Often when
people think about New York they
think of New York City.
New York City is one of the most
iconic cities in the world. The
Statue of Liberty, the Empire
State Building, Central Park,
the Guggenheim Museum, Broadway
and 5th Avenue - no where else
has so many great attractions,
shops, hotels, bars and restaurants
around every corner.
However thereÕs another New York
beyond the ÔBig AppleÕ - itÕs
New York State - and it offers
an untold number of delights for
travellers worldwide. To the east
is Long Island, with its miles
of ocean beaches, the perfect
destination for people who like
to swim, sunbathe, surf or fish.
Just to the north, lies the Hudson
Valley, with its river-hugging
towns, rolling farmland, fabulous
antique shops, art and architectural
treasures.
In the Catskills, take a tour
of a local winery or tee-off on
one of the regionÕs four dozen
golf courses while in the Capital-Saratoga
region visit the nationÕs oldest
thoroughbred track.
The Adirondacks are home to Whiteface,
the Olympic Mountain, and the
Olympic village of Lake Placid,
a year-round resort.
The Thousand Islands-Seaway region
has great fishing, beautiful state
parks, waterside campsites and
the 454-mile-long scenic Seaway
Trail. Long, narrow, deep blue
lakes; unspoiled forests; cold
streams; thundering waterfalls;
and wide, fertile valleys make
up Finger Lakes, AmericaÕs second
largest wine producing region.
The spectacle of Niagara Falls,
one of the seven natural wonders
of the world is truly awe inspiring.
Rochester, located on the southern
shore of the Great Lake Ontario,
is just 90 minutes east of Niagara
Falls. The Spirit of Ontario,
an 800 passenger deluxe ferry
service, operates six daily crossings
connecting Toronto to Rochester.
