I’m going over in October, Halloween – Yay – I’m 32, from Australia and have only ever seen 1 group of trick or treaters, but want to know the out of the way, must see, not included in guide books things to do, national parks to see and great bars and restaurants to go to that aren’t touristy. What are other states to visit in the area that would be worth a quick trip.
Also should I fly into DC and travel to NY or vice versa.
Thanks.

For New York- go to the typical tourist spots and chill at the more posh neighborhoods where you’ll meet great people.
For D.C.- Definitely go to the Historical Sites downtown, you can also chill at “The Mall”. You wont have any time for Museums though.

My friend may I recommend, the Bear Mountain State Park, located in Bear Mountain, NY. Bear Mountain State Park is a 5,067 acres (2,050.5 hectare) state park about 50 to 60 miles (80 to 100 km) from New York City, and the perfect place to camp out for the day.
The park is accessible by train from Grand Central. Take the Metro-North Hudson Line from GCT to the town of Manitou and then take a cab or bus from there train station to the park. If you opt to rent a car, you can get there by car via the New York State Thruway.
Since you’re coming in the fall, you will be able to see the best foliage in the region at Bear Mountain State Park.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck and enjoy you trip.
