2 day trips from NYC

Beacon, Hudson Valley

The DIA gallery is just over 1 hour away on the Metro North railroad. Once you arrive everything is within walking distance from the DIA, to the Main Street and all the hiking trails you could want. The gallery is housed in a former Nabisco factory so it's huge and perfect to showcase the mostly, large-scale works including over 60 of the 100+ Andy Warhol shadows prints (seen below).


Jenkinson's Boardwalk, New Jersey

This boardwalk and beach were just over one hours' drive from Midtown. It was a rather overcast day when we visited but you can see how wide the boardwalk is. There's plenty to do aside from the beach including sampling fair food like funnel cakes, all the usual fast food but also a sushi bar hidden inside an arcade, a bar at the end of a pier, a young kids' fun park and a video games arcade.



Or you could always just stay in the city and head to Central Park. You never know who you might see there...
