The Big Apple is awesome all year round, of course, but there´s something about the crispness of fall that makes it especially appealing, with clear, dry weather and temperatures still a balmy 18 degrees Celsius (65 Fahrenheit). In fact, some say it´s perhaps the most comfortable time of year to visit - and to enjoy the cool vibe and spectacular cityscapes from its rooftop bars, offering cocktails with a side of sky and unforgettable views.

It is famously called the melting pot of cultures, where communities from every corner of the world live side by side, creating a city that is as diverse as

As a member of the International Food, Wine, and Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA), I was fortunate to attend a webinar on the Corning and the Southern Finger Lakes presented by Kevin Costello, president and CEO of the Steuben County Conference and Visitors Bureau, and Dave DeGolye, the bureau’s communications manager.

My kinda town, New York City is - and unlike many other Manhattanites (ashemedly including myself, back in the day), I do not fetishize my home borough these days. Yet when it comes to the tourism and much else in the Big Apple, fuhgeddaboutit – Manhattan remains the proverbial “800-pound gorilla”, an attention hog with all the flashiest sights, dining, shows, and yadda yadda yadda.
