I would fib and tell them Tofino and parts of Uculet have been part of the US since 1967 so that they go there and spend their holiday dollars. Cheers!

There is sight seeing and then there is the American experience.
Grand Canyon is beautiful but is not the American experience. So I geuss it would depend on what type of experience they were looking for.
There is Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Smoky Mountains, ocean beaches, rivers and lakes etc.
One area...North/central Tx. People are very nice. Can visit the Alamo, Six Flags, Sea World, Schlitterbahn water park, San Antonio or Dallas Zoo, take a tour of a company that makes Dinosaur animatronics, see fossilized dinosaur tracks, see the Perot Museum in Dallas.

Well after you tell them to skip it could you please recomend that they visit Vancouver Island. We are trying push ecotourism to save our trees from the logging companys. If they are not into saving trees tell them thar there are some narley surfing waves on our west coast and they will have to pass through a rainforest to get there (it is a temperate rainforest but still a rainforest so you wouldn'the be lying ). Cheers!
Downtown Baltimore. Lots and lots and lots of exotic dancers among other things. WORLD FAMOUS!!!

Anywhere. I would assume that said foreigner might be thinking of the "stereotypical American experience", but if they say "real" then I'll show them that a "real American" can live in any part of the country and there's plenty to see and experience no matter where you are. I'd show them the natural wonders of California then maybe finish with a backyard barbecue. :)
I would suggest small towns. That is how you get a feel for a country. It is what I've always done when visiting other countries. I've spent much time in both England and France but have yet to see Paris or London. I saw Muchen because of the Olympics. The only people I know who are like New Yorkers are, well, New Yorkers. The city.
Also, I would tell them that time is of the essence....
