The Great Canadian Caper: How Far North You Gotta Go?
So, you've got a hankering for poutine, eh? Maybe the bright lights of Toronto are calling your name, or perhaps you just want to experience the thrill of saying "about three fiddy" in a completely serious context. Whatever the reason, you're wondering: just how far away is Canada from New York City?
Well, buckle up, because the answer depends on what kind of adventure you're looking for.
As the Eagle Flies (or the Goose, As the Case May Be)
If you're a majestic bird with a passport (hey, it's a crazy world!), the shortest distance between New York City and the vast expanse of Canada is about 340 miles (550 kilometers). That's a straight shot, no pesky border crossings or traffic jams to slow you down.
Taking the Scenic Route (Because Who Wants to Get There Fast, Anyway?)
If you're more of a "wind in your hair, feel the open road" kind of traveler, then you're looking at a road trip of around 760 miles (1,220 kilometers). This route will take you through some gorgeous parts of upstate New York and southern Ontario, with plenty of opportunities to stop for maple syrup tastings and quirky roadside attractions (watch out for those giant cows!).
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
Important Note: This doesn't take into account stopping for Tim Hortons every hour, which is basically mandatory by Canadian law (not really, but it should be).
