Buffalo

Buffalo is a reminder there’s more to New York State than the Big Apple itself. Here, you can relax by the shores of Lake Erie, in Buffalo Harbor State Park, which offers views across the waters as well as its very own beach. In the mood for something cultural? Try Albright-Knox Art Gallery, which features works by giants like Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol.

The whole family will have a mind-expanding time at the Buffalo Museum of Science. And no visit would be complete without tucking into the delicious local snack known as the “beef on weck” sandwich.
