START PLANNING YOUR AMTRAK GETAWAY – AGAIN!

Get outside this winter and hike the Empire State Trail. Take Amtrak to one of these six different stations—from the Hudson Valley to Syracuse to Rochester— and be immersed in nature in just minutes. Plan the whole day including the delicious meal you’ll warm up with after your outdoor adventure. 

The Beekman Arms, America's oldest continuously operated hotel,

is located in the center of the Village of Rhinebeck 

in the historic Hudson Valley.

Pleasantly old-fashioned, yet unobtrusively modern, we offer our guests charming accommodations in several different buildings, all with private bath, wifi, television, telephone, and a decanter of sherry.

For the second year in a row, the Lake George Ice Castles astound visitors with awe-inspiring ice slides, crawl tunnels, alcoves, mazes, ice thrones and more. This icy attraction is open six days a week from January 27 to 

February 20. New this year: the Polar Pub Ice Bar with winter-themed cocktails. We’ll toast to that!

Looking for a little incentive to head into New York City this winter? 

How about the opportunity to eat at some of the Big Apple’s best restaurants 

at a fraction of the normal price? The 31st annual New York City Restaurant Week kicks off on Tuesday, January 17, and runs through 

Sunday, February 12. Almost 500 restaurants—old favorites, trendy newcomers, every cuisine imaginable— will offer two-course prix fixe 

lunch for $30 or a three-course dinner for $45 on weekdays.
