Escape your cramped apartment and catch some fall foliage soon at one of these getaway spots
Leaf peeping season is beginning to peek into view in northern Maine, and the fall leaves will be ablaze upstate before you know it. Central Park and Prospect Park are plenty pretty, but you may want to rent a car and go outside the five boroughs for truly spectacular views before it's all over.
Here are three houses and a hotel where you can stay to do just that. And while you're out there, we suggest looking up some apple picking options to make it a real fall celebration.
