Memorial Day Weekend ushers in a few things: the ability to wear white jeans with abandon, the return of summer cookouts and the desire to flee the city as fast as humanly possible. Although the Jitneys are filling up fast, there’s still time to book a trip outside the boroughs for a quick refresh. There’s something for every palate. For a quintessential kickoff to summer, what’s better than a few days on Nantucket? Alternatively, you can head to the iconic Jersey Shore—Cape May is less than a three-hour drive. You also have charming towns in upstate New York, including the Catskills. But, you needn’t travel too far to find respite. Tarrytown and many Long Island villages are easy to access and at convenient distances to make you feel hundreds of miles away when you’re really just a stone’s throw. So, take your pick of these last-minute Memorial Day weekend getaways from NYC. Whether you choose the mountains or the beach, you’ll come back to the city ready to swing into summer.
