One of the oldest states in the Union, New York is a picture of contrasts, from the bustling metropolis of New York City to the quiet solitude of the Adirondacks. In Christiane Bird's updated and revised Moon Handbooks New York State, travelers are given everything they need to plan a trip through this diverse landscape. Included in the book are tips on going to New York City's jazz clubs, theatres, and festivals; visiting the Great River Estates of the Hudson Valley; touring the Finger Lake Wineries; and hiking and canoeing in the Adirondacks. Fun and off beat destinations include hunting for treasures in the Chelsea flea market or visiting Harriet Tubman's home in Auburn. Winner of the New York Public Library award for outstanding reference book, Moon Handbooks New York State is the most informative guide on touring the state.
