"Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today..." New York State has drawn visitors by the millions long before Frank Sinatra walked its streets. On one end sits New York City, the largest metropolis in the United States and one of the most famous cities on the planet. A world leader in finance, commerce, culture, and art, walking its streets beneath towering skyscrapers is truly magic. On the other lies Niagara Falls, the most famous waterfall in the United States and a tourist magnet for two centuries. Between those two appear many other worthy sites, from the history of the Hudson River Valley, to the wilderness of the Adirondacks, to the natural beauty and wine of the Finger Lakes.
