New York Bed and Breakfast Budget Hotel Guest House Accommodation
New York City, the largest city in the state, is world famous as the main gateway for immigration to the US, and its status as a financial, cultural, transportation and manufacturing centre. It is a city which can be seen as symbolic of the nation as a whole. Visitors to New York could easily be distracted by all that this unique place has to offer, without casting a glance further afield, to see what other sites are accessible on a short drive from the metropolis. So first, whether you are a first-time tourist or a native, enjoy the endless array of amazing attractions and activities that New York City provides. Choose sightseeing tours, visit landmarks and museums, experience Manhattan at night, go to a club, sample extraordinary culinary delights or take in a Broadway play. The various districts of New York have such an incredible concentration of must-sees, that you can do many of the main sites on foot. The Big Apple is all yours!
Then get away for a romantic break on Long Island; a picnic in a vineyard, drifting over seaside towns in a hot air balloon at sunset, or dining exquisitely on seafood overlooking Jones Beach on a star-filled night. The historic region of the Hudson Valley, located just north of New York City and extending south of Albany, has long been a destination for visitors from far and wide. On offer are mansion tours, museums, performing arts centres, numerous historic sites, and a host of other attractions. You may be even lured by the outdoor adventure available in the Catskills region all year round. Visitors can go skiing and rock-climbing, canoeing and rafting or hiking and horse-riding amidst the wooded hills and thundering rivers. The Capital-Saratoga region’s Dutch heritage and neighbourly feel goes back hundreds of years, as can be seen from Albany’s architecture and learned from its history. Modern attractions, restaurants and shopping blend with history in Victorian Saratoga Springs. A visit to the capital is a must. Since the Dutch first settled the area to gather furs for shipment to Europe, Albany continued to grow in size as it became the gateway to the Northeast Passage. The Industrial Revolution and the Erie Canal ensured Albany’s leading role in arts and culture, featuring countless festivals and events organised by its many ethnic communities.
In the Central-Leatherstocking region, step back in time and tour a 19th century village or be pampered at a historic spa in Sharon Springs. Visit a Native-American museum or delight in the geological wonders of its underground caverns; relax by a sparkling waterfall or picnic at a scenic park. Take a spin on an antique carousel or hit the links in Greater Binghamton. You can pay homage to sports legends at several halls of fame or enjoy opera in a tranquil setting at Otsego Lake. The adjacent Finger Lakes and Chautauqua regions welcome you to explore their wineries, gorges and outstanding recreational opportunities. Enjoy a fine blend of wines and culinary delights on the Canandaigua Winery Trail, discover the Amish culture, or find intellectual and spiritual growth and renewal at the Chautauqua Institution, a summer community promoting the arts, education, religion and recreation. The main attraction of Greater Niagara is undoubtedly the amazing cascade of the Niagara Falls, but you may decide to stop in the area to see some of its other sites: the architectural wonder that is the Our Lady of Victory Basilica and National Shrine, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, the Amherst Museum or the Broadway Market, for a spot of shopping in the old-world ethnic atmosphere of the largest indoor market in upstate New York. The rugged Adirondack Mountains, with vast tracts of wilderness, lie west of the Hudson River valley. The Adirondack National Park is, in fact, larger than any US National Park outside of Alaska. It is a fantastic area for all outdoor recreation, along with the Thousand Island region forming the northern and least densely populated section of the state.
