11 Awesome New York Waterfalls to Visit That Aren’t Niagara Falls

Out of all of the natural formations out there in the world, one of our favorites is waterfalls. These beautiful walls of water can take on various shapes and forms and are awe-inspiring every time we see them.

As far as New York waterfalls are concerned, they’re among some of the very best in the country- and many are just as inspiring (if not more) than the iconic Niagara Falls!

Since we are frequent travelers in upstate New York, we wanted to share a few of our favorites today (although the below are certainly not a collection of them all- there are a ton of waterfalls in NY worth checking out!). So if you find yourself on a New York road trip between Rochester and Syracuse, or are perhaps checking out wineries in the Finger Lakes, be sure to detour to these great falls!

New York City is the kind of place where you can get anything you want, and on a quick weekend trip to the city, we had our heart set on cocktails.

We’ll be the first to admit that we’d need an entire year in New York, going out seemingly every night, to even get a nice cross-section of them all. So in this visit, we really wanted to be strategic in targeting some of the very best cocktail bars in New York City.

We went to five, and we have to admit, these blew us away all for very different reasons!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City (aptly called The Met for short) is one of the world’s best museums.

Featuring art and artifacts from the earliest days of human history through to modern times, sourced from all over the world, to say this one has a little bit of everything may be a bit of an understatement. Naturally, it means the museum is huge and, if we’re being honest, impossibly hard to see everything on a single visit.

As such, you really need to have a plan for visiting this museum so as to ensure you are getting most out of your ticket price. In this one, we thought it’d be fun to look at different ways to plan a visit to the museum in lieu of sharing great exhibits outright because, again, there are just too many!

There are many Puerto Rican beaches to choose from during a visit to the island. But those who are looking for the very best should head over to territory’s smaller island of Vieques as they are home to some of the region’s best!

We’ll be the first to admit that some of the Vieques Beaches are had to come by.

But don’t worry, we checked them all out during our five-day visit, and after our exploration of the island we have come to the conclusion that these nine are the very best that cannot be missed.

So jump in your 4-wheel drive Jeep and hit these awesome beaches during your visit to Vieques. You won’t regret it!
