New York State

The Empire State's a gloriously mixed bag: exciting New York City, lovely Long Island beaches, historic Hudson Valley mansions, the Adirondacks and Catskills Mountains, Finger Lakes wine country, Niagara Falls, Saratoga Springs, Lake George, the Erie Canal, and plenty more.

NYC in ´Google's Top 10 Most Searched Photogenic Spots in the US in 2022´

Eileen Tan/Dreamstime.com Google recently released its list of its most popular searches during 2022, and when it comes to scenic spots in the United States there are some surprises. For starters, “scenic spots” in Google’s definition does not include iconic places like Vermont’s Technicolor White Mountains in fall or the yawning Grand Canyon in Arizona (and by the waym more about canyons later). Instead, Google users were primarily interested in where to see and photograph some of Mother…

Discovering wine and more in New York State's Finger Lakes region

Luke Petrinec/Steuban County CVB 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.

Spring and summer are prime music festival season, and after being largely suspended for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for the most part they've come roaring back in 2022. The United States being the huge country that it is, there are dozens of options for all musical tastes. Here's a sampling of the top ten, in order of dates (all given for this year, but will be similar in 2023): read post

Upstate Ithaca: a place of gorges, greenery, gardens - and goats

With a population of just over 32,000, in Upstate's Finger Lakes region on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, a 3½-hour drive from capital Albany and a bit over four hours from New York City, Ithaca is a prominent college town but also a a “gorges” city. I say that because it's surrounded by rocky gorges, many of them with waterfalls - more than 150 within a ten-mile radius. Within the city limits themselves, a one-third mile hike uphill – the Cascadilla Gorge Trail -- is exhilarating not…

I went to the New York Times Travel Show yesterday. It was in a different location than it was when I went two years ago, and it felt a little different, too. What did other people think?

EagleFest this weekend. FYI, the Eagle Institute doesn't guarantee in writing that you'll see eagles on E.I.'s tours, but I do. Big Bird loves the New York - Pennsylvania banks of the Upper Delaware River, and E.I.'s guides are (you should pardon the expression) eagle-eyed. http://www.eagleinstitute.org/

Wavelength indeed: You could have real mermaids.
David Paul Appell January 5, 2010 at 5:20pm

Re your forecast, Ed -- oy, what a card. And I hope in this case not a prescient one. Re Coney Island, I guess then the annual Mermaid Parade would take on a whole different wavelength, eh?
