The Planet Ware website has a list of the best small towns in the state. Here's what some of them are.

The Planet Ware website says, "Woodstock has become a haven for music lovers. This cute town boasts just over 6,000 people and lies within the beautiful Catskill Park in Ulster County."

"Among its many attractions and unique things to do, you'll find tie-dye and music galore on Tinker Street, which is lined with unique shops selling everything from vintage postcards to hippie-wear to jewelry. It's easy to forget you're living in the 2020s while walking down this nostalgic strip," the website goes on to say.

4. Ithaca, NY.

"You never know what you'll discover with all the things to do in Ithaca. It could be something fleeting, like a rainbow in the mist of one of the many Ithaca waterfalls, or something powerful, like insight from an acclaimed speaker on campus at Cornell University. Whatever you choose, your visit will be memorable," the town's website says.

Their website goes on to say, "From waterfalls to wine tours, outdoor recreation to luxury spa getaways, farm-to-table restaurants or museum-hopping, there is so much to do and see in Ithaca."

3. Greenport, NY. This small town has a population of around 2,000 people.

Their website says, "Located on the northern fork of Long Island, Greenport proves that you don’t have to go very far to get away."
