Long Island revolves around idyllic summers, but there's much to appreciate in its harbor towns and villages throughout the year, wherever your interests lie.

Whether you want to spot scenic waterfalls and gorges or tour some of the country's top attractions, something for everyone awaits in the Finger Lakes.

Anyone looking to escape the bustle of the city should consider spending a day in one of these places, which are undoubtedly the best day trips from NYC.

There are plenty of safe things to do in NYC that help you avoid crowds and follow pandemic protocols while still having a great day or night out.

Just two hours northwest from the hustle and bustle of New York City you can find the quaint and quiet country charm of the Catskills.

Of all of New York City's boroughs, Staten Island is the most mysterious. Located five miles across New York Harbor from Manhattan, the island feels a world apart from the electric energy of the city. Think outside of the Big Apple, and discover the many things to do on Staten Island.

Rochester is a smaller city in New York that sits along the coast of Lake Ontario. If you haven’t heard of the city, you’ll be surprised to know it’s a nexus for international festivals and cultural centers.

If New York is the capital of the world, then Times Square is the capital of New York. The famous stretch of Midtown Manhattan is bursting with star power, from famous people to famous places. While you can't visit Times Square without hitting up the main attractions, you should take your time to sink into the place.

Niagara Falls needs no introduction—everyone has heard of this life&#x2d;changing natural wonder of the world. However, only so many people have had the privilege of visiting it. There are a dozen hiking trails and gorgeous islands that ring the falls, and you owe it to yourself to each and every one of them.

Lake Placid is a village of just over 2,000 residents that's famous for hosting the Winter Olympics (twice!), but there's fun to be had here all year round.

Though perhaps best known for its outdoor activities, Lake George also offers plenty of upscale treats for foodies and culture vultures, too.
