New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Visitors to this year-round training and competition site can watch daring ski-divers, or take an elevator to a platform to see how high Olympic skiers jump.
We spent a little over an hour at the Olympic Ski Jump Complex. We took the gondola ride to the top of the mountain, which takes only a few minutes. From there you transition to a glass elevator ride to the top of the largest ski jump which provides scenic views of the surrounding mountains. The ski jumps are so much higher than they appear on television and show just how daring (or crazy) ski jumpers are. New respect for ski jumpers! The venue is clean, masks are required and there is a little shop for souvenirs.

Mt. Van Hoevenberg combines outdoor recreations with Lake Placid’s Olympic Legacy. On the sliding center side, we have a state-of-the-art combined skeleton & bobsled track and we have created North America’s longest mountain coaster, The Cliffside Coaster. On the Nordic center side, we have added 4km of World Championship rate trails, joining our existing 50km of cross country skiing trails. Our new lodge, The Mountain Pass Lodge, is the Hub of Mt. Van Hoevenberg, and is the place to go for a drink, hang out with friends, or just spending a full day enjoying all the activities Mt. Van Hoevenberg has to offer.
Drove 7hrs after work with my 2 girls just to ride this coaster!!!! Purchased our tickets online 2 weeks in advance and prayed the weather would cooperate. Tickets are pricey! ($55pp) BUT....here are the bonus points.... 1. Longest mountain coaster in the country! 2. Speakers in sleds give you the history of the bobsled run next to it! 3. You CANNOT crash into the sled in front of you due to high tech sensors! 4. Once you descend, you ARE an olympic bobsled driver! 5. The views are absolutely breathtaking! We went for lunch afterward and back to motel for a power nap before driving 7hrs back home. What a fun Day of the Dead treat! Great for any age!

Yankee Stadium, “The Cathedral Of Baseball” and the home of the New York Yankees, the most successful sports franchise in history. My wife and I have attended multiple New York Yankee games in the past and we’ve always enjoyed our game experience at the Yankee Stadium!!! Both my wife and I were swept by the beauty and design of the stadium’s ballpark, admired the stadium’s homage to the previous Yankees stadiums of the past, enjoyed visiting the New York Yankees Museum, and loved the hundreds of photographs that capture the history of the Yankees and showcase their players of today. Hopefully in the near future, when the days of COVID 19 are long behind us, fans will get to visit Yankees stadium and watch New York Yankees baseball. The Yankee Stadium is undoubtedly the best ballpark ever made!!!

I've always preferred attending minor league baseball games because you can get so close to the action and these guys are on the verge of playing in the big time.

Key Bank....(in the past - HSBC Arena) is a great place for Ice Hockey. Loved the atmosphere. I believe there are only 2 other arenas that are better - Pepsi Center and Gila River Arena. Fans were great but Buffalo choked as usual and lost 2-3 to the San Jose Sharks.

A Night with the Piano Man - Billy Joel - although he's 70 and it's his 112th time in Madison Square Garden (The Garden) - he still delivers a great and magically performance with an 2 hours of musical treats from his amazing singing career. A totally and absolutely fantastic experience, sometimes dreams do come true. The Garden is a magnificent concert stage with perfect sound, video screens and lighting. Great seats. The food service and selection is great and you are meet with service minded personal from outside the stadium to the seating inside. #billyjoel #billyjoelmsg #live #madisonsquaregarden #thegarden #nyc #manhattan #magic #dreamscometrue

What a fantastic and unique experience! My pilot Todd answered all of my many questions and made sure I felt safe and comfortable throughout the ride, and the view was unbelievable!

This 9,000-seat ballpark, owned by the Village of Cooperstown itself and located near the Baseball Hall of Fame, commemorates the reputed "birthplace of baseball."
The Abner Doubleday Field complex has an interesting early history and the stadium you see today saw it's 1st game in May of 1939. Just sitting in the covered backstop of the empty stadium you can envision all the players and fans from the different era's that graced this field. This place reminds you that baseball is a relatively simple game in the purest of terms and it's a shame how money and other documented things have stained the game a little.It is funny to think of the buildings that were sold to make extra room for the property, yet the houses right past the left field 296' marker that must get hit quite often. The property's behind the 360' right center wall as well as the 312' right field pole must also be under constant bombbardment. The last time we were in town in 1999, our family really enjoyed watching a game here. Baseball is truely "America's Pastime".

Visited the Brooklyn Cyclone’s baseball park at Coney Island. It was an amazing park considering that the baseball team is a minor league baseball club. Being a Minor League Baseball fan, I’ve travelled around the States visiting minor league baseball clubs and I can say this is one of the best short season ballparks I’ve ever seen. I was disappointed that there were no games scheduled during my visit, but that’s baseball. This park speaks volumes for the people of Brooklyn who support their team and who want baseball in Brooklyn.
