As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
Seasonally speaking, I’m not sure there is anything more beautiful than Fall in the Northeast. New York is just starting to turn it’s leaves, but on a quick overnight trip to the lake house in the Poconos this weekend – Adam and I got to really surround ourselves with foliage. And it just never loses it’s magic for me. Since it was already pretty chilly in the mountains, I layered up – starting with this plaid poncho.

Last weekend Adam and I thought outside the typical dinner and a movie date night box. We were still at the lake house in the Pocono Mountains of PA (big on lakeside relaxation, short on trendy hotspots) and Adam took me to explore this old building he had spotted earlier in the weekend. It turned out to be Hawley Silk Mill, a total local treasure.

I grew up a few hours from the Poconos Mountains and had always gone in winter to ski, but had never visited during the Summer until meeting Adam. His family has a cabin on Lake Wallenpaupack there and we are lucky enough to spend plenty of Summer weekends there now. For those in the New York area, it’s just a 2+ hour drive (car or bus are the easiest ways to get there) and a blissful escape from the city.
