establishment has an indoor and outdoor swimming

Breakwaters, a fine dining restaurant, day spa and golf

Bella, has also opened.
Montauk Manor offers a fall special: guests can stay for four nights and pay for only two.
“The fall is the best time of year. The weather is still warm but with cooler nights,” says Janice
Nessel, general manager of Montauk Manor. “The sunsets are just magnificent and the surf casting
on the local beaches is great.”
Montauk Manor also offers relaxing spots.
“Our Lobby offers fireplaces, to relax with a book or just sit a sip a glass of wine,” says Ms. Nessel.

Dutchess County (www.dutchesstourism.com)

Dutchess County is located just north of New York City, along the Hudson River. New Yorkers
can take a car or train up to the county. The summer season has been strong, says Mary Kay
Vrba, director of Dutchess County Tourism. No doubt the region got a boost from the high profile
wedding of Chelsea Clinton, who married in the picturesque Rhinebeck, NY.
As the season changes, the Dutchess County Fair will take place at the end of August, but the
cooler season will bring a variety of seasonal delights. “I’m looking forward to the fall,” said Ms. Vrba.
Autumn is traditionally harvest season for the many wineries and farms in the region, and Vrba
says that it’s a great time to taste wine, cheese or a fresh apple. Ms. Vrba says visiting the pastoral

level—with rice, sumptuous dishes such as the temple of Zen, the curry supreme, and the popular sweet
and sour sensation. As the name signifies, the rest. offers calm, soothing food and friendly service in a
serene setting. Lunch and dinner prix fix menus are great deals and as a  grand opening bonus for one

take place in Philadelphia, and fortunately for New Yorkers, the City of Brotherly
Love is just a short car, train or bus ride away.
The rivalry is one of the most historic grudges in all of sports. It began 120 years
ago when the two teams battled at West Point in 1890. The game did not happen
for only a total of 10 years in the entire span. Philadelphia has long been the neutral
site that hosted the game (the Navy is based in Annapolis), beginning in 1899, and
a number of different stadiums have been used.
In addition to the action on the field, visitors can enjoy the historic and modern
features of Philadelphia. Independence Hall, Carpenters’ Hall, Christ Church and
the Second Bank of the United States “duck boats” from World War II and open-air
trolleys.
For a more contemporary experience, visit Rittenhouse Row, which has stores
from Ralph Lauren, Burberry and Tiffany (but don’t tell Fifth Avenue that!). There’s
also Jeweler’s Row, the country’s first diamond district and Antique Row, which
holds priceless items.
Philadelphia’s dining options are second only to New York. A variety of
ethnicities and styles are available. Many restaurants are also in historic buildings,
“Go Army!”
and some have sidewalk or waterfront views. Of course, don’t forget the signature

In addition to nature’s bounty, Dutchess has the world class arts center Dia
Beacon, as well as the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard
College. The American Symphony Orchestra currently has two dates scheduled at
the Fisher Center for October 22nd and 23rd.
This fall also marks the one year anniversary of Walkway Over the Huston, a
huge pedestrian walkway that spans the width of the river.
If the weather gets cold enough, the Thunder Ridge ski area in Patterson, New
York provides downhill skiing. There are also numerous cross-country skiing trails,
which double as hiking paths during warmer weather.

Few places have the charm and character that are abundant in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania. Tucked neatly within Philadelphia’s Countryside amidst rolling
hillsides, working farms and picturesque old-time towns, Bucks County is marked
by a particularly inviting countryside.  Be it a weekend getaway or a weeklong
excursion, Bucks County maintains its signature charm that enchants its visitors
and offers them a peaceful respite for residents escaping the hustle and bustle of
the big city.   VisitBucksCounty.com

F
all is a great time to learn something new, accomplish a goal and, especially
as the weather turns frigid, help out a neighbor. New York is built on the
idea that the regular citizen can make a difference, and these organizations
epitomize that ideal.
New York City Marathon: November 7
One of the largest sporting events in the world, the marathon attracts over
100,000 runners and $600,000 in prize money. World class athletes race
alongside amateur and casual runners. Although the standard application is now
closed, runners are guaranteed entry by running for charities. Even if you don’t
run, the day is filled with live entertainment and enthusiastic crowds throughout
the city. (www.ingnycmarathon.org)
Habitat for Humanity - New York City
The New York City branch of the humanitarian group was founded in 1984
and builds homes in all five boroughs. Recent projects include a 41-unit condo
building in Brownsville, Brooklyn, a green building that was LEED certified.
Over 10,000 volunteer for the great cause, helping with actual construction,
advocating and donating to the group. (http://www.habitatnyc.org)
New York Cares
New York Cares is one of the city’s leading volunteer organizations, which
work to match volunteers with nonprofits that have the most need. Over 370
volunteer organizations nationwide have adopted the same model, and over
48,000 people volunteer locally with the group. Campaigns include corporate
volunteering, disaster preparedness, youth service and holiday coat and gift
drives. (http://www.newyorkcares.org/)
Partnership for Parks
The group is a joint program of the City Parks Foundation and the city’s
Department of Parks & Recreation. It was founded in 1995 to help New Yorkers
beautify and help the city’s parks thrive. The group collaborates with citizens to
maintain parks, print park publications and secure grants to fund parks. (http://
www.partnershipsforparks.org)
Food Bank for New York City
The Bank has been working to end hunger in the city for the last 27 years. It
focuses on food distribution, financial empowerment and nutritional education,
helped by research. With 3.3 million New Yorkers struggling to get food, the Food
Bank’s mission is critical. Citizens can help by donating money, food, shopping
at online vendors that support the Bank, and volunteering to serve meals or staff
events. (www.foodbanknyc.org)
