With
the spotlight on New York City, home to theaters, museums
and fine dining, the remainder of New York is often treated
like a poor country cousin. But from the rugged woodlands
of the Adirondacks and the haute hideaways of the Hamptons
to the up-and-coming vintages of the Hudson Valley Wine
Country, the Empire State offers adventures for all types
of travelers.
