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…

Join me Sunday for Chocolate World Expo at the Westchester County Center, steps from the White Plains MetroNorth station. It's autumn's largest gourmet food and wine fair, with local chocolate producers and shops and other desserts, wine producers from the Hudson Valley, Finger Lakes and Long Island, free tastings and demos, and more. Part of the more is yours truly. I'm excited to be doing two presentations -- at 2:30 on our region's bounty of fine food and wine, and at 3:30 to answer questions about where to travel for the holidays and next year, and how to save money when you do. And, I'll be signing my NYC and Hudson Valley travel guidebooks.

A crisis! The Chelsea Hotel, where every painter and poet and rock star you can think of has stayed and, y'know, played. But now it's up for sale. Please don't change it: http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/chelsea-hotel-new-yorks?xg_...

Now on the Tripatini blog: a tour of historic Woodlawn Cemetery in Queens, NYC -- which even some of the living are dying to visit (well, at least temporarily).

Duke Ellington, Joseph Pulitzer, and the Whitneys knew this all long: One of New York City's greatest architectural gems is a cemetery: http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/a-tour-of-new-yorks-woodlawn

David, see my suggestions on NYC thread. If glam rather than fun funky is okay, then include the Chatwal...
