2nd Croatia or Slovenia. Budapest, Hungary might be another alternative.

Portugal is easy to get to from NY and will be quite warm. It's also very very cheap.

For only a week, see Lisbon, Sintra, and Evora---all easy to access from Lisbon. Get a good guide book.

Sintra and Evora do not have any nightlife nor beaches so you would be disappointed in them. Both towns shut up by 7:00 - no one on the streets. Sintra was my very favorite place; it's beautiful and has some great sightseeing. It's only a half hour from Lisbon on the train so very accessible for a day trip or overnight. Trains are cheap in Portugal - a 2 hour ride to Evora only cost E10.

I guess Lisbon would be best for nightlife and you can access beaches from there.
