Day trip from NYC

[Spaghetti Town]

Hi,

Planning to visit new york later in the year and are looking at breaking up the trip with a day trip somewhere out of the city – can anyone recommend somewhere easy to get to a for a day trip – a picturesque town or city?

Thanks.

How are you planning on leaving ?

I usually go and chill over in Hoboken or Central Park but Irvington is quite nice (weather dependent)

You can get the train to so many places from Penn Station.

Philadelphia is only 90 mins away. Ride the Long Island Railroad to the end of the line at Montauk but that’s 3.5 hours

I’d say Philly for a city day trip.
