Hudson Valley u 3

New York State Famous for making a lasting impression. Whether you’re discovering the Hudson Valley’s magnificent mansions, historic lighthouses on Long Island or the awe-inspiring falls at Niagara; whether you’re diving for treasures in the clear waters of the St. Lawrence, fly fishing in a Catskills river, studying grapes at an award-winning Finger Lakes winery, exploring world famous sites in New York City, visiting the capital city of Albany or the charming town of Saratoga, enjoying the solitude of the Adirondacks, discovering fascinating historical attractions in Central New York or listening to an inspirational speaker at Chautauqua Institution, you’ll know you’re part of something special. No matter the whim, no matter the season, you’ll always find another reason to say, “I Love New York!”

Long Island After some fun at the beach, head out for a quick bite at a roadside lobster stand, where you might spot a celebrity in casual mode, or enjoy a romantic sunset dinner watching the boats come in.

Then wander a harbor front village to find that perfect nautical treasure. Or do some serious shopping at some of the most exclusive shops east of 5th Ave., or land a bargain at the largest outlet center in the country. And, whether you’re looking for a high-end hotel or budget accommodations; or perhaps a charming inn with an ocean view, you’ll be glad you visited Long Island.

IT'S TIME

TO PLAY

Finger Lakes Region We have a different sort of high rise here, as the landscape of concrete and steel and glass has been replaced by rolling hills, lush valleys, and all sorts of shimmering waterways. Once you've arrived, you can breath again. You can take your time. But a slower pace doesn't have to come at the cost of finer things, like world-class art, awardwinning wine, exceptional food. Oddly enough, it offers more of a chance, not only to savor those very things, but to create them.
