Depending on where in upstate, 100% Montreal. Lived in Albany for 5 years and fell in love with the city - made weekend trips once a month. It’s the perfect time to go too! Other options include Vermont and Boston.

Flights to Miami are usually very cheap from NYC, otherwise couple good options upstate are adirondacks, lake placid, Catskills, finger lakes

Quebec, Montreal, Toronto

For a nature getaway: Cape Cod, Lake Placid, Vermont, Maine coast, AirBnB in the Catskills, Niagara Falls, Newport RI

For a city trip: Montreal, Toronto, Boston, NYC, DC

Flights: Miami (though wait until fall), Chicago
