About New York

No state in America can compare to New York. The heart of the state is New York City. There are also other parts of the state that are also referred to as the 'Empire State' (the rest of the state is often referred to as the 'upstate' by residents of New York City, which is also nicknamed the Big Apple). The city seems tiny compared to this beautiful and vast countryside with its small towns, mountains and wonders like Niagara Falls. When you visit New York, you might catch a flurry of taxis on Fifth Avenue in the morning, visit idyllic wineries in the Hudson River Valley, and hit the sand in the Hamptons for lunch. A trip to New York offers you a long list of destinations to visit. These may include Times Square, Broadway theatres, the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and skating on the Olympic ice in Lake Placid. Prepare a plan for yourself by reading this New York travel guide.

When to Go to New York

The best time to visit New York is late spring and autumn. As the mountains come to life in spring, blooming plants offer a beautiful view. Classic New York autumn brings mosaic leaves in red, orange and crimson colors to the streets. New York City can be very hot in the summer, but it is an ideal time for mountain climbing, camping and canoeing in the upstate regions of the Catskills, Adirondacks or Finger Lakes.
