Top 10 Traveler Resources in New York, United States

November 4, 2021 Darwin Bolte

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

I have been on the tour of Springwood many times but not at the holidays. The tour was really interesting of birthplace of FDR and the home of his mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt. The house was supposed to be decorated for the holidays but only a Christmas tree in the library and the dining room set for dinner were the only holiday decorations in the house. The mansion will be going through a full renovation in April and then will be closed for a year so tour it now! The park ranger gave us an informative tour of the family, when the house was built and the additions added on, how the family grew here and the role the house played in the history of the United States especially in World War II. FDR continued to visit here after he became President and used it as his summer White House. Still it was his mother's home and Sara's influences are all over the house. Unlike other mansions, you could tell this was someone's home that was used at all times of the year. You can really see the family influences all over the house as if someone was still living here. It is a great tour and take time to visit the museum and walk through all the exhibits. It really does take two or three days to tour the house.

The Morgan Library & Museum

Just a short walk from Grand Central and Penn Station, the Morgan is a major exhibition venue for fine art, literature, and music, one of New York's great historic sites, and a wonderful place to dine, shop, and attend a concert or film.

Reviewed By XSki007 - New Jersey, United States

We are all very fortunate that J.P. Morgan created such an extensive art and rare book collection is such a fabulous home - and it has been preserved for all of us to enjoy it. The buildings are truly a work of art onto themselves. I recommend taking the free head set as you walk through the premises, wherein you will learn a great deal about the man and all of this art work.

United States Military Academy Visitors Center

The premier US military academy.

Reviewed By DERtravels - Upland, United States

We had a combined bus walking tour of the Academy’s grounds. Tours begin at the visitor center and you can either do a 1.5 hour tour or a 2 hour tour. On our tour we made stops at the Main Cadet Chapel, Trophy Point, the Battle Monument and the Parade Field. The cadet chapel holds 1,000 and was built in 1910. Amazing the books are all perfectly aligned. During the tour you hear the history, learn the honor code, the motto. You see the homes of the superintendents. You hear of typical disciplinary actions for various offenses. The guide leads you through the rivalry between the academies and their shenanigans at Millionaire view. Make sure to leave time before you leave to visit the museum and gift shop. Many options

There were pamphlets and information to take but the best part were the nice people working there. You could ask any questions and they knew the answer. It was also very clean.
