Driving Trips from New York City
I live in Manhattan and have recently purchased a car ( crazy, but true) I'd love to take advantage of the nice weather (coming) and find some places to go for a day or even overnight or two.....suggestions for sightseeing, scenic places, beaches, concert venues, and shopping will all be welcome......
Thanks, Susan

Susan, you need to get a good book on the subject. I haven't used it, but here's one

Some of my favorites
Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate
Spring Lake, NJ
Hudson, NY (antiques)
Greenwich, Ct.
Nyack
Cold Spring
Rhinebeck
Sagamore Hill (Long Island) & Old Westbury Gardens

Bear Mountain State Park
West Point Military Academy
FDR's home in Hyde Park
For shopping Woodbury Common is only about an hour north of the city
Saratoga is great off season (don't do end of July through August since it's mobbed with people for the racing)
The Hamptons, North Fork - tons of places - just don;t do the height of the season - lots of little museums and galleries, wineries, historical houses etc

When you go to Woodbury, head upstate on the thruway farther and get off at the Saugerties exit. You can go to Katterskill Falls from there which is on Hunter Mountain.
Nice cool place to get away from the city summer.
