2. Hudson
Travel time: 127 miles (2 hours 45 minutes)
A lot of people make comparisons between Brooklyn and Hudson. Sure, they may be a couple of hours away from one another, but they both boast a creative food scene, beautiful antique shops, and a fun vibe. Couple that with the ability to explore the nature of greater Hudson Valley, Hudson will certainly become a Brooklynite's home away from home.

3. Finger Lakes
Travel time: Travel time: 260 miles (5 hours 20 minutes)
Our furthest suggestion on the list, but well worth the drive. The Finger Lakes region consists of eleven lakes named that because of their long skinny shape. This region is New York's premiere wine-producing region, so it's a popular destination for wine tastings. From hiking and biking, to boating and fishing, outdoor enthusiasts will have plenty to explore. If epic waterfall selfies are your thing, visit Watkins Glen State Park which sports 19 scenic falls in the park alone.

You won't have to worry about lodging here - New Hope is well known for its historic hotels and inns. If you're a fan of hot coffee and fresh-baked goods, start your day in New Hope at the Ferry Market. After that, explore Main Street, which is where most of the town's eclectic shopping can be had.
