Exploring New York City &
the Mid-Atlantic Region

the two major cities of New york and Philadelphia naturally
dominate travel in the Mid-atlantic region. however, the
region’s other attractions include the exclusive summer
retreats of the hamptons, the collegian environs of
Princeton, and industrial Pittsburgh, today a vibrant cultural
center. equally attractive are its scenic wonders, ranging Montreal
from the broad beaches of New Jersey and the tranquil CANADA
beauty of Pennsylvania’s amish country to the wilderness of
New york State’s adirondacks. a car is essential to explore
the region’s vast interior. all roads tend to lead through Plattsburgh
both New york city and Philadelphia, especially the New Ogdensburg 87
Jersey turnpike (i-95), the main north–south artery. heading Taughannock Falls surrounded by trees in 11 VERMONT
west from the coast, the two main roads are i-80 across fall foliage, Taughannock Falls State Park Adirondack
Pennsylvania and i-90, the New york thruway. Many state Mountains
and country roads connect the rural areas, while the major Watertown s
cities have good amtrak and commuter train services. Rutland
