Fodor's New York City 2024
For over 80 years, Fodor's Travel has been a trusted resource offering expert travel...
Say the words "New York" and icons like Times Square and the Museum of Modern Art may be the first things that pop to mind but the state is also very much a destination for appreciating the outdoors, in every season. Across New York, from Niagara Falls to the tip of Long Island, there are breathtaking hiking trails, lakes and rivers for fishing and boating, mountains for skiing, and lovely ocean beaches for relaxing. And with historical mansions, Revolutionary War sites, stunning mountain lodges, renowned B&Bs, and some of the country's best wineries, there's something for just about everyone.
