Hey all!

My husband and I both magically have the day off tomorrow, and we're looking for day trips within 1/2 hour to 1 hr drive from NYC. We're open for anything.... any ideas for some cool stuff to do tomorrow? I hear the weather's going to be beautiful!

Drive down to New Hope. Great little town, shops and restaurants.

I don't know - the area around West Point is nice, some parks in the area.

The Delaware Water Gap area?

I don't know if this is too late, but from where you are the Tarrytown area is really beautiful with lots to do.

This might be a bit of a hike for you, but in PA there is a place called Bushkill Falls. It's a nice nature walk and a beautiful area.

Why not try one of NJ's many State Parks (while they are still open).
