The Ultimate Upstate NY Guide : Second Edition
One of my favorite trips every year - no matter the season. My updated Strict List of what to do, where to shop, where to eat, and most importantly where to stay!! This is your sign to plan a getaway.
One of my truly most savored places. Nothing beats escaping the city for a cozy weekend your people, being out in wide open spaces, unwinding, getting inspired seeing new things…
Promise me this, even if you don’t plan a whole weekend trip…do a day trip to Blooming Hill Farm (1hr from the city). You won’t regret it. Grab a farm to table lunch and stock up on your groceries for the week at the farm stand (the milk changed my life)…trust!
I always try to book an upstate trip in the Fall every year, but recently went this Spring and was equally as obsessed. The foliage is incredible, but so is the lush green. There is much to do & art to see & sun to bask in & lots of strictly curated shops to explore…

And of course trying some new. Playing cards, drinking some wine…
Phoenicia Diner is another must stop if you’re driving. OG diner in the mountains. Pancakes, hashes, perfection. But here are all my favorite spots in each town & a google map guide to save:
