I've belonged to this super ski club for more than two decades, and my Vermont weekends have been…read morethe highlight of each year, through law school, through tough litigation (yes, I did pass the bar!), and through Coronavirus. Because I had a big investment in my Southampton place, I did not do the volunteer summer weekends. But now, after a year selling that property (owned it for more than four decades) and of getting wonderfully settled in to New York City (which I love!), I want to do some summer weekends of painting or scrubbing or doing whatever helps the club lodge stay as great as it is, now that the dining room accoustics have been fixed. Only problem: With sale of Southampton, also donated my car. So, please call or email me to share costs and driving on a next summer weekend, so we can do some work on our lodge.

I was at a loss when I realized I was going to point Pleasant to find a nice hotel. Jersey shore…read morehotels are not the best and there are no chains. I reached out to an old friend who recommended the White Sands hotel. I didn't realize how large it is. My husband and I are staying in the main building and my daughter and family are across the street near the pools and ocean which is fine because they have small children. I have a king room which is fairly large with a nice little patio. It's called the parking lot view, but I can actually see the beach from here and on a clear day, the ocean as well. There's a restaurant on site as well as an indoor pool and hot tub. There is also a bourbon bar that opened which I haven't tried. The room is very clean and looks like it's been recently renovated. Since we are at the shore, it is a blessing not to have a carpet in the room trapping sand. The housekeeping staff does a really nice job. The bathroom is small just has a toilet and a small shower with the sink in the main area just outside the bathroom. That works for us. The only thing I would recommend is an additional nightstand. There's only one nightstand, although there are space for one on each side of the bed. I am using a crate to charge my things. There's a small microwave and a nice small refrigerator. We are one block from the beach. We have wristbands that open the doors to the room and also allow us pool and beach access. The beach is a little on the small side, but it is private with a lifeguard. Point pleasant is a nice little town with a lot of rental homes in the vicinity of the hotel. It's a quick walk to the boardwalk and the amusements it far enough away where it's quiet. It's only the weather would cooperate. You have to book these rooms by February and there's no telling what the weather is gonna be like so we've had some rain and clouds. We're thinking we'll be back next year. So far, a wonderful stay.

I have been looking to spend some time at the Club Lodge in Vermont since I first heard about it…read more Finally got the opportunity this past weekend and came up as a guest. The Lodge is rustic with basic sleeping accommodations and common areas that are part of a true mountain adventure. Nice fireplace, great room for dining and mixing it up with other guests and members. Plenty of comfortable seating around the fireplace and a nook for reading or relaxing. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. I was treated to a group dining experience that I was not expecting by other gusts who welcomed me with open arms. What is not to like. The members and regular guests are a great source of information and provided lots of inside information about the town and surrounding mountains. Did I mention that the lodge is close to Sugarbush Resort, and Mad River? it is also close to several other key destinations in Northern Vermont. Hiking, Downhill and Cross Country skiing, and year round outdoors activities abound. Overall a great experience and better than staying at the premium priced hotels in the area. Can't wait to get back.

Hitting the slopes! without actually hitting the slopes…read more Big Snow American Dream is such a cool, unique spot. Definitely one of the most fun things you can do year-round in New Jersey! It's wild walking into the American Dream mall and suddenly stepping into a real indoor snow park with actual snow, lifts, and multiple slopes. Perfect for scratching that ski/snowboard itch when it's 90 degrees outside or just getting some practice in during the off-season. The snow felt legit (cold and grippy), the terrain park features were fun and progressive for all levels, and the staff was helpful with rentals and getting everyone set up. We did a couple of hours and it was plenty of time to get solid runs in, work on technique, and hit some jumps and rails without the usual outdoor crowds or icy conditions. Great for beginners and families. There is also snow tubing which was really fun! If you wanna practice skiing or snowboarding but are still a bit iffy on going on an actual mountain, this can be a great option for you to get started.

I went here during the long weekend in January with a few friends for the first time not expecting…read moremuch. It was my first time skiing or snowboarding but I was fortunate to have a friend with me that can teach me how to snowboard. I think at base price the day pass only provides 2 hours on the slopes which is not a lot of time, I don't think I would pay full price out of pocket. There was a Groupon offer at the time that significantly reduced the price of my visit and at the price point I would encourage going. While there isn't anyone there to actively teach you how to ski or snowboard, the fake snow is quite soft making it a good place to learn. However the slopes aren't too steep and it's hard to gain speed so if you are someone experienced not sure if I would recommend this visit. Staff is incredibly nice at helping you fit into your snowboard or ski or grab rentals with the all inclusive day pass. The lines can get long so I would say in a 2 hour period we were able to get on the lift about 7-8 times. But I had a fine time during my visit here. I think it's a great place to start your ski and snowboard journey, fall at ton but safely on soft snow to break the initial fear of trying something new. However would probably not come again.

My friend and I attended the Long Island Wine Tour on Sunday, June 07, 2026. In my booking confirmation, there was a digital waiver that needed to be signed prior to the trip, a lunch form to select a gourmet deli sandwich, list of items to bring, what's included, and the trip itinerary. The lunch options were Turkey, Avocado, & Swiss, Grilled Veggie Sandwich (vegetarian), gluten free: salad (w/ or w/o chicken), or if you prefer to bring your own lunch. I chose the Turkey, Avocado, & Swiss sandwich. On the day of, I went to the pickup location: 41 Union Square W, New York, NY 15 minutes prior to the departure time of 9:00am. Soon after, our tour guide named Joe, told us that the bus was waiting for us around the block since it was too big for the street. The bus had comfy seats, outlets to charge your phone, and a bathroom at the back. After everyone got checked in, Joe introduced herself, gave us a run down of the itinerary, and put on Mrs. Doubtfire while we headed out east. Before we arrived at each winery, Joe told us a little bit about it and what to expect and how long we had at the winery. Lenz Winery was the first winery stop and we were given our sandwich and chips here. The Turkey, Avocado, & Swiss sandwich was a bit dry, but it was something to fill our stomachs. Raphael Winery was the second winery stop. Osprey's Dominion was the third and last winery stop. At each of the wineries, we had several tastings and a bottle of water. My favorite was Raphael Winery. The winery was designed by John Petrocelli who was inspired by the Italian monasteries of his ancestral home and its absolutely beautiful. My friend and I also ordered some food here and it was delicious. A guest in our group even sang in Italian because he was so inspired by the beautiful atmosphere. On the Long Island Wine Tour, we visited 3 award-winning Long Island Wineries on the North Fork region to taste some of the finest vintages in the New York area, had a picnic lunch (a sandwich, chips & bottle of water), received bottle discounts at select vineyards, and round trip transportation from NYC. All the guests in our group were friendly, respectful, and responsible throughout the duration of the trip. Joe kept us on time throughout the trip, but it felt like she was our babysitter and didn't really need to be there. Drop-off was by where they picked us up. Even though I live in Long Island, the Long Island Wine Tour with Sourced Adventures was really fun and it was really nice to enjoy all the wine without worrying about driving. Thank you Sourced Adventures.

We booked our private 30-person ski trip to Windham through Jason at NYMT and I can honestly say I…read moredon't think I'll ever look anywhere else when planning a group day trip out of NYC. As coordinator and tour guide, Jason was quick, courteous, and knowledgeable. His connections at various local ski resorts combined with his relationship with the bus company brought our prices down to less than what I would have paid had I booked it separately. But it was his services that I found to be absolutely essential to the efficiency of the operation, which included the booking of the bus & driver, ordering & distributing tickets, escorting our group through the rental process, and helping beginners get to their lessons. Without him, our day trip would have been way more stressful on me and nowhere near as fun for the group. So, do your homework, gather your prices, call the group booking desk at Hunter or Windham, and contact local buses for hire... But then do yourself a favor and call New York Mountain Tours. You'll save money, headaches, and time, and your group will think you're the hero!

You have a great driver, Kevin, who is very knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and most of all patient to put up with all our drunken shenanigans during this past weekend's Yelp Beer Bus event. The bus itself is clean, comfortable, and has both a tv and dock for playing your Ipod's. It's a great way to get around and taste a lot of beer without having to worry about getting a DWI ! Kevin knows all the routes to some of the best local breweries, and is a big craft beer guy himself. They do many beer tasting events on LI and around the local NY area and have packages available for group trips, or shorter shuttles to the local brew tastings. Check out the website for upcoming beer events and rates. To me, it's totally worth the cost to enjoy a worry free, and safe day, rather than drinking and driving. We hit up Great South Bay, Long Ireland, and Port Jeff Brewing Company. That last stop in Port Jeff on a terrific spring day was just perfect to try some beers and then wander around the town for a bite to eat before heading back to the train station to drop us off. Kevin has a great little biz here that I wholeheartedly endorse. Also, between stops it pretty much became a beer fueled dance party bus with some moves going on that would put some strippers to shame! Yay beer!
