Some of us travelled throughout the year and are taking the summer to stay put or simply aren’t balling this summer 2017. Whatever might be locking you down on the east coast for the next few months, here a few spots to check out to let your mind escape.

First thing’s first, find a pool or beach.

If pools are your thing, here’s a guide to make the most our of not being a pool member, don’t mention it 😉 – Thrillist: How to Sneak into NYC Rooftop Pools

If you’re into the sand between your toes (and everything else) New York beaches aren’t too shabby. Rockaway Beach and Brighton Beach are two of my personal favorites but there are also ferries that go out to Sandy Hook Beach from FiDi. If you’re feeling extra adventurous there is always Coney Island!

Connect with Nature

Only 2 hours out of the city you’ll find lakes to chill by and mountains to hike. Check out spots in the Hudson Valley for some awesome views and a quick escape.
