Hello friends,

There's more to New York state than the bright lights, skyscrapers and yellow cabs of New York city. From the sandy beaches of long island to the mists of Niagara falls, the areas outside the city make New York one of the most inviting states for leisure travel. It is also the great gay destinations on the planet. Thanks for sharing it....
