Under $100: Little Rock, Ark,

Little Rock, Ark., might not be the largest or even the most fascinating city in America, but it certainly is one of the cheapest. You can easily spend a day here exploring the sights without breaking the bank.

Start your day with breakfast at a charming, traditional American diner called The Corner. The kitchen serves morning favorites like eggs, cheesy grits and waffles with your favorite toppings. They also have bottomless coffee to help get you off to a good start. A meal here will run roughly $15.

Next, make your way over to Riverfront Park and explore the area. It’s a quaint little space with fun things for kids (and the young at heart) to partake in. The nearby Clinton Presidential Library and Museum is a great historical site to visit and learn about one of the country’s most divisive and interesting leaders. Entrance is $10.

For lunch, swing by Gus’s for some of his “world famous fried chicken.” The secret recipe has made it a local favorite with people driving in from out of town just to have it. A meal will cost $15.

After stuffing yourself, head back toward the River Market District. This entertainment area has enough shops, gaming areas and tasty treats to keep you busy for a couple of hours. It’s the de facto meeting point for many of the city’s younger residents.

If you have time to spare, the Arkansas State Capitol offers a self-guided tour that provides wonderful insight into both the history of the state along with insights into how the political machine works. It’s free to explore.

Finally, make your way to Flying Fish for a boisterous meal of surprisingly delicious seafood offerings. The boiled shrimp and grouper are highlights of the menu and it’ll only run you about $20 for dinner.
