New York

AFTER THE HONEYMOON – If you’ve done Niagara Falls, turn north to Fort Niagara State Park with its wide-open views of Lake Ontario and a 280-year-old “castle.” Or, if you’re feeling slightly adventurous (and you’re carrying a passport), hop across the Canadian border to Niagara-on-the-Lake, an extremely pretty Victorian town.

OUT OF DOORS – In that most citified of all cities, New York, head for one of the world’s great public green spaces, Central Park (did you know it’s twice as large as Monaco?). Walk or sail toy boats on the reservoir, watch artists paint, go rock climbing, or look for its many species of birds, including hawks. Remember, a coyote even showed up there a few years ago. Along its edges you’ll fi nd countless vendors, artists, and booksellers.

IN THE SPRING – While Saratoga Springs is best known today for its famous horseracing track, its name comes from the many mineral springs which still dot the area today. Several are accessible to the public, and visitors routinely fill bottles with the naturallycarbonated water that has been considered to have health-giving properties for centuries.
