Any great weekend trips from NYC for a short getaway that doesn’t require long travel or heavy planning?

Among the top weekend getaways from NYC are the Catskills or Hudson Valley which are great for nature lovers and hikers, the Hamptons if you desire beaches and a relaxing atmosphere, Philadelphia or Boston for those who enjoy history and culinary adventures, Washington DC for museums and sightseeing, and the Poconos or Cape May if you wish to have a quiet, picturesque retreat without going too far.
