Around NYC｜Finger Lakes & Corning Museum of Glass 🍁🔮

No class on Thursday = perfect time for a spontaneous trip! This time I joined a 2-day Niagara Falls tour. Day one included some warm-up spots around New York State. My butt definitely felt the long ride from NYC 😅… Day two highlights are in the next post! 📍 Corning Museum of Glass Caught a live glassblowing demo 🎭🔥 and wandered around — the glass art here is absolutely stunning! The town is named after Corning because the glass factory employs so many locals. If you’re interested, you can even book a glassmaking experience in their studio in advance! 📍 Watkins Glen State Park Located in the Finger Lakes region 🏞️, this park features unique sedimentary rock formations shaped by glaciers and streams. You’ll find plenty of cute waterfalls here — though they’re pretty modest compared to Niagara Falls 😉 📍 Finger Lakes Such a peaceful and retire-friendly area 🍇🍷. The Finger Lakes are made up of 14 long, narrow lakes running north to south — named for their finger-like shape. The region is also known for its vineyards and wine! #NYC #NYCLife #WeekendInNYC #NYCGetaway #CorningGlass #FingerLakes #NiagaraFalls
