New York City is a short train ride from Northern New Jersey via NJ Transit. Kenzie and Ben recommend driving to Secaucus Junction (County Ave, Secaucus, NJ) and taking the train to New York Penn Station. From Penn Station you are a short walk or subway ride to Upper and Lower Manhattan.

We recommend checking out a show on Broadway, visiting the Empire State Building, visiting the One World Trade, or if you're really up for an adventure, we recommend taking the Subway to Brooklyn, NY to visit Other Half Brewing in Carroll Gardens.

Parking at Secaucus: $14-35

Train Ticket to NY Penn: $4.25 One Way

Subway Fares: $2.75

Get lost in the woods in the Catskill Mountains! Visit farm stands, local breweries, go hiking, biking, paddling, or anything your heart desires!

Weekend getaway or get-lost-in-the-woods week-long escape, the Catskills offer travelers something different to discover with each visit.

Travel Delaware County's rolling hillsides and make stops along the way to pick up something local and delicious from a farm stand, adventure in the great outdoors, and explore the area's historical legacies. Continue south along Route 23 into the fishing country of Sullivan County and experience not only one of the East's prime fly-fishing destinations, but the former site of one of the world's most famous music festivals: Woodstock.

Head east and stop at hipster haunts channeling the best of new and old in Ulster County, including design-chic lodging options and modern-day, farm-to-table diners. Farther north in the land of Rip Van Winkle and Greene County, discover everything from rolling hillsides to towering mountains and waterfalls that have inspired countless generations of outdoor adventurers and artists alike.

Ben & Kenzie enjoy visiting Livingston Manor, Bethel, and Woodstock, NY.

Ben & Kenzie met at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Ridgewood, NJ, where Kenzie lives. Visit Bethlehem on Sunday morning (worship at 9a) or walk through the expansive downtown, filled with lots of bakeries, coffee shops, upscale restaurants and shopping. Kenzie and Ben love to visit Bareburger, American Bulldog Coffee, and Poke Zone!

NJ Transit is also accessible from Downtown Ridgewood, where you can visit Hoboken, New York City (make a transfer at Secaucus) and more!

*Please note that Bergen County, NJ observes the Blue Law, prohibiting retail shopping on Sundays*
