If Manhattan has been your only New York stop, you’ll delight in the Catskills – a world apart from NYC. From waterfall hikes to kayaking, canoeing and paddling vast waterways, to scenic drives over covered bridges, this is the New York few know about. Explore small towns, art festivals, farm-to-fork restaurants and farmers markets. See locations that inspired artists and authors, such as Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle, where story, art and place intertwine.
