The Mid-Atlantic region comprises New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. What surprises many people is that New York City, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City are only an hour or so apart. Although New York City tends to overshadow the rest of New York state, the state has particularly beautiful areas—the Catskills, Adirondack Mountains, Lake Placid, and the Finger Lakes. Albany, in upstate New York, beckons city dwellers for weekend getaways, and post-industrial Buffalo is now artsy.
The long stretch of beaches along the Jersey shore in New York has been a vacation and resort area since 1900. With the restoration of Atlantic City as an east coast gambling and entertainment center, crowds flock to the area for more than just a swim and leisurely stroll down the beach. Known for its historical significance and attractions, Philadelphia also offers visitors world-class museums, performing-arts centers, and a thriving nightlife. Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic where you can gamble, visit one of the greatest cities in the world, and see the Liberty Bell all in one vacation.
