PROMINENT NYC INFLUENCERS TRAVELED TO THE

CATSKILLS FOR A SUMMER WEEKEND GETAWAY
The trip entailed a combination of adventure, wellness, and rest as the elite bunch toured
throughout the historic, trendy region together.

CATSKILL, N.Y., (July 5, 2023) - A group of New York City influencers including Bridget
Bahl, Christine Ferguson, Rayna Greenberg, and Helena Hodne traveled two hours north of the
city last weekend for a girls’ weekend getaway in the Catskill Mountains.

The four-day trip was sponsored by the tourism organization, Visit the Catskills, as a part of their
“Discover the Catskills” campaign. Aside from the normal Catskills hiking and spa services, the
group also partook in an outdoor country music festival, an annual craft beer event, and the grand
opening of a 70s-inspired boutique hotel, The Velvet Belvidere. With a region that has adventure
around literally every corner, the group’s itinerary was jam-packed.

Bridget Bahl, a well-known beauty and lifestyle influencer said “The Catskills is a hidden gem. I
can’t believe a place like this is only two hours from the city. You can find rejuvenation and rest
in the mountainous outdoors yet also adventure and fun at the trendy restaurants and festivals.
It’s the perfect place for a weekend getaway.”

The Catskill Mountains welcome tourists from all over the world as it offers endless outdoor
activities year-round. Most commonly known for hosting the famous Woodstock Music Festival
in 1969 as well as being the filming location for the Dirty Dancing film in 1987, The Catskills
have made its mark on the entertainment industry. Nowadays from hosting countless music,
food, and beverage festivals to becoming a hot spot for New Yorkers’ recharge weekend
getaways, The Catskills offers something for everyone at every pace.
