Walkway Over the Hudson + Poughkeepsie
Great food, fantastic views, wonderful company.
Hollywood was Lame, But Pig’s Feet Saved It
If hiking Griffith Park was my favorite part of visiting LA, going around the other touristy spots in Hollywood was my least favorite, which is probably why it’s taken me so long to get to this. I think it was because it reminded me so much of the crushing crowds of Times Square, minus the exciting billboards.

It’s Spring in New York, and I am Harboring the Soul of a Ditzy Blonde Somewhere in Here

Mohonk Mountain House Hike
This is a real, climbing-over-rocks, sweat-pouring-out-of-you kind of hike. Especially if you do the labyrinth section, which is an entire section of combined rock-scrambling and spelunking.
Minnewaska State Park Preserve
This place is gorgeous, and is perfect for both avid hikers or people just looking to hang out by the lake. There’s a parking lot that’s right near a picnic area, a food truck, and a lovely view of the lake. It has miles and miles of trails for you to enjoy.
