Big cities have huge advantages and no one could deny that. You have theaters, museums, opera, ballet, great night life every day of the weeks, different coffee flavors for each day of the month and so on. But then again, all that crowd can often suppress you and just a walk in the park and a little yoga doesn't do enough anymore. That means you need weekend getaway somewhere outside. New York is perhaps the best city in the world when it comes to job options, entertainment and places to see, but living in a stressful environment like that can literally consume you sometimes. That's when weekend getaways can help, and everybody who lives in that city should plan a holiday from time to time, just for a battery recharge.
Ideas for weekend getaways from NYC
The first choice for many people from New York who want a getaway that is still close is Hudson City. It is a great place with soul, and its antique shops and historic mansions give unique spirit for memorable vacation. Less than two hours driving from New York City, you will feel like you're transported to another dimension that brings peace and stress relief. This place has the power of forgetfulness, because you won't be able to think of every-day problems of work and home. Just get out on the streets and let Hudson environment provide you with wonderful time.
If you already explored Hudson, try New Paltz, Ulster County next time. This place on the west bank down the Hudson River is also quite rich in history, culture and beauty of nature. You can easily find arrangement online.
You probably noticed how I love antiques, so here is another option for weekend getaways from NYC that has lovely antique shops that can take all of your time and make you dream about the past: North Fork, Suffolk County! I love places that have antique spirit because that is the only way I can really get away from the over-modernized New York and find peace. North Fork has lovely beaches and parks, but perhaps the most interesting places there are the wineries. If you are a wine lover, this weekend getaway will be the one of the best you can imagine.
