FLX Must-Do For 1st-Timers
Sightseeing
A Must-See! Do you know the Schuyler Sisters? Watkins Glen State Park locates right in the historical Schuyler county. It is considered a "flagship" park by the State of New York. Enjoy a quick hike down the narrow gorge featuring 19 waterfalls over a span of less than two miles in summer. During the off-season, walking along the dog-friendly southern and northern trails gives you a different perspective of the unique geology and rich history of the area.

Probably the most "remote" Ivy League school of all, but with so much culture and identity. Walking around the campus is almost a hiking trip of its own.

Dog friendly, easy out-and-back trail with a signature waterfall at the southern end. Many locals hang around the water bed or at the beach in summer. Great family fun.

Local coffee shop - note that there are barely any major coffee chains around. A great cup of coffee is worth the 15-minute drive. Quick bites and sandwiches are made fresh daily.

Believe it or not, of all Plato's Closets I've been to (PA, NJ, FL, GA, AL), this is THE BEST so far. Great selection, trendy items, great brands, excellent condition, all with a friendly price tag. Might be reflective of the student demographics here. Very impressive.
