Everyone knows the postcard-worthy landmarks in their city, but ever think that people could be some of the most exciting and sought-after tourist sights around town? Street performers are an integral part of any urban landscape; they offer social commentary, perform impressive stunts, add cultural flavor, and create some pretty hysterical photo ops. Certain street performers are such prominent local figures that they’ve become almost like icons of the city or neighborhood where they set up shop, delighting (or just plain scaring the pants off) locals and tourists alike.
1. The Bush Man, San Francisco, California
The Bush Man usually sets up camp on the sidewalk of Fisherman’s Warf, a classic San Francisco tourist spot, where he spends his days frightening unassuming tourists from behind a homemade “bush” that consists of leafy tree branches. Although his costume is makeshift and pretty minimal, he has a huge impact. Clueless passersby often jump and scream (and then give the Bush Man a few dollars) with surprise. Cut to the 0:53 mark in the video to get a sense of how convincing Bush Man can be playing a bush!
2. The Naked Cowboy, New York, New York
This isn’t your average cowboy … he’s hunky, has long hair, plays the guitar, and hangs out in the center of Times Square practically naked. Wearing only tighty-whities that say “Naked Cowboy” on the tush, this guy lures female tourists with his good looks and charm as they line up to take pictures with him. He’s become such a Times Square landmark, M&Ms made a cartoon commercial with the Blue M&M dressed up like the Naked Cowboy.
It recently came to my attention that my life would be easier and less stressful if I carried a cucumber with me everywhere I go. Cucumbers can provide travelers with a quick fix for a number of common inconveniences, and I’ve compiled a cucumber travel guide below to give you more details. So, the next time you’re working on your travel gear list or thinking about what travel gear you need to buy when you land, don’t write off the cucumber!
1. Feeling tired? Cucumbers offer the perfect combination of B vitamins and carbohydrates to give you a natural afternoon lift that will last way longer than coffee, energy bars, or energy drinks. Plus, they’re way cheaper than a Starbucks latte (perfect for the frugal traveler).
2. Want to look hot in your bathing suit? If you’re going somewhere warm and know that you’ll be lounging by the pool or beach in your suit, rub a few cucumber slices along spots of cellulite on your skin to make the cellulite less visible. Cucumbers have a photochemical makeup that causes collagen in your skin to tighten, so it’s not only good for cellulite, but also for reducing eye puffiness and wrinkles. Forget luxury body creams; cucumbers are where it’s at for travel gear that’s sure to preserve your beauty while you’re on the go.
3. Sunburned? If you or your kids get scorched by the sun, rub some cucumber on the burn. It’s just as good as aloe and essential for any warm-weather traveler.
4. Party animal with a hangover? If that spring-break vacation, business meeting over cocktails, or carefree vacation lifestyle caused you to drink a little more than usual, grab a cucumber. If you eat just a few slices before going to bed, your hangover and headache will be gone in the morning! Why? The balance of sugar, B vitamins, and electrolytes in cucumbers replaces the nutrients your body lost and keeps you feeling good as new.
