When Manhattan Summers Are Too Muggy, Here Is Where To Go
July 7th, 2010 at 9:54If you live in New York, then you know how terrible summers here can be. The streets are crowded, and the heat is sweltering. Come the weekend during the summer, the last thing you want to do is stick around in Manhattan. Here some great weekend getaway options.
If you have access to a car, then you may want to consider heading upstate to a bed and breakfast. The Catskills are a beautiful place to visit. If you don’t want to go that far, try Crabtree’s Kittlehouse for a romantic getaway with a significant other.
If you’ve never been to Fire Island, put it on your summer checklist. Every town in Fire Island has its own unique character, but they all have something in common: no cars. If it weren’t for the cell phones that people are on, you would think you are in the 1950s in Fire Island.

Of course, a very popular option for New Yorkers on the weekend is to head out east to the Hamptons. I personally don’t love the nightlife out in the Hamptons, but it is a great place to be during the day.
The Hamptons is broken up into several towns, but some of my favorites are West Hampton, South Hampton and Bridgehampton. These “villages” have the best towns to walk around.
If you are looking to go to Long Island, but the Hamptons aren’t your scene, look into the North Fork of Long Island. Towns like Greenpoint and Orient point are wonderful weekend destinations. The wine out there is excellent, as are the baked goods at Briermeir farm.
Cape Cod makes for a great holiday weekend getaway. It’s about a 3 hour long drive, but well worth it. The Lobster Rolls alone are worth the trip to me!
