NYC + the Catskills
The perfect week: 4 nights in New York City and 3 nights in the Catskills. This mountain range in Upstate New York is quickly becoming the top choice for a city escape. As a year-round destination,
think morning hikes and long days by the lake during summer vs days on the slopes and cosying by the fire in winter.
NEW YORK CITY
