If it extends to a whole state, I would like to visit Albany to try an actual steamed ham. Yanks I've met keep telling me they're not real, but they're probably from Utica.

Then possibly go down to NYC to ask what the fuck the phrase "concrete jungle where dreams are made of" means. Is it just a quirk of US English? "Where dreams are made of"? If I could possibly meet Mr. Jay-Zed, I'd ask him personally, but I assume any pedestrian in NYC could answer me after informing me "[they're] walkin' here".

Finally, I'd like to chase a hoop with a stick from Times Square all the way to Coney Island, just as the founding fathers intended.
