We partnered with Resonance earlier this year to bring you some of America’s Best Small Cities, now we are diving into some of the categories that mean the most to you. First up: your caffeine fix. So how did we do it?

Whale watching and skiing is accessible seasonally, while the slow drip is available year round. Check out the full list here.
