There are an almost unlimited number of things to see and do in NYC—many of which are detailed in the pages accessed from the menu in the blue column on the right. But a day trip/coach tour may be just the ticket for a bit of relaxation and an opportunity to explore nearby cities and attractions.
Washington DC, Boston, and Philadelphia are all close enough for a day trip from New York with enough time for sightseeing and shopping. Amish Country, the Hamptons and Sag Harbor provide variety and are close enough to explore on a day trip.
