This scenic NY spot was dubbed one of the most underrated travel destinations by US News & World Report
When planning a weekend getaway to break from the Gotham grind or taking one the best day trips from New York City, the ultimate goal is exploring a path less traveled. More often than not, a visit to a place not on the cover of a big travel magazine feels as though we've discovered a secret. This year, one of New York's most treasured spots ranked in the top 20 on U.S. News & World Report 's list of most underrated destinations in America: the Catskills. That's right, New York's much-loved mountain belt is considered a hidden gem for skiing, hiking and small-town Americana vibes. Quaint villages along the Hudson, like Bethel and namesake Catskill, offer painterly landscapes and community-minded activities, including the infinitely iconic Woodstock music festival. Since the 1960s, Catskills summer resorts have thrived among the rugged terrain, with tons of trendy vacation rental properties (think: woody A-frame cabins, midcentury motor lodges, even modern casinos) cropping up in recent years, giving roadtrippers countless lodging opportunities. Along with U.S. News' editorial input, the ranking publication factored in traveler reviews, expert opinions, crowd control, cultural experiences, dining scenes, and much more while hand-picking destinations to highlight. Consider it a bucket list for the wanderlust among us who'd rather traverse mountainous trails than stand in line at theme parks or stroll charming small towns in lieu of chaotic cities. More nearby locales of note include Block Island, RI, which secured fifth place for its Nantucket-like atmosphere sans crowds; as well as historic New England waterfronts of Portsmouth, NH (taking the seventh slot) and Gloucester, MA (number 19)—each only a scenic train ride away. South of Atlantic City, the sleepy Stone Harbor, NJ just made the cut at No. 23, surrounded by grassy dunes and marshes ideal for birdwatchers and flaneurs alike. Stealing the spotlight in first place on the list is St. Simons, Georgia, a dreamy barrier island beloved as a quiet escape. The largest Golden Isle may be a summer staple for Georgians, but quite often it's overlooked by out-of-state beachgoers in favor of famous Florida sands. Home to stately live oak forests, quaint shopping villages, colonial sites, and coastal golf courses, St. Simons offers a peaceful, laid-back respite for nearly every type of traveler — even amid high season.

See which local cities made U.S. News' top 250 places to live
Seventeen Florida cities, including The Villages and Clermont, placed among the best places to live in the U.S., according to the U.S. News & World Report's "2025-2026 Best Places to Live" ranking. The publication analyzed 859 cities in the U.S. based on five categories: quality of life, job market, value of living, net migration and desire to live in the area. They said they evaluated each category by using a methodology determined by Americans' preferences. "While quality of life remains the top priority for many Americans – and has the heaviest weight in determining the Best Places to Live rankings – U.S. News slightly adjusted its weights to increase priority for a location's job market amid heightened economic uncertainty," Erika Giovanetti, consumer lending analyst at U.S. News & World Report, said in a May 20 statement. You can read more about the methodology on U.S. News' website. Florida doesn't see a spot on the list until 59 — Parkland. According to the methodology, the South Florida city saw a score of 6.4 out of 10. The Villages was ranked at No. 177 and Clermont came in at 241. Here are all 17 Florida cities on the list: Parkland - 59 Palm Harbor - 68 Weston - 74 Jupiter - 124 Ormond Beach - 162 Pensacola - 166 The Villages - 177 Naples - 179 Riverview - 198 Bonita Spring - 203 Pinellas Park - 126 Kendall - 219 Apopka - 221 Doral - 227 Clermont - 241 North Port - 242 St. Petersburg - 246 Only about a state away from Florida, Georgia's Johns Creek is the U.S. News and World Report's top place to live in. "Just north of Atlanta, Johns Creek is the kind of place where tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community and a high quality of life come together to make it one of the nation's most desirable places to call home," the report says.
