you probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Bo Emanuel instablaster =)
@Jameson Dominik thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jameson Dominik It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Bo Emanuel No problem :)
As a upstater. I suggest Watkins Glen State Park. It's a must see for sure.
Yeap
It's very close to Ithaca and included in the finger Lakes region. I grew up between Letchworth State pk and Stony Brook State, Went to boarding school on Lake Cayuga. spent summers in Alexandria Bay and some time in the Adirondacks. There are so many beautiful places.
Soo mad it wasn't here.
I can't believe they recommended Albany over Glen State. I love my time there when I went to school at UB
Yes and I would recommend everyone stays away from Albany and Buffalo
Two of my favorite places growing up - trips to Watkins Glen or digging for "diamonds" at the Herkimer mines. NY state was a great place for rock collecting.
Why isn't Letchworth State Park getting any love? It's by far the best place I've ever been to in my life so far. Even after spending a week in a cabin in Letchworth and hiking 16 to 20 miles a day 7 days in a row, I swear, I never got bored of it. The visuals and scenery are just beyond stunning.
#1 state park in the country
The adirondacks is definitely a place to check out in any season.
As a New Yorker I recommend...
1. Lake George - in the Southeast Adirondacks, about 55 mi North of Albany. Clearest water on the East Coast. Book early (Jan-March). Very popular with NYers/NJ and family friendly.
2. Two particular things in the Castkills:
2A. North-South Lake Campground and the Escarpment. You can camp out here or go for the day, and hike up to one of the best views you've ever seen (not that hard either - only 1/2 mile walk).
2B. Kaaterskill Falls - Near North/South Lake. Probably the best waterfall in NYS besides the American/BV at Niagara. About 3/5 mile walk through the woods. Be careful parking on route 23A, as parking's limited and close to moving traffic. 23A is great to drive as it climbs its way up the plateau from I-87 through a clove.
Green lakes is cool too
Lake George is ice in water form its cold
@@mikenew2391 When I jump in at 7 in the morning in the Summer, it actually feels better b/c the lake is warmer than the air! 😂
@@mikenew2391 Meh i Live in Lake George it depends on when you come up here Right now the water is low 80's high 70's Yes it gets cold fast but thats the Best part of The Adirondacks we get get not only all 4 seasons to the extreme's We also get all 4 transitions into the seasons to perfection but we don't get any true natural disasters in 41 yrs i have seen 2 tornados, 2 real earth quakes ,and 0 hurricans , 0 insane fires ( like cali), Its honestly perfect up here if you can recognize the beauty and your not someone who takes true beauty for granted! Only thing Disaster like is some harsg winters but honestly its not all that Bad get a 4 wheel drive car or truck and your fine!
@@crustyfapkin4349 I've been there many times, as a new yorker, I definitely recommend.

Eat at the CIA in Hyde park best food outside of Nyc
You left out the most beautiful place! LAKE GEORGE!
How could you leave out Letchworth State Park???
Grew up in NY moved away and my family still lives in the Hudson Valley. I have to go home every year just to get rooted and to feel like me again. I took my kids every summer , there is so much to do, Everyday something new, hiking, kayaking,(my Husband not me) fresh produce it like living in another country Just laid back and beautiful. We are so moving back.
Hudson Valley!
The Hudson Valley is great
10. NYC 9. Adirondacks 8. Hamptons 7. Hudson Valley 6.1000 islands 5. finger lakes 4, Lake George 3. Catskills 2. Ethic 1. NIAGARA FALLS
Def not
Ahhh the Catskills ❤️ Hudson River Valley ❤️ especially Saugerties ❤️❤️❤️ home sweet home
I LOVE, love, lovity love New York State! 😊
I lived in Niagara Falls from 5th grade til I joined the Army after graduation. At one point we lived so close to the falls we could hear it. In old post cards with aerial views you could see the roof of our house.
Lake placid actually held the Olympic Games twice
Letchworth State Park is our favorite. We spent a night there on the way to Niagara Falls a couple years ago. It was do much nicer than Niagara Falls, we've been back three more times. It's especially beautiful in the fall.
What has happened to the falls over the years is an absolute disgrace. When I was a young girl, my parents would take me there and it was stunning, well kept, vibrant and full of hustle and bustle. Now it looks like a scene from the walking dead. I live a good 40 minutes from there and refuse to go. If I were to go to the falls, it would be the Canadian side.
As for Letchworth, it’s absolutely stunning. One of my favorite parks.
Another place you may want to try is Ellicotville, and Allegany State Park. Allegany State Park is about 30 minutes from Ellicotville.
Ellicotville, is a small town with, shops, restaurants,bars and nice B&B’s and if you’re into skiing, a great place to visit. It’s a bit pricey but gorgeous.
If you ever try Allegany State Park, you need to visit Thunder Rocks inside the park. The foliage in the fall is absolutely stunning. It offers, camping, small lakes, snowmobile & Hiking trails and so much more.
Buttermilk falls in ithaca is better, as u can actually swim in jt
White face mountain is a must. At the summit on a clear day you can see 4 states and Canada. It is also handicap accessible
I'm a country girl. The Catskills ❤️
Love this state!
amazing! Would love to got there once this pandemic is over.
I live in Ithaca. And I’ve been to all the places on this list. It’s mostly true! Ithaca especially is a wonderful place to be. There’s a magic to it that I haven’t get anywhere else I’ve been, except maybe Boulder CO
Finger lakes isn't western ny. And the bridge and falls you show at the opening of finger lakes- is actually Letchworth state park
You missed a few things.
Letchworth State Park
Allegany State Park and
Watkins Glen.
wow its wonderfull full of joy
Letchworth park!
Very nice video dear friend.
Thanks for sharing.
Your video is so interesting.
Full view and Big liked.
I wish you have a happy time...👍👍
I went to college in Albany, lots of love for that town, but it’s not exactly what I’d call a must visit destination 😅
Why not? It's the state's capital. The cities selected in the video do have diversity which is important. Saratoga Springs, NY is barely diverse at all. A nice place to visit but the demographics doesn't fit the video's narrative "something for everyone".
@@Beacon_NY I mean since I’ve been there the food was awful, downtown where the government buildings are isn’t very nice and u can’t really visit them and surrounding it is ghettos so don’t get lost, but if ur cool with all that then go for it!
@@hannahhudson8386 plus if you go there during active semesters, well. you'll have lots of drunk college kids around, which may not be for everyone.
thanks for sharing this information
I live in the Capital District. A few quick notes: they left out Saratoga Springs. Albany is ok, the Capital in incredible. If you wanted to visit Albany, I would just add Schenectady and Saratoga Springs for a great visit with a lot of history and plenty of things to do: Albany by itself is not that great. Ithaca is really cool, it's still a pretty small town. You have to include the hiking and glamping... there's not a ton of things to do in Ithaca, but it's great if you want to hike and see the waterfalls and gorges. We went to Niagara in the height of the Covid shutdown. We were 20 feet away from the falls which was amazing
Agree, Saratoga is wonderful.
If you want to get robbed go to Schenectady lmao 😂
I travel all those places already beautiful I love watkins glen falls
Don’t forget Saratoga Springs!
Saratoga?
dont forget your pocketbook!
Those are great backdrops!!
As someone who moved to Ithaca and lived there for the past 5 years, I screamed when it was number 2. Ithaca is truly an underrated gem of a city and Treman State Park is worth a mention
Also, the Buttermilk Falls are awesome, and the downtown variety of restaurants are to die for!
@@greywolf845 the cornell botanical gardens are also worth a visit along with Cascadilla gorge trail, ithaca falls, the wildflower preserve, and so much more. There are some hidden gems in Lansing as well. End your day with the sunset at Stewart Park
@@greywolf845 and the best farmer's market in the state
I agree I just moved to freeville which is not too far from Ithaca like a month ago Ithaca is one of the best places and the best sushi place on the commons
I have to disagree. I think Ithaca is overrated.
This video is super helpful since I live in New York and I am pretty much stuck here for the rest of the year. I will check some of these places out on long weekend trips.
Support American! Cannot go wrong
Watkins Glen, Lake George, Fort Niagara, Letchworth State Park should also be at the list.
It's sad that NYS has alot to offer and is a beautiful state, but is expensive. I live in the Hudson Valley where I grew up on a small farm. If NYS keeps getting more expensive, we might have no choice but to move to a less expensive state, though I don't want to. I also like cold weather than hot humid climate. I wish the politicians would hear our compaints and make NYS more affordable to live.
I am with you 100% , about 15 year ago , one of the hotel in newyork NY , cost around $ 500 per night , parking was $90 per day,I never came back since
You got it right
I grew up in State of New York and from a very tiny town in the finger lakes. Me and my husband are happy to move back to our home state of New York and we are moving back to Yates county. I miss going swimming in Keuka lake in Penn Yan NY.
I love this place ❤️👍🏻
We lived on the Thousand Islands. There is nothing more beautiful.
Love Thousands Islands !
Been trying to do things in new york since we can't go to other states. Thank you!!
Me toooo
Leaving out Saratoga Springs is ridiculous!....People from your top 10 locations come here!...Might want to research the springs, the oldest racetrack in America, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, National racing museum, National museum of dance, Summer home of the NYC ballet, and the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra, the surrender of Burgoyne to Gates in the Battle of Saratoga, etc...etc..........you blew this one!
It's a nice place indeed. But on an intellectual plane, it's more of a Hamptons in Upstate NY that draws a materialistic crowd concerned about fine wine and dine and of course gambling either horse racing or the casino. It's more about these things than the recreational outdoors.
@@Beacon_NY Respectfully, you forgot the museums and The Saratoga Performing Arts Center....with ballet, rock concerts, entertainment for kids, The Jazz festival, etc....not to mention skiing, history of the revolution, etc. We are also only 40 minutes from Vermont! ...Where was intellect mentioned in your post?
@@michaelnoviello6302 Given that surveying the outdoors can be a very intellectual activity as it is physical, Saratoga Springs is better known as a resort for those looking to satisfy their lower appetites. Don't want to offend anyone who is from Saratoga Springs. I think it is a beautiful place but its main draw are the fancy restaurants on Broadway, the race tracks and the casino. The video mentions Ithaca as the 2nd favorite destination in NY. A college town with a very highly educated populace and surrounding outdoor beauty isn't what Saratoga Springs is about. Yes, it's another form of elitism that separates the material elitism of the affluent. The chosen destinations are about the outdoors except Buffalo which I think the narrator wanted to highlight its underdog status to the glamour, opulence and hype of NYC.
@@Beacon_NY LOL.....your goal in posting something should be worded properly!.....Top 10 places!!!....Saratoga is beautiful, and I raised 5 kids there...its middle class to upper middle class, and community minded!.......Please tell us how highly educated and intellectualism comes into your title???....You obviously never heard of Skidmore college!.......BTW, I like Ithaca, but it is no top 10...LOL.
@@michaelnoviello6302 Hey, you became a reactionary fool by saying the video left out your hometown and I tried my best to give you a reason. Peace, my friend!
Heading over to Alexandria Bay and Boldt Castle on LDW thanx to this vid...If I can't go to Europe to see castles, this will have to suffice for now!
enjoy many areas and fishing areas in New York State and take advantage of their guides.
too awesome man
So many things do in Buffalo there a hiking trial see Eternal Flame, Botanical Garden, Buffalo stadium, Buffalo Naval Park, navy ships.
Love my state N.Y
The Adirondack mountains have some of the best/hardest hikes in the U.S. I wish I could live there just to hike. The issue with upstate NY is the lack of job opportunity.
Actually that's a great thing because it is an opportunity to create your own business!!
Less not forgt about the brutal winters with the ice and lake-effect snow!
There are jobs around the Capital District. It’s still an hour or so from the Adirondacks.
Exactly this - I would live up there now if I could.
the Gunks should be on this list for sure!
We have a added them all to our list! Thanks for sharing. Lynn and Danny
No Strong Museum (of Play)? Gotta get an honorable mention at least!
OMG THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD
I'm from the Finger Lakes Area. I live 5 minutes from Taughanock Falls in Trumansburg. The falls are about 30 feet higher than Niagara.
There are many other falls and trails to explore.
I’m from jersey, planning on going camping soon, is finger lake and the adirondacks places to camp?

Read thru the comments. There are so many awesome places worth visiting. It's hard to keep a list to just 10.
I love your voices💕
Shout out ithaca! Born and raised.
Penn yan NY should be on this list. Its a beautiful town!
Finger Lakes !!!
Don’t forget Utica! 👍
Wow
Lake Champlain you can take a ferry where you can take your car across to Burlington Vermont, Panama Rocks and Sunset Bay New York the best in Lake Erie
wow
I'm from newcomb..smack dab in the middle of the adaronacks
Hi, I would like to rent the cabin that shows in minute 5:50, any idea what cabins are those??
I’m a longtime resident of NYC and love to travel been to towns in NJ PA CT MA FL VI and ME just to name a few but never in my own state of NY my problem with so many beautiful town in NYS don’t know which one to visit
The Woodstock festival was held an hour away from the Village of Woodstock in Bethel, Sullivan County.
Really liked how you made a video of why you should travel to Upstate New York. Lived there for 10 years.
What is prah-juice?
lake george in the adirondacks. the queen of american lakes.
I loved living and working in the area! Great experience
Many places left out here…. Also Hudson valley isn’t hours north of nyc lol
I want to do the buffalo, Niagara Falls trip. Been thinking about it recently
I’m born and raised in Brooklyn and live to travel internationally often but things might have to change for the next 6months at least
Did you do it?
@@mchvz_ yes I did it! 😄I did it November of 2020. I drove my car from NYC up to Buffalo, NY and stayed for 4days it was great 👊
@@travel9two557 fantastic! I certainly hope to do so this year as well.
Can you do most beautiful places in connecticut?
I live there!
I would like to "pick your brain" on various upstate NY points. I'm planning on leaving Florida for upstate NY.
@@jimwhetstone9801 I don't live upstate, sorry
nice
What about Saratoga? Something for everyone and beautiful horses in summer. Lots of history including the battlefield.
As a city, it lacks diversity. It's also known as a gambling town which is bad for progressives.
Ny ❤️
Albany has to be one of the most boring cities in upstate ny, I live 30 mins from it trust me
Nah it's actually a great city it's also pretty old and it also has a lot of old history and I find it a great city I live in NYC but I still take a trip to Albany NY and visit the tall buildings.
I live in Albany and it’s not boring at all…
As someone who lives in buffalo, i was hoping it made it into the video 😭❤️
I live in Rochester and want to visit the finger lake region. Buffalo as well. I'd rather live there than here if It's more cool/young although bolth seem to get A bad rap.
I always wanted to go by the water in the catskils seems to calm me when in angry
I’m a witch I’ll cast a spell on you
💪💪💪
I live here so living in upstate New York is hard yeah
nyc new york state
van life vs RV life which one is better to travel America
Getting Along Alone has a great CZcams channel in my opinion that does things in the outdoors and camping.
Does anyone know the location in the finger lakes at 2:14?
Cooperstown & baseball hall of fame...?
As someone who lives in northern New York and has been to everything they’ve talked about it is a great state
Isn't the picture at 2:13 the Upper Falls on the Genesee River in Letchworth State Park? Not exactly the Finger Lakes. Other than that 1 nitpick, this is a great list!
1000 Islands should be #1
"Yes, that Woodstock", isn't that Woodstock. The festival happened in South Fallsburg, west of Woodstock. However, Woodstock is a beautiful artist community in the Catskills that should be on your list to visit.
It actually happened on the other side of Monticello, in Bethel, NY
@@krash66 Yes and no... the farm is technically in Cochecton, NY but yes it is closer to Bethal than S Fallsburg.
@@vincentspione you might want to check the map. It may be "town" of Cochecton, but NOT the village. You may want to technically call it Swan Lake, NY, but the Stage was in Bethel. I used to live 5 miles from it. Check Google maps.
@@krash66 You are correct but the mailing address is still Cochecton. The point I was trying to make for those unfamiliar with it was that the Village of Woodstock is not where the site was. We are close enough unless you want to go find it.
@@vincentspione no-it was in Bethel NY-I grew up there.
I live in Hudson valley and to sum it up it’s where all the rich kids live, not everyone there is rich since I’m not but most of NY’s wealthiest people live there or have like Martha Stewart, Calvin Klein, that one kid from stranger things Noah, and even the clintons
You forgot Watkins Glen and Binghamton. Binghamton is the carasell capital of the world with 6 carrasells . Watkins glen has beautiful glen with water falls and a motor speedway track
“....Millions of years ago.” I don’t think so.
As a NYC guy, even I didn't know most of these places until I found vids like these lmao
Wow been to all and nyc I live hour and half from finger lakes and 1000 island and adirondack mts
@@garyhenderson1717 Nice. Barely go outside of NYC lol
Ah yes, welcome traveler to the rest of NY!
@@greywolf845 Thanks :D
Letchworth State Park isn't too bad, either.
"world famous woodstock, yes THAT woodstock" wasn't actually where the original woodstock festival was. It was in Bethel NY, Also in the catskills.
I know Montauk is in Long Island, and was not part of this, but that place shouldve some recognition as well. As it's not as vibrant as NYC
Would love to see the location for Woodstock 69'
The concert location is actually in the town of Bethel...about 50 miles away from Woodstock. Woodstock is a quaint little town with a couple of restaurants, etc. The site at Bethel has a museum, which is real cool. Lots of music, pictures and videos. There are also concerts there all the time. The whole area is great for a short vacation.
i thought atleast somewhere long island will be shown
