New
York Day Trips
In summer,
tourist attractions that make the best day trips are boat
trips around Manhattan or up the Hudson, trips to beaches
on Long Island or Fire Island, horseback
riding, and shopping,
and visiting wineries.
Music
includes classical venues and top name groups in places
like Jones Beach on Long Island where you can combine a
day of fun in the sun with an evening concert.
In fall
and winter, there are spectacular foliage
tours, a family day out apple or pumpkin picking, winery
visits, as well as a number of ski lodges in the Catskills
and other mountain areas for a day of fun on the slopes.
For
most attractions in the farther reaches of town, simply
hop on the subway or bus, and don't forget a host of free
New
York city summer attractions going on all season long.
For
more outlying locations, there are regularly scheduled trains
and buses to lure the big city dweller or New York City
tourist. With so much to see and do for every age group,
it's easy to understand why these outings are so popular
with families.
