From the neon of Times Square to the crashing waters of Niagara Falls, New York is a state of sights, sensations and a lot of life. New York City is its crown jewel, a throbbing swarm of honking taxis, fast talkers and bright lights. Art lovers relish in the Met, the MOMA, uncountable galleries and Broadway. Fashion hounds devour America’s best shopping, kids marvel at the Museum of National History, and the culture hungry explore Chinatown, Little Italy, Little Korea, Spanish Harlem and more. Need to break? Pack a picnic and head to Central Park. Or better yet, see the other New York—the farms and wineries of Finger Lake, the untamed expanse of Adirondack Park, rural and wild Catskills, and breathtaking, clothes-soaking Niagara Falls.
