Why Go?
Where else could you visit an Amish family's farm, camp on a mountaintop, read the De-
claration of Independence and view New York, New York from the 86th floor of an art-
deco landmark - all in a few days? Even though it's the most densely populated part of the
US, it's full of places where jaded city dwellers escape to seek simple lives, where artists
retreat for inspiration, and where pretty houses line main streets in small towns set amid
stunning scenery.
Urban adventures in NYC, historic and lively Philadelphia and river-rich Pittsburgh are
a must. Miles and miles of glorious beaches are within reach, from glamorous Long Island
to the Jersey Shore - the latter ranges from stately to kitschy. The mountain wilderness of
the Adirondacks reaches skyward just a day's drive north of New York City, a journey that
perfectly encapsulates this region's heady character.
When to Go
