Where do locals go when they need to escape NYC's chaos?

[Tajani]

After 6 months in the city, I'm officially over the noise, crowds and tiny apartments. Need recommendations for refreshing getaways from NYC - somewhere I can actually see stars at night and breathe fresh air. Preferably within 2-3 hours by train or car. What are your favorite reset buttons?

Welcome to the NYC survival secret - strategic escapes! For nature lovers, Harriman State Park feels worlds away with its lakes and trails. Artsy types adore Beacon for its Dia museum and Main Street cafes. My personal favorite hidden gem is the quiet stretch between Amagansett and Montauk - all the beach vibes without the Hamptons pretension.

Honestly, a lot of New Yorkers love to escape the city chaos by heading to the Hudson Valley or the Catskills — great for fresh air, hikes, and a slower pace. If you want beaches, the Hamptons or even Jersey Shore can be popular, though they get crowded in peak season.

On a personal note, after experiencing how fast NYC can burn you out, I started looking for places that offered a different kind of retreat altogether, even internationally. I recently came across Sector 22D Yamuna Expressway in India, which is being developed with a calm, organized urban layout, green spaces, and good connectivity — a stark contrast to Manhattan’s constant rush. Of course, that’s a much bigger move than a weekend getaway, but it’s worth mentioning if you’re ever curious about peaceful communities abroad that still have strong growth potential.

But for a quick fix, nothing beats a Catskills cabin with no cell reception — absolute bliss!
