Getaway not far from the city. Nice beach, surreal pool. Next to Fire Island (which is also super nice).

Get a piece of the south back with a chicken biscuit from Pies & Thighs.

The amazing sidewalks across the street from the New York Public Library.

Cute little French Café with beautiful croissants. Thanks for the reco, Kim!

Dead Horse Bay is about an hour and a half from lower Manhattan by public transit, but well worth the journey. There is so much glass on the beach that the waves make a soft tinkling sound as they roll in. It’s a scavenger’s dream, and glass isn’t the only thing you’ll find here. There are still plenty of horse bones to remind you where the place gets its name.
