What are the best things to do in New York?

I’ve lived in New York City my entire life, but I’ve never ventured out to explore the rest of the state except for Long Island. Now that I have a car, I figure it’s the perfect time to adventure. What are some of the best things to do in New York?

Heading into upstate
New York
is like a different planet if you’ve never ventured outside of NYC. But with your newfound sense of adventure comes the opportunity for one-of-a-kind experiences that only the Empire State can provide. Here are some of the best things to do in New York:
  • Watch the sunrise over Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh or one of the towns located along the lake.
  • Visit the breathtaking Niagara Falls and stop in the city of the same name for a kitschy experience.
  • Take a picture of the stunning Taughannock Falls, located just northwest of Ithaca near the Finger Lakes.
  • See the Gilded Age mansions or tour the state capitol building in Albany.
  • Treat yourself at one of the many spas and mineral springs located in the town of Saratoga Springs.
