One of the many reasons why so many of us love living in New York is because nearly everywhere you turn you can find amazing small towns. The true hearts of the Empire State, these delightful destinations encourage us to travel and spend our free time taking road trips around our state. But with fall now arriving, you may be wondering what areas you should check out to enjoy our fall foliage and other seasonal activities.

Right along the Hudson River not far from our stunning Catskill Mountains is the beautiful destination that is Kingston.
