In the past, Upstater.com was a real estate hub geared toward New Yorkers who were looking for weekend homes or relocation upstate, mostly in the Hudson Valley. It was (and still is) a great resource for people–it’s short and often witty real estate listings got right to the point, and even ran a column called “Five Figure Fridays,” my personal favorite. This past summer, Upstater launched a lifestyle print magazine by the same name, highlighting the region’s real estate market, along with events and activities, ultimately offering readers a window into living, buying, and vacationing in upstate New York–at least the part that’s within 3 hours of New York City. Owned by Luminary Media, the same folks that put out Chronogram, the new magazine is widely distributed for free all over New York City and its five boroughs. In their most recent issue, Escape Brooklyn collaborated with Upstater to write a day trip guide to Cold Spring. See the excerpt below, then head over to Upstater.com for the full story.

Winter weekends can feel especially oppressive: The piles of snow lining the streets become encrusted with litter and who-knows-what, and the fresh, falling snow turns to dirty slush the moment it hits the ground. If you’re over it, don’t stress. There’s an escape plan for you.”
