Even visiting New York can take a toll. It’s full of wonderful sights and sounds, but they can be overwhelming. A weekend getaway to a new location is the best way to combat that.
The most famous location sits within the city itself. The Hamptons is an upscale but calm area with relaxing beaches and plenty of opportunities for retail therapy. New York State has more to offer than NYC. Shelter Island, Lake Placid, and the Hudson Valley are a few options for weekend getaways.
New York’s neighbor New Jersey is also a great place to look for weekend getaways. You could relax on the beaches and enjoy the history of Cape May. Asbury Park’s active boardwalk is underrated. You can also get a weekend getaway in states that are a bit further away. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rivals New York in its popularity and history. Take a weekend to visit its historic sites such as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, but don’t miss lesser-known attractions such as the Reading Terminal Market.
Massachusets has The Berkshires. It’s full of culture and a great choice for lovers of the performing arts. You can also hike or enjoy sports for a different kind of rush. Go to Newport, Rhode Island if you want an upscale getaway to rival The Hamptons. It’s full of cottages that use to house rich families.
Take a plane if you want to get as far away from the city as possible. YOu can get to the beautiful, calming island of Bermuda after only a two-hour flight.

Adventures: Three Days in The Cumberland Gap Region & Kentucky
Traveling is best with good friends. So, with social distancing in mind Mary, and I set out on a long weekend to Cumberland Gap National Historic Park, which sits at the meeting point of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.
With caves to explore, miles of trails, and loads of breathtaking views, there is no shortage of things to do in the area. The area's rich history is on full display, with the National Park Service's largest historic restoration project to date; restoring the Cumberland Gap pass to its original condition our ancestors would have encountered in the late 1700s.
Pine Mountain State Resort Park is close by, perched on a mountain overlooking the town of Pineville Kentucky. Outstanding views, great hiking opportunities, and unique natural features make it a destination unto itself.
We ventured back North a bit to Central Eastern Kentucky to the Red River Gorge Geological Area and Natural Bridge State Resort Park. The adventurous can hike to the top of the ridge,. We decided on the chairlift and took in the amazing views along the way.
While in the Red River Gorge Geological Area, we took a quick drive down a dusty backroad to the Rock Bridge, and Creation falls. The falls sit only a few hundred feet upstream from the rock bridge. The pair make a great place to visit, well worth the hike.
Special Thanks to Mary P. who provided a few photos which I used in this video.

America's Largest Buffet! Eating at an Extravagantly Humble Amish Buffet at Shady Maple Smorgasbord

A big thank you to Ridge.com for sponsoring this video! After hearing and seeing about America's largest buffet, the Shady Maple located in Pennsylvania, I had to visit since it's relatively quick trip from New York. A few hours drive along be beautiful landscapes and countryside and we have arrived.
I turns out, the Shady Maple is not only America's largest buffet, but it's an Amish buffet as well. An incredible offering of classic comfort favourites. From crispy fried chicken, melt in your mouth briskets, to that luxurious fork tender roast beef...and if that wasn't enough, how about a Philly Cheese Steak with a side of Seafood Chowder.
A fantastic experience with great food and great people there! Oh, did I mention the desserts? Pie, cakes, ice cream.. you'll be rolling out of there!

Video of Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, NY from Ethan K.
Ethan K.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Great shelters, better trails!
This is a great place for camping. The shelters are great for people who want to camp and not have to worry about unplanned weather. The best part of this campsite are the endless trails in the area (see screenshot of AllTrails). Would definitely recommend for those who want to camp near NYC but not drive too far.

Ward Pound Ridge Reservation - Lewisboro, NY
July 15th, 2018
This is a maintenance hike I did this past Sunday, totalling 7.6 miles (10.2 initially). Real-feel temperatures were in the mid-90s leading to an increase in the amount of water I was drinking. Not having my water filter with me, I decided on cutting the loop a little short.
I usually don't film while I'm here because I try to keep a high-3mph pace (hard to film and talk going that fast) but decided this was a good time to introduce you all to one of the best places for easy/moderate hiking in Westchester County. There is huffing and puffing but I tried to keep my normal pace so it was inevitable. In a given year, I put in around 300-325 miles in the park.
It features over 800' of elevation at it highest point, 30+ miles of trails, it has ridges, rivers, fishing, plenty of camping options (for a fee)...just talking about it makes me want to go right now!
There is a $10 parking fee for non-park pass holders and $5 with the pass. Additional information on the park can be found at:
Enjoy and safe travels everyone!

I'll be in the Adirondacks 7/27-30 so keep an eye out for that one!
