Spring Break is near! While you wish you did, you most likely don’t have plans to vacation on an exotic island with your best pals, nor do you have the money to do so. Check out some alternative getaways in the New York City area below!
- Rent an Airbnb with your pals!
Who said staying in New York City during spring break had to be boring? Try out a new neighborhood with Airbnb, maybe the glamorous Upper East Side or trendy Williamsburg. Better yet, the larger the party the cheaper it is on your part. How nice is that?
- Take a day trip to a nearby city!
One of the awesome things about New York is its proximity to other major cities in the United States. Philadelphia and Washington D.C. are only a few hours away via bus or train. Plan a day trip and explore some of these historic cities!
- Treat yourself at one of Manhattan’s spas!
Girl’s day? I think…YES! Use the money you’d be spending on a plane ticket and put it toward yourself! Get a mani/pedi or a facial, your skin will be glowing once classes start up again.
- Check out the Cloisters!
Head to Washington Heights (uptown), for a glimpse into medieval times at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “the Cloisters”. With scenic views, this place is the perfect chance for an instagram-able photo-op.
- Do something touristy!
Have you ever wanted to go to the top of the Empire State Building or take the ferry to Ellis Island, but you thought it was too touristy? Why not go for it over break? Head to one of New York’s most notable locations and be a tourist for the day!
