New York City - Day Trips
You can escape for a day in a corner of one the boroughs or head for the hills instead.
Coney Island and the Bronx Zoo remain popular day-trip destinations within the five boroughs, but further out of town there are plenty of day-trip and weekend highlights. The Hudson Valley is dotted with historic homes from New York's Age of Innocence. Long Island gets increasingly bucolic the further from the boroughs you go, while just an hour or two upstate from NYC are the superb Catskill Mountains. Philadelphia and Atlantic City are within two hours' drive.
