My current tour is something like NYC- Pittsburgh - Cleveland - Detroit - Hamilton, ON - Buffalo - NYC.
But I'd like to hear your recommendations. I've been located on one coast or the other, everything in between is still a bit mysterious.
Rather than Hamilton, I'd do some time in Toronto and then a day at Niagara falls (across the water from Buffalo).
I think you can find a lot to do in Detroit. Tigers Game, Casino, Henry Ford Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, Cranbrook Museum. There is actually a lot there.
I second other's recommendation to try and hit Chicago, but its a bit of a "big loop" out of the way.
