. To enjoy most of these attractions you need a car. Transportation within the city is spotty at best and once you get outside city limits things get dramatically worst. Leasing a Hyundai is a cost effective way to enjoy car ownership and take advantage of all that the greater New York area has to offer.
When the city starts heating up for summer you and your friends or family are going to want to go for a swim. Why not pile into a Hyundai car and hit the beach? You can blast the AC on your way there so you don't overheat while sitting in traffic. Then you can get to the beach, pop the spacious trunk and unpack your blanket and cooler. Since Hyundai cars are so fuel efficient you won't need to stop for gas along the way.
If the beach is not your thing remember that upstate New York also offers many freshwater lakes. Some are only an hour or two outside of the city. They offer picnic areas, swimming, hiking, and other outdoorsy activities you do not often get to enjoy as an urban dweller. How often do you get to experience the great outdoors? When you lease a Hyundai you can get in touch with nature more often than those without cars.
The towns that dot the countryside each have a unique personality and unique attractions. Many historic and rustic towns are spread around the state. If you like art make sure to go to Beacon, home of the Dia Beacon Art Museum. It houses many works that are too massive in scale to fit into urban art museums. It also has a series of beautiful gardens and outdoor sculptures. It is a great outing and is a stone's throw from the city.
Fans of antiquing are also sure to enjoy the areas of Greater New York. Antique hunters are finding rare and valuable items every day. You could be one of them! Many of these towns hold garage and estate sales weekly during the spring and summer. Maybe you can nab a Tiffany lamp or a Hudson River School painting? You will have no trouble fitting them in your car.
If you don't have much cash you can always drive upstate and make your own painting. Just throw some supplies in your leased Hyundai Sonata and hit the road. Find a nice look out spot and get to work, the landscapes are sure to inspire you.
