Think of the $6 monthly fee (or $60 annually) as buying coffee for a friend who hooks you up with sweet deals and intel on all things Upstate. We are a female-led, small (seriously, tiny) business and 1% goes to combatting climate change.
Without further ado, here’s what’s on our radar.
Book These Trips Immediately:
Guided hike to a secret waterfall with @UpstateHiking, shot by Escape Brooklyn.
Hotel Kinsley came up with this genius package with Escape Brooklyn readers in mind, then had us out to try it.
Introducing the Weeknight Adventurer package, wherein hotel guests enjoy some outdoorsy perks, like complimentary passes to Mohonk Preserve or select NY State Parks or complimentary two hour kayaking or SUP rental for two people from A Day Away Kayak.
We highly recommend the $125 upgrade for a two-person guided hike with @upstatehiking, shown above. Check out our fun IG Reels recap!
Oh, and did we mention the complimentary bottle of wine, hand-picked by Kingston Wine Co? This one’s a no brainer.
Spend Labor Day weekend on the Delaware River in Narrowsburg, NY. Photo: Escape Brooklyn.
Attention all last minute planners (not New Yorkers, last minute planning…😉): Blue Hill House has Labor Day weekend available (word on the street is they just lowered their rate for the holiday weekend, too.)
100 miles from NYC in Narrowsburg, this colorful home sleeps up to 12 guests. Your weekend itinerary includes floating down the Delaware River on a canoe or tube if it’s hot, or hiking nearby Tusten Mountain if it’s not.
Or heck, do both in the same weekend, Upstate weather is crazy.

Start your autumnal day trip planning with our guide to Harriman State Park – New York’s second largest state park – just 35 miles from NYC.
We recently teamed up with Explore Harriman to create a guide for all things outdoors in Harriman State Park, from hiking and biking and rock climbing to outdoor photography and survival workshops.
