Summer in Central New York

Dear EscapeMakers — Central New York is a great place to spend a weekend or a few
days with the family, your significant other or a group of friends. Take the time out of your daily hustle and bustle to visit. Only a 4-hour drive from the city, there’s no excuse to miss out on all of the excitement that is offered in CNY!

Take some time to try something different. Experience a unique wine or brew tour by visiting some of CNY’s great beverage trails. Or consider checking out some of Brew Central’s most notable events, like the Third Annual New York Craft Brewers Festival, which will be held on Saturday, June 10. The Craft Brewers Festival brings together dozens of New York state’s best breweries from every region featuring 125+ hard-to-find and award-winning beers.

Not a craft beer connoisseur? Not a problem. The summer is a prime time to take advantage of the fresh food and locavore scene in Central New York. There are endless fresh fruits and veggies, unique brews and goodies, fantastic outdoor markets and food-focused festivals for you to explore.
