Anthony Quintano via FlickrBlue skies, blue rivers, and sandwiched between them, the gorgeous red and gold foliage—fall is truly one of the most stunning times to visit New York. Beginning in August and going through to mid-November, a New York autumn is heralded by the transformation of the leaves and a certain crispness to the air. Almost immediately, citizens of the Hudson Valley in upstate New York set out to celebrate the season with their many fall traditions.

Humans of New York
“We met in Vienna. On a train. In the snow,” says a classy couple arm-in-arm under the city lights. “I’ve been out of rehab for three months,” explains a haggard-looking man sitting on a bench. “One day you’ll feel 18, look 60, and wonder what happened,” reports an aged man looking ahead tiredly.

Back to the Roots in Cooperstown
New York often brings to mind the big city. But much of the state considers itself, and very proudly so, to be “upstate” and vastly different from the Big Apple. Step into the past and experience the culture of the farmstead in Cooperstown, New York. Best known for housing the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown is known locally for celebrating another decidedly American tradition just outside its city limits: Harvest Festival at The Farmer’s Museum.

Exercise Expeditions: Your Excuse to Travel
Although most people try to plan workouts into a trip, some tourists plan trips around their workouts. These competitors learn that athletic excursions can expose new ways to exercise—and new ways to travel. Whether it’s a weekend stop to participate in a race or a two-month vacation to bike across countries, destination athletes are finding ways to make exercise their motivation to travel and travel their motivation to exercise.

Legal Nomad: An Interview with Jodi Ettenberg
In 2008, Jodi Ettenberg of Montreal, Canada, made the drastic decision to take a year off of working as a lawyer in New York City to travel the world—an adventure that has yet to end. Five years later, she is still traveling and documenting her stories on her popular travel website (legalnomads.com). Ettenberg’s experiences and writing have allowed her to rethink what happiness means to her and to pursue a career as a travel writer. She has even published a book, The Food Traveler’s Handbook, on how to eat safe, inexpensive, tasty food while traveling. Stowaway caught up with Ettenberg between locations in India and Bangkok.

Mastering the NYC Metro
New to the subway system in New York? Well, there’s no time to waste and no patience to spare in the Big Apple.

Try these steps to help you keep up the city-slicker pace.

Enjoying Ethnic Enclaves
There’s something about the crunch of leaves underfoot and the hints of an upcoming winter that makes people want to celebrate.

It turns out that, for all the cultural differences, deep down we all just want an excuse to eat, dance, and celebrate.

The Re-Invention of the Creative Escape
The Ace Hotel is not for your average traveler. You won’t find a lobby with floral décor or a stuffy concierge. You won’t find basic toiletry samples in the bathroom. You won’t find rooms that all look alike or restaurants with basic diner food. The Ace Hotel is “everything you need, and nothing you don’t,” as a hotel guest coined at the opening of the first hotel.
