Looking for One night commutable to NYC (Solo)
 

After months of wanting a couples getaway and not being able to find coverage for our young kids, I am looking to travel solo just for one night away from hubby and kids. Need something commutable to/from NYC by public transportation. Need WiFi and proximity to water! Some culture would be nice too! Thank you!

Brooklyn? I stayed at the NU Hotel for a few nights and it was pretty convenient.

thank you but am hoping to get out of NYC

Philly is great for one night. Boston is doable but really needs more than 1 night.

Thanks. Anything in the Hamptons for a solo commutable from NYC?

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were coming to NYC and wanted to commute into Manhattan by transit.

Easy to get there (Silver Snail or Jitney) but hard to get around without a car.

thanks nytraveler. does anyone know a place to stay with a pool, not far from beach/town? or should I just forget the area if I'm sans car?

How about taking Amtrak to Mystic, CT. Stay in the village at the Whaler's Inn or one of the B&Bs.

The Inn at Mystic is also near the village and has a pool.

thank you Fra_Diavolo that's a nice idea

Montauk might be doable if you can do a Sunday through Tuesday night. But if it's a weekend, forget it. All the beach destinations in the area have weekend minimum-stay requirements of at least 2 and usually 3 nights in August.

Thanks Doug_Stallings. I am looking for mid-week anyway so that could work. I could take the Jitney there right?

I'd take the LIRR, but the Jitney goes there, I believe. Of course this all depends on whether you can find accommodations.
