I'd like to know some of the non-touristy things to do around the state of New York as I'll be vacationing there around April and May of next year and I know a good part of our (active) community is from or around New York. I've been browsing around online and the Tribeca Film Festival will be from April 17 to the 28th and NYC Bike Month is throughout the Month of May.
Are there any events held around that time or sights around the state perhaps? I'll be in the NYC, Albany & Buffalo regions and will be traveling within the state by train, though it wouldn't break my budget to take a Taxi somewhere. I have not set a date to go up yet but I intend to visit my sister at school and she'll be busy with finals after May 8th.
I want to make it memorable and not a typical tourist vacation (since I'm going more to meet with friends and colleagues than for sightseeing, but sightseeing is inevitable). Any remarkable places to eat dinner? I've been finding dinner venues with a great view but they all have a dress code - and I don't fully intend to pack my suitcase with any (semi-)formal attire.
I'm trying to get a general idea of what there is to see and do so I can plan my vacation and make sure everything works out so I can finalize the itinerary and book the proper arrangements.
