Ashley Madison has a "Traveling Man" service too that I am... kind of interested in, it seems a lot more inexpensive than an escort but also probably a lot more random and likely lower quality.
Restaurants and hotels as well as if I am in a town with decent clubs I sometimes do a tour before I settle on one or two to frequent while I am in area.
So far I always use a rental car, hotel rooms, food joints, stripclubs, bars, casino if I can find one, escorts, massage parlors, comic stand up if its in town
Years ago, I traveled way too much. It was fly, cab, work, cab, hotel, dinner, sleep, cab, work, etc. Then I grew somewhat wiser and rented a car even in the big cities. Then came 9/11 and flying became a hassle, so I started driving. That allowed me to schedule "travel days" an write off a lot of otherwise personal expenses and relax more. Then I grew truly wise and took early retirement. Now I still travel but on my terms.
I do a little business, part-time-self-employed, usually driving wherever I need to be. But now when I drive; I stop whenever I see something interesting, stay over when I want to, go the long way just because and occasionally cancel my job because I found something more fun to do. I visit museums and old battlefields, eateries that are off the beaten path, and SCs day or night. I used to think life was good. Now it is much better.
I like museums, art galleries, live theatre, botanical gardens, bird sanctuaries, funky ethnic restaurants; but best of all for me is a good blues bar, usually found in the tavern of a sleazy skid road hotel. I also love to go to farmers' markets and to drive through farming areas if I have time.
And, I have been known to while away an hour or two if I can find a wine bar with a good Bordeaux list.
There is nothing quite like starting a good night off well fed, so I guess that good restaurants would qualify. Steaks and great seafood are my weaknesses, along with good alcohol. Many a night I have spent eating in a city's finest steakhouse, and imbibing fine spirits, while planning a night in some of the sleaziest shithole clubs that the city has to offer. ;)
I also enjoy good authentic Irish pubs. Again though they end up being a night starter rather than the end game. A well made Shepherd's Pie or Guinness Stew, washed down with strong alcohol, just kicks a night off right. What is especially nice is the light tab that normally accompanies the opening rounds on a pub night, in contrast to the much heftier tab associated with fine dining experiences.
But I have to say that all roads ultimately lead to strip clubs, especially when I am traveling. Not much else really interests me from an entertainment perspective, as sad as that is to say.
Shoot, I travel all over the place and the first three things I do when I get into a new town is hit McD's, Taco Bell and KFC. Then I review them on Yelp. I feel like I'm providing a very useful and important service because people just don't review them much on the websites. Sometimes I'm the first reviewer! lol
Surf spots you've never hit. Independent book stores-not too many left. Baseball parks-minor or major. Like Farmerart, the local farmer's market. Churches, temples, etc. Live music with an actual dance floor. Getting to train with other martial artists on their home turf-great and humbling experiences.

But I always managed to spend a little downtime to visit a museum, aquarium, or zoo. Made me feel like less of PL.
