Are These The 21 Best Reasons To Live In Upstate New York?

For better or worse, love it or hate it. New York is a beautiful state. Here are some reasons some of us stay.

NYUP just yesterday posted a video on their facebook page that intrigued me. I wondered, are these really the 21 best things about New York State?

In fairness, some of these aren't too relevant to us here in the Capital Region but are some iconic things about the Empire State. Here is the list!

Fall Foliage
State Parks
Halfmoon Cookies
All Four Seasons
1,000 Islands
Apple Picking
Wegmans (COME TO ALBANY!)
Beef on Weck
Niagra Falls
Ithaca Gorges
Chicken Riggies
NYS Fair
Lake George
Finger Lakes Wine
Salt Potatoes
Stewarts
Lake Placid
Craft Beer
Garbage Plates
Adirondacks
Winter Activities

I want to add one more that should have made the list. Saratoga Race Course! Its historic and iconic to the Capital Region. What do you think? Do you agree with the list from NYUP?
