New York Magazine

New York Magazine would definitely recommend taking a hiatus from New York life, especially from the fast lane of the big city. Occasionally, even the consummate Manhattanite must get out of the Big Apple, if only to realize what it means to be a city dweller and what it would mean to be a provincial dweller. So recharge your programmed self and travel up to Briarcliff Manor, New York where cozy restaurants, old-fashioned shops and Hudson River air will certainly give you a better vantage point on the true New Yorker. New York magazine may also propose that you visit the towns that envelop Briarcliff Manor, Ossining and Mt. Pleasant, towns whose rustic hometown environments will rejuvenate your smog-filled mind and body. You may even find yourself desiring to settle down and raise a family amid the great school districts and close-knit communities.
