October), the options were seriously limited/expensive.

I know Amtrak goes through Providence on the Boston/New York run, so there's that too.

I wish there were Buffistas who lived in Charleston or Savannah, 'cause I would love to visit either of those.
