In the winter months people are going skiing upstate, in the summer they go to various upstate locations. Realize though that anyone wanting to leave for the weekend to any spot west either has to cross the TZ or the GW.
What upstate locations?
People avoid the barren hellhole of upstate like the plague.
The entire ethos of 914 is to go SOUTH (lower 914 ritzy towns or NYC)

What a moronic statement. This thread has proven again that you have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
Many people are 'weekend' people in Sullivan county-I have neighbors who go back and forth all the time. Sullivan has all kinds of artsy designer people, editors, equestrian people, actors.
I have a farm in Sullivan county that I rent by the week in the summer to mostly people from Manhattan. It's in the sticks, but I have Debra Winger, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Rubens, Newell Turner, Yoko Ono (yipes) for neighbors (They've been here for years) and there are plenty more. You just can't find them, because driveways are long and houses are hidden.
The Beaverkill is the best fly fishing stream in the country, and the season starts in April. Roscoe has been dubbed 'Trout Town USA.'
Bethel Woods concert venue gets some of the most popular singers and musicians.
Should have left, you sound like you could use a good weekend in Sullivan county. I swear, the air is therapeutic.
I've had 2 movies shot on my place, and an NYU student is now doing a third.
When the new Adelaar resort is built with its casino they may have to build another bridge crossing the Hudson.
Where in each of these 4 counties are people possibly going? I don't know of a sole person in CT or LI or NYC or Westchester who owns property or sets foot in those 4 areas.
We have a house in New Paltz. We're not your problem though - we take the taconic to the Beacon Newburgh bridge. We go that way because traffic is a mess on Friday on 287.
First, Should have left, go up rt. 17 on a Thursday, take exit 94 in Roscoe, and head straight for the Vodka distillery on Main street (Stewart Avenue) You can taste and sample all the different vodkas, and choose one to take home.
Get your fly-rod and waders and walk across the street to the 'junction pool' where the Willowemoc and Beaverkill meet. keep casting until you feel like one of those guys in a sporting print from 1935. When you've had enough, head down the block to Raimondo's for some great Italian food, and for the extreme local flavor, head up 206 to The Courtyard (antler chandeliers, 100 kinds of beer) for a nightcap.
Now you can drive 5 minutes up the mountain to Buck Brook Acres, your sprawling farmhouse and private lake on 112 acres. After a game of pool, sink into your king size bed and listen to the crickets and the fish jumping.
Next day head to Bethel Woods to see Coldplay, James Taylor, and Elvis Costello. After the concert, you can look around the Woodstock museum (Bethel woods is on the site of the original concert field) Then go around the corner to the Dancing Cat, and test one or two of a thousand different beers.
As you head back to your farmhouse, stop in Jeffersonville and have an ice-cream soda at an old-fashioned soda parlor, Ted's Rexall-it's been there for at least 50 years.
Walk down Main street and browse around the antique stores, art galleries and farmers market, and before you arrive back at your farmhouse, stop at Lake's End on Tennanah lake for a country gourmet meal, and gaze over the lake from the deck. It's the Catskill Hamptons.
Back at the farm, take a turn in the rowboat on your private lake, and toss in a line for largemouth bass. Drive the John Deere gator up to the pasture to watch the deer and the sunset. Bring someone you're crazy about and relax in the gazebo.Wave to Yoko.
There are hundreds of things to do in the Catskills; these are just the things I've done for years.
Please leave already. Stop tormenting yourself. Either that, or drive up The Finger Lakes. Start at Watkins Glen Park. There is beauty you cannot imagine. Unless you think Florida strip malls are beautiful.
