What better way to get out of the “big city” than to take the short jaunt to the Finger Lakes? With 11 pristine lakes nestled between breathtaking bucolic hillsides, waterfront hotels, world-class wineries and breweries at every turn, and dining options that range from fine to farm-to-table low-key, there’s plenty to love about the region. Recreational activities include year-round hiking and biking, and seasonal boating and skiing.
