My top 5 getaways of 2012!

*High Line Park in New York City is a wonderful and way to escape from the hustle and bustle. Several blocks long, this elevated railroad bed from years ago is now a green space and park for pedestrians.

*Haunts 2012 took viewers to The Naples Hotel in Ontario County. Many say 'ghosts' are regular guests here and stories abound from witnesses!

*Elderberry Ponds Restaurant was a favorite in the Finger Lakes near Auburn, N.Y. Organic farm veggies and seasonal foods make this a great find out in the country. Opening again in Mid-march.

*Ausable Chasm is a geological wonder, complete with an exciting raft ride, in the Adirondacks near Lake Champlain. A favorite 2012 getaway for families looking for adventure on their summer vacation!

*The favorite getaway of the year was the Mountain Coaster at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, N.Y. A coaster in the middle of winter?! Yes! Open year round!
