About this book
Overview
Horseback riding. Kayaking. Drive-in movies. Not the activities that first come to mind when you think of getaways in the New York City area. But each can be done only a short distance from the Big Apple--or in some cases, inside the city itself! City Weekends features itineraries for over 100 getaways in and outside of New York City for residents and visitors alike, including off-beat adventures, romantic outings, relaxing respites, and fresh scenery. The first section features weekends within the five boroughs; the second covers New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island, and other parts of New York state. Both describe excursions of all types--cultural activities, relaxing retreats, outdoor escapes, festivals, fairs, and markets, and trips to do with kids. Side trips that stretch each weekend into a multiday trip are given, as are options for abbreviated daytrips. Hotels and inns, places to shop and dine, and transportation tips are included.
