Getting AWAY from NYC (can you believe it?)
My husband and I are trying to plan a long weekend away from the city with another couple (our best friends) to celebrate our 30th birthdays. We want to fly somewhere about 2-3 hours away (from Thurs-Sun) in early June. We want to maximize our vacation, so no far drives from the airport. Looking for a relaxing destination with great food, warm weather (either a beach or pool option), some nightlife. Any suggestions for spots/hotels/restaurants? Thanks!

Bermuda's a nice idea but it will be pricey at that time of year. Big honeymoon destination.
How about South Beach, Miami? has everything you're looking for and maybe decent rates at that time of year.

If you would rather say in the US:
American, Continental, Delta & JetBlue all have RT non-stops to San Juan PR for less than $250 from NYC.
Great food, warm weather, beach AND pools, as much or little nightlife as you want.
OK, it's a little more than 3 hours. but is an extra 45 minutes a deal-breaker??
Not sure what your hotel budget is.

If you're strict about the 2 to 3 hours, you're really talking about the Carolina's or Florida.
If you're willing to go a bit longer, say between 3 and 4 hours, you have far more options.
Two that I might consider are Cancun and St. Martin. While Cancun isn't my favorite part of Mexico, the beaches are great, there are some nice restaurants, and certainly there is nightlife.
I think the French side of St. Martin is a great place. La Samana is a really nice resort and there are some wonderful restaurants. The Dutch side has some nightlife and the casinos.

Hey, I'll trade places with you. You fly 3 hours to KC, MO and I'll come to NYC. We'll trade!!
Great idea, eh? The pool is a block from my house and the airport is less than 20 minutes away. In June, it will be 90 degrees. Lots of good ribs and barbecue.
Whady'a say?
