State 14 is a digital magazine showcasing the makers, farmers, food and folk of today's Vermont. What is it with the Green Mountains and craft beer? Vermont, though relatively sparse in population, holds the distinction of having more craft breweries per capita than any other state. What’s truly amazing is that, of ...
One can only imagine what it would have been like to sit in the basement of Big Pink while Dylan and The Band recorded Basement Tapes sessions in 1967. (By the way, it was written just outside of Saugerties, NY in the Catskill Mountains.) Written that same year by Mr. Zimmerman, ‘I Shall Be Released’ was ...
In the village of Tivoli, NY, two rental properties sit sid-by-side on the outskirts of Main Street. Together, they’re Homestead 33: a barn and a house that share 4.5 acres of land, including forest, a pond, a creek, and multiple firepits. Separately, they’re the The Barn in Tivoli and the Modern-Bohemian Escape. And they're both wonderful. ...
Autumn in the Catskill region offers about as picturesque an escape from the city as possible. With cool, often frost-tinged nights, yet warm, sun dappled days, the weather is ideal for taking in the kaleidoscopic spectacle of changing leaves. As a photographer, I couldn’t resist the chance to capture some peak color ...
Antique shopping, cozy rooms, creekside bonfires, and eating like a king. This is the experience at The DeWitt Oak Hill, just 135 miles from New York City in the Great Northern Catskills. The four-room inn is loaded with antiques, collected by owners Dorothee Walliser and Diane Ormrod—and they're all for sale. (Well, almost all.) The constant flow of items ...

Long hailed as the "anti-Hamptons", the chichi-ness of the Hamptons is slowly creeping in—but nonetheless, the fishing town still maintains its rough, rustic charm. Affectionally known as "the end of the world," Montauk is home to ...
Morning over Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, NY. All photos by Erin Lindsey/Escape Brooklyn, except where noted. At six million acres large, the Adirondack Mountains are the largest protected natural area in the lower 48 states. The park is bigger than the Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier, and Grand Canyon National Park combined—and it's right ...
Show up, start a bonfire, crack open a beer. That’s the idea behind Tentrr, whose guiding principle is to make camping effortless. Launched in 2015, the service aims to take the hassle out of camping, allowing guests to simply show up, and kick back, in a premium canvas tent that's already set ...
Part Airbnb, part farm, and part music studio, the Outlier Inn in Woodridge, NY is one of the most inspiring weekend getaways New York has to offer. Whether it's the geodesic dome for a yoga retreat, or a tiny cabin to hunker down and write an album, each space is totally unique and designed to inspire ...
With equally picturesque water and shore landscapes, Block Island has been a favorite spot of mine since my initial sailing excursion there a few years back. Formed by glaciers that pushed their way down the East Coast ten thousand years ago, the rocky landscapes that make up its shoreline lie 15 miles from Montauk Point, and ...
