We don’t know about you, but the end of summer c

We don’t know about you, but the end of summer can bring some pretty mixed feelings... Truth be told, we’re sunshine people.

Thankfully, September is always incredible Upstate. It’s the perfect capstone. It gives pretty equal parts summer days, to be spent at the swimming hole and dinners outdoors — along with some cooler ones, perfect for hiking and drinks by a fire. 🔥 (Plus, it’s usually sunny.)

You might say that with this range of weather & outdoor activities, September is the Best Month All Year.

Wherever you land on the September spectrum, we got you, and for all weather conditions too. In today's newsletter, we’re sharing nine Upstate hotels and Airbnbs that were kind enough to share exclusive promos with our paid ($6/mo or $60/annual) readers for the month of September — arguably the Best Month All Year. ✨

If you’re not part of the list, join up at the link in bio! Newsletter goes out at noon. (And if you ever miss a newsletter, access the entire archive on the web — same link.) 📝

120 miles from NYC, the town of Roscoe has earned

120 miles from NYC, the town of Roscoe has earned its place on the map for attracting anglers from around the globe. 🎣

The town, affectionately dubbed Trout Town USA, is renowned for its plentitude of streams, lakes and reservoirs — abundant with trout — that wind their way through its sprawling forests.

Beyond its fishy fame, however, Roscoe reels in throngs of visitors for more than what its pristine waters promise.

At the link in bio, plan a trip using the Escape Brooklyn Guide to Roscoe, NY — where you’ll find our favorite hikes, shops, restaurants, and lodging — plus an alpaca farm with tours that’ll give you the warm fuzzies for years to come.
