New York City has so much to offer\u2014restaurants serving nearly every cuisine in the world, amazing museums, even the best public park on the planet, among so much else. It\u2019s easy to forget there are things to see and experience outside this metropolis of five boroughs and nearly nine million inhabitants.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, in fact, taking a day trip from New York is a worthy endeavor, as there are charming towns, comfortable beaches, and lush wilderness in nearly every direction. Here are the eight best day trips from NYC.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asbury Park, NJ<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When Bruce Springsteen\u2019s debut album, \u201cGreetings from Asbury Park,\u201d was released in 1973, it cemented the Boss\u2019s connection to this seaside New Jersey town. After all, local music venue <\/span>The Stone Pony<\/span><\/a> was where the singer got his start. And the club is still there, in case any mega-fans want to make a pilgrimage.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But one need not be a Springsteen fan to love Asbury Park. For one, it\u2019s an ideal Jersey Shore beach town with a recently revitalized boardwalk and a historic downtown where the streets are flanked by seafood-serving restaurants, cafes, and bars.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
