Taj Mahal, Shmaj Mahal. Been there, done that. Which of you world travelers with your giant maps marked with little push-pins on all the places you've vacationed have included Hartsdale, New York, on your itinerary? Yes, that suburban town was listed in "Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2009" which calls The Hartsdale Pet Cemetery one of the 10 "best places to die for."

News of this honor is being reported as far as India and Russia, which could send some adventurous tourists to the 112-year-old pet cemetery with its 15,000 plots. It's some much-needed good news for Hartsdale, which in October lost its only other claim to fame, the original Carvel ice cream shop.
