Weekend getaway ideas

Thinking of driving up from New York City for a weekend to explore somewhere new. I’ve heard Boston has a lot of history and great food, but I’m not sure how to make the most of a short trip. What are some must‑see spots for a first‑time visitor, and is it better to focus on the city itself or include some coastal stops along the way? Any tips for a relaxed but interesting itinerary would be awesome.

A weekend road trip from NYC to Boston is a classic for good reason. You can definitely pack a lot into two days if you plan ahead. In Boston, essentials include walking the Freedom Trail, visiting the North End for Italian food, and exploring neighborhoods like Beacon Hill. If you have time, driving along the coast through Rhode Island or stopping in Salem can add variety.
