MEETING AND TRAVELING IN THE NORTHEAST
AFRICAN-AMERICAN GUIDE TO MEETING & TRAVELING IN THE NORTHEAST
Sonya Stinson
A visit to the Northeast is bound to bring back memories — even if you’ve never been there before — for so much of the region’s landscape, architectural landmarks and historical monuments figured largely in the lessons we learned in school.
This is the land of Independence Hall, the Lincoln Memorial and the Statue of Liberty. Here you’ll find the rivers and bridges that slaves crossed to freedom in Canada and the battlefields on which the Revolutionary War was fought. This is the place where those geography-book pictures of dazzling fall foliage and the rugged Atlantic coast come to life.
Besides all this picture-worthy history and geography, the Northeast offers a wealth of cultural and entertainment experiences, from world-class museums and restaurants to a host of popular music, art and craft festivals.
And when it comes to the business of meeting, this region also has you covered, offering a selection of venues that includes major convention centers and hotel facilities, small conference centers and even casino and ski resorts.
What follows is a closer look at some select destinations, once of which just might be the ideal setting for your group’s next gathering.
