There are endless opportunities for exploration throughout the eleven regions of New York State, from scenic mountain drives through the awe-inspiring Adirondack Region, to visiting world-class vineyards in the Finger Lakes Region. With so many experiences on offer, the New York State tourism board has compiled a list of the 10 Things to Do in New York for 2010.
1. Best Village by the Sea – Montauk, Long Island. Famed for its unpretentiousness and unhurried simplicity and located only 125 miles from New York City, Montauk located in on the eastern most tip of Long Island, is where the Hamptons come to relax. Both hardworking city types and internationals with a sense of adventure flock to Montauk to explore the six seaside state parks and view historic Montauk Lighthouse constructed in 1796 by the order President George Washington.
Like its ritzy sister South Hampton, Montauk does receive its share of rich and famous visitors, but discretion rules the day here as does seafood and surfers. There are few luxury yachts docked in this thriving fishing village. Rather, visitors are more likely to find well dressed bohemian types in flip-flops, sporting vintage Land Rovers with surfboards on the roof, all set to a soundtrack of Bob Marley to the Rolling Stones.
