Binghamton
Sitting at the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango rivers in New York's Southern Tier, Binghamton is a mid-sized city with a walkable, café-lined centre and a layered industrial past — once known for cigars, shoes, and computers, and the place where the flight simulator was invented. IBM was founded nearby. Today the city is reshaping itself around healthcare and education, with Binghamton University as a central force, while rolling hills and the Pennsylvania border lie close by.
