Bethel, NY
Your parents try to prove that they were "cool" by saying they spent their younger years at a psychedelic festival called Woodstock. Well, now you can go see for yourself how cool your parents claim to be by taking a trip out to Bethel, New York. This farm town in the Catskill Mountains was the destination spot of hundreds of thousands of flower-child types back in the '70s. Beautifully preserved by the
Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, venture out to the land of the hippies to check out concerts, learn about the festival's history at an interactive museum, drink local spirits at the
Catskill Distilling Company and rummage through nature at
Lake Superior State Park. Only two hours outside of the city, check out where your parents used to hang!
