From Wikitravel

Located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States of America, New York state [1] was one of the original 13 British colonies and is the third most populated state in the USA (After California and Texas). Often overshadowed by its eponymous megacity, the state has incredible historical sites throughout the north. Outside of its densely populated southeast corner, New York is largely agricultural. It is a major producer of dairy products (3rd in the nation after California and Wisconsin), is the nation's most prolific grower of cabbage, and has an expanding wine industry. New York is bordered by the states of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario.

[edit] Regions

Some people say that New York has two regions: New York City, and "Upstate" — i.e., everything else. In fact New York is a large state with a number of distinct regions.

• The Catskills
• Thousand Islands -- more than just salad dressing
• Long Island
• Finger Lakes -- pretty lakes, breathtaking gorges and fantastic wine tours.
• The Adirondacks — the first state-decreed parklands in the world and the largest in the United States are full of lakes and mountains
• The Hudson Valley
• The Mohawk Valley (Central New York)
• Western New York
• Southern Tier

[edit] Cities

• Albany — The state capital
• Buffalo
• Cooperstown — historic town and home of National Baseball Hall of Fame
