Upstate New York
in New York

An antiques shop before lunch, a sculpture garden after. The Hudson Valley makes escaping New York City rather enticing, with riverside towns, handsome country houses and farm shops worth taking the scenic route for.

Once the summer playground of New York’s city dwellers, the Catskills still know how to play host, only now the mountain hideaways come with natural wine, wood-fired pizza and a healthy dose of creative spirit.
