7 Best Day Trips from New York City
"This is a daily ferry leaving every 10, 20 or 30 minutes to take you to Shelter Island. You came all the way to Greenport. You want to see more of the water. For $2 each way, this is how you do it. This is the best way to get some beach time in—and truly escape the city—without paying much. Rent or bring a bike; the island is totally easy to get around on one. Then go to the beach with a bottle of something delicious." - Alex Van Buren, Andrea Whittle, Devra Ferst
