America: The land of the big and the bountiful. You can gasp at the sheer scale of America’s landmarks\u00a0while pondering a 15-pound cheeseburger<\/a>, towering skyscrapers and breathtaking enormity of the Grand Canyon<\/a>. Truth be told, when surrounded by such eye-popping giants, the more minuscule attractions tend to\u00a0be overlooked. No more! It\u2019s time to shine a\u00a0light on the little guys. Here\u2019s a pocket-sized list of 5 tiny American landmarks.<\/p>\n

San Francisco\u2019s smallest park<\/strong><\/p>\n

You won\u2019t be bothered by the bustle of the big crowds at Jack Early Park, San Francisco<\/a>, as it fits a whole two people. The story goes that Jack, who built the park in 1962, wanted a place to bring his lady sans chaperone, and so they made this spot their love nest. Just off Telegraph Hill, this petite park boasts some of the best views in the city and overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge.<\/p>\n

Ann Arbor\u2019s teeny tiny doors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ann Arbor<\/a>, Michigan has some of the most discerning mice in the country. Or so it seems. Stop by Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea\u00a0and\u00a0you\u2019ll notice a teeny doorstep at your feet.\u00a0 Walk around town and you\u2019ll find dozens more of these tiny little doors. As\u00a0much as we’d like this to be evidence of\u00a0the existence of fairies or a flurry of sophisticated rodents, it is actually the work of artist Jonathon B Wright\u2014<\/a>although he has only claimed one door, so who knows where the others came from?<\/p>\n

Cleveland\u2019s least-crowded bar<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you think the elevator in your building would be better with a beer keg, you\u2019ll like Close Quarters Pub in Avon Lake. Just an hour west of Cleveland<\/a>, this 11-seater bar is a favorite among locals, who fiercely maintain that it is the home of the best wings in Ohio. This spot won\u2019t be fun for the claustrophobic amongst us, but it sure will be a blast for everyone else.<\/p>\n

A museum in a New York elevator shaft<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York<\/a> elevator shafts used to be the thing of nightmares but, now, thanks to some New York art enthusiasts, one has been rescued as a mini museum. Just a short detour off Broadway, Mmuseumm<\/a>\u00a0is a 60-square-foot space that offers a peek at objects from cultures and current events happening around the world\u2014from DNA simulated 3D heads to bulletproof backpacks and North Korean household goods.<\/p>\n

\"Depoe

Depoe Bay, Oregon<\/p><\/div>\n

The littlest harbor in America<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the traditional sense of the word landmark\u2014marking where sea ends and land begins\u2014this site of interest does the job. The littlest harbor in the world, Depoe Bay, Oregon is just like any other harbor. But really, really<\/em> small. Oh, and it’s also the set for countless Hollywood films, the whale watching capital of Oregon, and the best seafood in the country. No biggie.
