Greetings From Lake Placid, New York

If you’re looking to have a gold medal-worthy summer trip in the Adirondacks, Lake Placid is your next destination. There are plenty of hikes with amazing views of the High Peaks, great restaurants with friendly faces, and a beautiful lake for paddling and swimming. This mountain town quickly became a favorite of mine over the past few years, and I have plenty of recommendations to share for your next trip to Lake Placid. Read on for some of my favorite trails, restaurants, bars, and shops for a fun summer weekend in Lake Placid, New York.

5 Weekend Road Trips Under 5 Hours From NYC

My favorite trip is a road trip, but I have my limit on how much time I can spend in a car without losing my mind. Living right near New York City, I’m familiar with how frustrating traffic can get, especially when you’re trying to get out of town. (Hopefully, gas prices will start going down before I have to start driving this summer.) Luckily, there are so many great spots within a five-hour drive radius that make the headache of stop-and-starts so worth it. Here are five trips within a day’s drive from New York City that I would recommend bumping up on your list this summer.

Greetings from Jersey City, NJ

I am still a Jersey Girl through and through, calling Downtown Jersey City home for the last few years. With summer fast approaching, I wanted to share some things to do as well as my favorites for those looking to explore the area for the first time, or Jersey City locals looking to try something different. From cute restaurants to long walks along the waterfront to live music to cold pints, a lot goes on when the weather gets warmer. Here’s my guide to an ideal summer weekend in Jersey City, New Jersey.
