Visitors can board replica 19th century boats and glide along the canal, weather dependent. At Great Falls, visitors ride in a 30-foot launch-style leisure boat, a nod to the smaller passenger ships popular for leisure and business.

Joe Macken revealed to his daughter that he'd made significant progress on his miniature scale model of New York City, a robust project to which he'd devoted the previous two decades. The handmade model is now housed at the Museum of the City of New York in an ongoing exhibition entitled He Built This City: Joe Macken's Model, located in the Museum's Dinan Miller Gallery.

"This sculpture creates a friction with the surroundings here in New York. It's not sleek like everything else you can see here. It offers a hint to the public that temporality is not necessarily a straight line, that things can come back almost like in a wheel."

Records show the plant discharged an average of two to three million gallons of processed wastewater each year between 1962 and 2021, including treated radioactive effluents.

Three Falls State Park is centered around three waterfalls, including the 128-foot Frontenac Falls, which cascades down through a wooded gorge before meeting the lake.

"People are choosing Westchester - not just to visit, but to live, build families, and invest in their future. When we create housing opportunities and vibrant neighborhoods, people come - and they stay."

A new report found that museums and cultural centers founded and led by people of color in the Northeast face severe staffing shortages, with over a third of responding institutions lacking a single full-time employee.

Leading the pack is the Blackhead Range Traverse via Kaaterskill Falls in Haines Falls, with a near-perfect 94.14 score. The two-tiered waterfall, tucked into the eastern Catskill Mountains, has long been a favorite for painters and hikers. Now cyclists are getting in on the action. In fact, Kaaterskill routes appear four times in the top ten, as the dramatic cascade regularly stops riders in their tracks.

Construction remains paused for now and we continue to work with our contractors to plan how to deploy these funds in the most effective way and get workers back on the job to resume some construction as soon as possible,

Jersey City is diverse and has a cultural depth that the locals are only too happy to share. The city opposite New York City on the Hudson River has breathtaking views of the Big Apple's skyline and the Statue of Liberty is clearly visible. Despite New York having legal jurisdiction over the statue, her location is within the boundaries of Jersey City.

The British artist Andy Goldsworthy moved to Penpont, a village in southwest Scotland, in 1986, when he was thirty. The area's initial appeal was twofold. Property was cheap, which meant that Goldsworthy and his wife at the time, Judith Gregson, could acquire an unrenovated stone building that had likely once stored grain. This structure could serve as a workspace and, for a while, as a rough-and-ready home.

If you could have a trail that went through Warren County and connected with a trail that goes up to Tahawus, then you could connect that to the Albany trail, and you could go all the way from New York City on a multi purpose trail into the heart of the Adirondacks, which would be pretty cool.

The city has rebuilt large stretches of East River Park and raised portions of the shoreline to blunt storm surges and future sea-level rise. The elevated terrain now does double duty as public playground and flood barrier, with new courts, lawns and pathways taking over much of the old footprint.

Beginning in early March, Amtrak will restore all suspended and combined Empire Service trains between New York Penn Station and Albany-Rensselaer-months earlier than originally expected. The decision will bring back three daily round-trip trains that vanished last year and marks a rare commuter win in a stretch otherwise defined by tunnel repairs and transit headaches. So why did service disappear in the first place? Blame the East River Tunnel.

ALABAMA - THE HISTORIC S.S. UNITED States ocean liner, currently undergoing environmental remediation work in Mobile, Alabama ahead of its planned sinking and conversion to an artificial reef off of Florida's coast, was this week given a tentative April departure date from that port for its final destination, Fox 10 WALA reports . The new timeline has lit a fire under the New York Coalition to Save the S.S. United States, the preservation group battling to save the ship .

New York is the state with the highest percentage of homes without a car (excluding the District of Columbia), meaning many day trips are within reach of NYC by train. If you're seeking relaxation, explore one of the small, colorful villages of New York's Hudson River Valley. Perhaps you'd prefer to dine on Neapolitan-inspired pizza in a charming corner of Connecticut or stroll along the waterfront in one of New Jersey's coolest suburbs.

In 1916, subway construction near Greenwich and Dey Streets in Lower Manhattan unearthed a surprising relic. Some 20 feet underground, workers turned up charred timber; digging further, the contours of an ancient ship came into view-its prow, keel, and ribs. The wreck was later deemed to be the Tyger, a 17th-century vessel that represents a rare archaeological trace of early Dutch exploration in Manhattan.

RED HOOK - A SPECIAL EXHIBITION - "Brooklyn Marine Terminal: Past, Present, & What's Next for Red Hook?" - will hold its opening Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Compere Collective, 351 Van Brunt St. in Red Hook. The display, hosted by Resilient Red Hook in collaboration with Pratt Institute's School of Architecture, features student work that explores alternative visions for the BMT, bringing academic insight, community priorities and design innovation together.
