Peekskill, NY is a small and charming city on in the Hudson River Valley, just 50 miles north of NYC. Over the past couple years, more and more daytrippers are making the short trek to Peekskill, thanks to its beautiful waterfront, easy access to trails, and cute, walkable town. ...
When most people think about Cooperstown, NY they think of baseball. And while, yes, it's home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum–it's so much more than that! (Especially for those of us who are kinda 'meh' on sports.) Just about four hours from NYC, this little town offers everything ...
