Hey guys,
So it's time for another one of those questions... (yeah I know...)
So me and my soon to be wife will be visiting your fair country of the USA for our honeymoon in July. We have ten days which we will be spending in between Boston and New York. The first few days we are staying in Boston and then we are moving on to Martha's Vinyard for about five days. We plan on visiting New York for a few days after that, but we are thinking that we might visiting somewhere else immediately before or after New York for a couple of days and this is where we are stuck. There seems to be a glut of nice little towns between Martha's Vinyard and New York, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of a consensus about which are really worth visiting for a couple of days. We will probably rent a car (although we may take the train) so we can be fairly flexible, but we don't want to be taking huge detours either.
Basically, we are looking for somewhere that is going to have a similar balance to Martha's Vinyard in terms of town vs nature. We don't want to be trapped in some tourist trap of a town with faux "Ye Olde Worlde" type tackiness, but equally we would like some genuine history. Also, we don't want to be smack bang in the middle of other summer vacationers, but at the same time don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere. What we do want is somewhere picturesque with some places to go walking about, some nice places to eat out and a few bars to have some drinks.
So, do you guys have any suggestions on towns that are worth visiting? We don't want to drive somewhere just for one thing and then to get up and go a couple of hours later, so it has to be somewhere sizeable enough to spend at least a couple of days. Sorry, I know we are asking a lot, but I'm sure there's somewhere out there that meets our expectations!
Cheers
