Options are limited without a car I know. I'll think about it.
Sounds crazy but check rates on uber or lyft for a long distance trip

Otherwise you're limited to plane, train, or greyhound bus + taxi

One day I saw that one travel agency in Chinatown (East Broadway) selling return-trip bus tickets for $30 pp to Virginia beach.

Provincetown, MA. No car needed once you are there. Lots to do including beach walks, swimming, hiking, nice upscale restaurants, art galleries, biking, whale watches, etc. You can fly from Westchester on Cape Air. Or take bus to Boston and then high speed ferry.

Amtrak has vacation suggestions based on their routes. Take at look at their website and options based on trains leaving from Penn Station.

Another options might be Baltimore, MD or certain towns in Cape Cod (MA) which one can get to by bus from NYC?!
Those are all really good suggestions, thanks.

Thanks very much Henna. This actually sounds perfect. I'll look into the flight, but I don't mind taking Mega or Bolt bus to Boston and then going by ferry.

A friend had taken the train to Chicago and loved the experience. I thought about it for us, but wasn't into it. It's a good idea to look on their site for other destinations that would interest us though.
