Don’t let winter's cooler temps prevent you from leaving the comfort of your own home! If you’re daydreaming of an escape, enjoy a weekend away at one of the below locations —all within driving distance of Long Island and New York City.

Cooperstown, New York (approximately 4 hours from NYC, 5 hours from Babylon) Cooperstown may be baseball’s home, but it’s your escape. Take a visit to the Baseball Hall of Fame, visit nearby Oneonta packed with arts and culture offerings, or warm up with a craft beer at Brewery Ommegang! Where to stay? We recommend the newly renovated Cooper Inn. Recalling the quiet grandeur of 19th century Cooperstown, the Cooper Inn has a variety of seasonal packages for guests to make the most of their travels. Or try The Otesaga, a reportedly haunted, historic hotel!   

 
Montauk, Long Island (approximately 3 hours from NYC, 1.5 hours from Babylon)
While few people think to visit this bustling summer hot-spot, Montauk is the perfect place for a truly quiet escape! While much of the town shuts down, there are still plenty of things to do off the beaten path. Where to stay? We recommend Gurneys Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa, the only four-season resort in the area! Unwind and revive at their seawater spa and dine at Scarpetta Beach —the seaside sister of the iconic Manhattan eatery. 

Hudson, New York (approximately 2.5 hours from NYC, 3 hours from Babylon)
Great food, cozy B&Bs, and antiques. Need we say more? Situated along the Hudson River, you can find many downstate New Yorkers escaping to this quaint historic town on the weekends. Where to stay? We recommend Wm Farmer and Sons — intimate hotel meets delicious eatery. With professional mixologists tending the bar, you can expect a perfectly crafted cocktail before retiring for the evening upstairs!

 

The Hamptons, Long Island (approximately 3 hours from NYC, 1 hour from Babylon)
Best known for its beautiful beaches and summer events — visiting in the off season does have its perks. Browse world class art at Parrish Art Museum or sip some vino at an east end vineyard, crowd free. Where to stay? We recommend Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton — the first full-service luxury hotel in the Hamptons with rooms available in their historic House or nearby Cottages. The onsite restaurant is farm to table and open year-round for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

With peak season prices and no vacancies, spending a weekend or night in the Hamptons and Montauk can be tough. If only you could spend a day utilizing some of the great amenities hotels out East offer.

Many hotels open their doors to day-trippers, offering a taste of East End life that is typically reserved for their overnight guests. Interested? We don’t blame you! See below for a few places to check out this season:

Get a day pass at the Southampton Inn!

To make it a truly epic day, sign up for a specialty brunch and a 45-minute stand up paddle-boarding guided lesson!

BBQ at Gurney’s!
Upscale East End resort, Gurney’s Montauk Resort and Seawater Spa, has opened up their beach club on Saturdays to day-trippers with an afternoon BBQ! With an assortment of food starting at 11am, from slow cooked ribs to hot dogs, and live DJ until 6pm- why not spend the day at a barbeque on the beach? Non-hotel guests can reserve the resort’s traditional yellow and white beach cabanas for the day as well (just note, there’s a $500 food and drink minimum during the weekdays and $1,500 on weekends for groups of up to eight people).
