What are your favorite spots to visit?

  So what are your favorite places to visit? Can be for any reason and can be any place.
  
  Here my my three favorite places
  
  1. Corey Hill Park
  It's a park near my house. The hill is visible from my house and it looks pretty far away (I always thought it was at least 2 miles), but in reality it's a short 15 minute walk.
  
  What I love about it is at night you can see Boston light up and it's an amazing view. Also it's a park so there's a somewhat huge field. The best place to visit Corey Hill Park is at night during the fall so you can get the best view.
  
  2. Harvard Bridge
  It's a humongous bridge that connects Cambridge to Boston. Again the view is amazing here. You can see downtown boston on one side, and you can see Boston, Allston, and Cambridge on the other. Again best viewed at night.
  
  3. Chesnuthill & Cleveland circle.
  Two different places, but they're so close to each other so I decide to just list them at one.
  Anywho what I love about these places is how they have so many trees on the sidewalk. It's really damn cool and it gives you that "fall" vibe all year long except maybe spring (during the day). Again I love visiting here at night.
  
  I really love going on long walks when I'm feeling low and visiting these places always cheer me up. Love walking at night as you can tell because there's less to no people depending what time I walk and that means no walking behind slow walkers for about 7 minutes and no cars!
  
  What about you guys and gals?

  The top floor of the library at my old campus would be my favorite place to hang out. I'd go there super late at night and with most of the lights closed and just look outside. There's a certain kind of serenity when you're alone at night in a campus that's meant to have thousands of people.
  
  
  It sounds kinda creepy but I enjoy being alone with a dim light in pretty much any large building and just being alone with my thoughts. Although I am pretty introverted so I have no problem being by myself for hours like that. I sound like a vampire or some shit.

  Now this picture here is pretty boring, but I can guarantee you, go there on a good cloudy but sunny day, but at a specific spot a few meters down the mountain and more to the left and you're greeted by a city view rivaled by none in the world.

  Hillside Games, it's a card/table top game store in my area that I visit regularly for local Yugioh tournaments, and also the Deck Box which is basically the same thing.

  Spot.
  
  
  How about a spot where I don't know any of the people.
  
  The ones I know suck.

  There's a cozy bookstore downtown called "Used books and More" and they have a little corner with a big fluffy chair, a bunch of stuffed animals, and sometimes when the sun hits the window just right, a sunbeam that heats up the chair.
  
  Also free wifi.

  Butchhart Gardens was a place I always went on walks with my family as I grew up. And well, I like flowers. I like flowers a lot.

  The dock downtown here is also a wonderful place to walk around for a bit. There's always artists and musicians around.

  And basically any aquarium I go to. I just love the blue glow so much. ;___;
  
  And my house, obviously. My house is the best.

  I live in Wisconsin, the only thing of interest is our giant lake, which the river basin is polluted to hell.
  
  Wisconsin is moderately empty.
