Everyone could use a little magic and relaxation in their lives right now. New York is full of spectacular castles that give you that get-away feel without going too far.

Castle Hotel & Spa

Only half an hour from Manhattan, Castle Hotel & Spa is located on one of the highest points in the region, with remarkable views of the historic Hudson River. Renovated and reimagined in 2013 by Evan Metropoulos and his family, the award-winning estate is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Historic Hotels of America. The grounds, including the ten acres of serene tranquil woods, offer the perfect combination of respite, style, and indulgence.

Boldt Castle

Located on Heart Island, this 120-room Rhineland-style castle was built at the turn-of-the 20th century. It is only accessible by tour boat, water taxi, or private water vehicle.

Lyndhurst 

In the Hudson Valley, this Gothic revival mansion is a National Historic Site sprawling across 67 acres of the Hudson River. The estate includes numerous lush gardens, a greenhouse, and a carriage house. When planning your next self-care pampering moment, or fanciful event, consider any of these locations.

They all offer the enchantment and splendor of medieval times, just a drive away.

New York’s tourism board recently reported that they are looking for volunteers to scout out the state’s most colorful and vivacious foliage.

After the long winter and summer months, and with the almost urgent need to safely escape the confines of pandemic imposed lockdown, New York State is offering foliage-infatuated residents a great opportunity: an official voluntary position as a I LOVE NY Leaf Peeper.

Only full time New York state and city dwellers can apply. Volunteers must commit to to tracking leafy areas from September to mid-November. The position also requires the submission of weekly detailed foliage reports that include location, percentage of leaves expected to change within the coming days, and vivid color descriptions.

Contributions made by Leaf Peepers are collated and included in  I LOVE NY Fall Foliage Report, the official state and city guides on the best autumn foliage spots. Leaf Peepers are also featured on the tourism board’s website and have their photos shared on related social media platforms.

Whether you are a die-hard New Yorker or “just” a New York enthusiast, you can now get your NY-fix when you are in the United Kingdom.

Manahatta, a New York-inspired cocktail bar is opening in York on November 8.

The venue, like its namesake, will have many unique Instagrammable features, from neon signs and peacock blue booths. Stacked burgers like the ‘Godfather,’ a stack of beef, fried chicken, pancetta, pulled pork and Monterey Jack Cheese, is sure to please. The Beyond Brooklyn is a veggie option, with pulled BBQ jack fruit, vegan cheese, and spicy chipotle. Prosecco, Aperol Spritz, Bloody Marys, beer, and unique NY cocktails are all available.

An in-house DJ will fill Manhatta with NY-style music, including tunes played by various ensembles in NYC subways.

A private dining room on the top mezzanine, and other areas available for private hire, provide more intimate spaces to enjoy a taste of New York when visiting York.
