The Ellis Island Immigration Museum is interesting for those with a penchant for history. Ellis Island was the gateway through which more than 12 million immigrants passed between 1892 and 1954. Because of its unique historical importance, it was declared part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965. The Edison National Historic Site provides a unique opportunity to interpret and experience important aspects of America's industrial, social and economic past, and to learn from the legacy of the world's best-known inventor.

Long Island, on the New Jersey coast, is a nice escape from the city. Enjoy a day on the beach at Jones Beach or Fire Island. The Wine District of Long Island makes for a pleasant drive through rolling vineyards and charming towns, in particular the 17th century town of Orient.
