The Big Apple

Our visit to New York consisted of a 5 night stay in New York City and a 3 week stay in Kingston, which is 2 hours north of New York City.

Our time in New York City was amazing, it was the first time either of us had been. We did the usual tourist things along with multiple broadway musicals.

Upstate New York (Kingston) was also definitely worth the visit, we found many beautiful hikes and fun things to do in the Catskill Mountains.

New York City

Our trip to New York started with a 5 day stay in New York City. Since neither of us had been before, we spent our time doing the usual tourist things, such as the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Guggenheim, the Met, and our favorite of all, going to Broadway musicals.

Kingston, NY

The rest of our month long stay in New York was spent two hours north of New York City in a town called Kingston. We stayed here for it's proximity to the Catskills, a beautiful green mountain range with great scenic hiking trails.
