Plan a day (or weekend) trip to one of these charming destinations, all of which are just a stone's throw from New York City
It is a truth universally acknowledged (by New Yorkers, anyway) that summer in the city can be something of a beast, what with the ridiculous heat in subway stations, and that smell (you know what we're talking about) that permeates city streets until October. But instead of stewing in the heat, why not get out of town for a day or two? Thanks to our fair city's location—close to New England, the Jersey Shore, Long Island's beaches, and the lovely towns along the Hudson River upstate—there's a bevy of charming towns you can visit the next time you need a break from NYC.
These towns in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey offer a little something for everyone: If you're a culture vulture, try Beacon; if you want an abundance of small-town charm, perhaps Nyack is more your speed; or if you just want to hit the beach—but not the Rockaways for the hundredth time—maybe it's time to head to Cape May. But the best part is that they're all just a few hours from NYC, so it won't be hard to drop everything, pack a bag, and get outta town.
