And while all the doom and gloom of the season is certainly enough to make any New Yorker want to fly south for the weekend, I wouldn&#8217;t book your flights too fast.<\/p>\n<p>It just so happens that you don&#8217;t have to hurry all the way to the Caribbean to escape that New York chill.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 9 nearby places you should be taking a weekend getaway from NYC this year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Bear Mountain, New York<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21118 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shutterstock_39850987.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Getaways\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>1 hour and 10 minutes by car from NYC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just over an hour outside of NYC, the Bear Mountain State Park is the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Scenic views, stellar peaks and few cozy little B and B&#8217;s? It doesn&#8217;t really get better than this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Newport, Rhode Island<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21119 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shutterstock_114660472.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Getaways\" width=\"679\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3 hours and 38 minutes by car from NYC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rhode Island may not sound like an amazing weekend getaway, but trust us when we say that it totally is. This tiny coastal community is home to some fantastic restaurants, unreal ocean views and romantic boutique hotels that can&#8217;t be beat. Plus, from beach polo to ice sculptures, there&#8217;s always something fun happening in Newport.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Lake Placid, Adirondacks<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21120 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shutterstock_103307180.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Getaways\" width=\"1000\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>5 hours by car from NYC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Home to the 1980 Winter Olympics (and supposedly a giant crocodile or two), Lake Placid is your go to spot for winter sports in NY. If you can, try and score any of the sick cabins up for rental on Airbnb \u2013 it&#8217;ll be a weekend you&#8217;ll never forget.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Boston, Massachusetts<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21121 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shutterstock_233537392.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Getaways\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>4 hours and 25 minutes by car from NYC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, okay, I know \u2013 there may be some bitter rivalry between Bean Town and NYC, but don&#8217;t rule it out quite yet. With great nightlife, ridiculously delicious restaurants, and maybe just a few less people than the Big Apple (okay, a lot less), Boston is a solid choice for a girls trip from the city.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Montreal, Canada<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21122 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shutterstock_557303851.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Getaways \" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>About 1 hour by plane from NYC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, yes \u2013 you might have to hop on a plane for this weekend getaway, but Montreal is definitely worth the extra cost. Avoid the crazy crowds of the summer by exploring this French-Canadian city in the winter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Poconos, Pennsylvania<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21123 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shutterstock_169788791.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Getaways \" width=\"1000\" height=\"698\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>About 2 hours by car from NYC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gorgeous views? Check. Amazing wildlife? Check. Hiking, skiing and snowboarding? Check, check and check. The Poconos is practically calling your name this winter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Stowe, Vermont<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21124 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shutterstock_275073116.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Getaways \" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>About 6 hours by car from NYC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I mean, just look at that scenery! Do I really need to say anything else?<\/p>\n<p>Stowe, Vermont may be a little further away than some of the other weekend getaways on this list, but the drive is half the fun. Take in the sounds and sights of New England while escaping those of NYC on a trip to this breathtaking mountainside town this winter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Mystic, Connecticut<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21125 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shutterstock_89717386.jpg\" alt=\"Weekend Getaways\" width=\"1000\" height=\"662\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3 hours by car from NYC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Live out your Julia Roberts dreams by visiting quaint Mystic, Connecticut.
