Winter in New York can be one of the most fun times of the year, but after a while you might want to escape the busy city streets. Don't worry if you don't have the time or the money for an exotic tropical vacation; there are plenty of wonderful winter getaway spots within a few hours of the city. The options are endless and there's something for everyone - head to the Catskills for a weekend of skiing and ice skating, visit an upscale spa resort, or cozy up inside a luxurious country estate.
