The post America’s Most Haunted Hotels & Restaurants to Check Out This Halloween appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Fans of Stephen King’s 1977 horror novel “The Shining,” may be familiar with the Stanley Hotel as the inspiration behind the story’s Overlook Hotel. In real life, the Stanley is believed to be one of the most haunted hotels in America, occupied by the ghost of its former owner Freelan Stanley’s wife Flora, among other spirits. With four restaurants and a whiskey bar, it has no shortage of places for guests hoping to encounter some paranormal activity to dine as they wait.
Located in the historic town of Deadwood, this hotel and restaurant dates back to the days of the Wild West. Visitors and hotel workers have reported encounters with the hotel’s original owner, Seth Bullock, since his death in 1919, sharing that his ghost continues to keep a watchful eye over the establishment. Enjoy a meal at Bully’s, the in-house restaurant and bar, or book a room and stay overnight—if you’re brave enough, that is.
One of Savannah’s oldest restaurants is also believed to be the city’s most haunted. Since 1754, The Pirates’ House has hosted more than its fair share of questionable guests, initially operating as a gathering place for criminals and sailors. Today, its historic charm and fascinating history draw diners from around the world hoping to catch a glimpse of pirate apparitions.

]]>Ruby Falls is located deep inside Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee. At 145 feet, it’s the tallest underground waterfall open to the public in the entire US. The falls are illuminated with LED lights that make the water appear to glow in different colors. Walking to the falls is a bit of an adventure and involves navigating several narrow passageways, but the reward at the end is well worth it.
This waterfall is tucked away in the White Mountains and is one of the tallest waterfalls in New Hampshire. The hike to the falls is only about 1.5 miles long, and, although a bit rocky in parts, is easy enough for families with children. We recommend visiting in late spring or early summer when the stream is usually strongest.
Theodore Roosevelt once referred to Burney Falls in Northern California as the “Eighth Wonder of the World” in reaction to its spectacular beauty. The 129-foot waterfall is fed by underground springs and is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a popular spot for hikers and nature lovers alike.

]]>For the first time in the doll’s 64-year history, she will be the subject of a live-action film. Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon, and Ncuti Gatwa are just some of the famous faces bringing Barbie and Ken to life, while Will Ferrell is set to play the CEO of the toy company.
In anticipation of the film, which hits theaters in July, a Barbie café is coming to New York City and Chicago.
The idea belongs to Bucket Listers which is no stranger to bringing our favorite characters to life. These are the guys who have created pop-up cafés inspired by the Golden Girls, Blockbuster, and Bad Blood by Taylor Swift.
And now, Malibu Barbie is getting her turn.
The restaurant will have a 1970s beachside feel and be set within her California dream house. Expect loads of pink, brunch favorites, and other casual food created by Becky Brown of MasterChef fame.
The pop-up is scheduled to open on May 17 in New York, and in Chicago on June 7. Tickets go on sale on April 19.

]]>The epicenter of trendiness kicks off the summer music festival season in Indio, California. All the top Instagrammers, millennial celebrities, and “somebodies” go there to lavish in all of the latest popular music, food trends, and photo opportunities. Performers range from popular rappers to the more alternative, trippy artists like ODESZA.
Meet Coachella’s relaxed cousin, also known as Gov Ball. There’s less of a fashion show feel and more of a fun-loving atmosphere since it’s held the first week in June, after all of the college graduations. Gov Ball is hosted on Randall’s Island in New York City and is built around its artist lineup and amazing, interactive art.
This festival is one of the longest, lasting four days in Manchester, Tennessee. And it offers way more than just a killer lineup of the hottest musicians. For starters, they offer a camping…or glamping plaza with already pitched and decorated tents to sleep in with a host of activities day and night. Break a sweat running the Bonnaroo 5k, relax with a yoga morning sesh, or catch a show at The Little Cinema!
This festival is the most recent annual installment of the bunch – it’s only two years old! The good vibes take place in the Citifield parking lot in Queens, New York. Their lineups are incredible big names, and they range in genres. What do people love most about The Meadows? The food! The Meadows is known to produce an incredible food lineup that will keep your happily nourished throughout the long, head-banging day.
