United States
New York
The Empire State is well-known for the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, the largest city in the country, where over 90% of the state's population resides. Escape the metropolis to discover many other regions of rural oasis and recreation. Head upstate by horse, boat, bike or foot to explore the enchanting regions of the Hudson Valley and Catskills, where fly-fishing was born in the Beaverkill River. New York ranks among the top three wine producing states, much thanks to the Finger Lakes, where grapevines blanket the hillsides. Further west the thundering Niagara Falls can't go unseen or unheard. Up north beautiful Lake Placid, the scene of two Winter Olympic Games, can be found amidst the unspoiled forests, mountain peaks, and sparkling streams of the Adirondacks region. Here you can hit the slopes or the links on a championship golf course. It's up to you to pick your place to relax for longer than a New York minute.
