There is a fascinating backstory to this bridge. Among other things, it took an extraordinary amount of time to build due to problems with bureaucracy and red tape. From the time it was announced as a project, it took 31 years to begin construction. The bridge eventually started construction in 1936 and opened in 1939. The bridge stretches for an impressive 3,700 feet over the East River.

New York is the state with the highest percentage of homes without a car (excluding the District of Columbia), meaning many day trips are within reach of NYC by train. If you're seeking relaxation, explore one of the small, colorful villages of New York's Hudson River Valley. Perhaps you'd prefer to dine on Neapolitan-inspired pizza in a charming corner of Connecticut or stroll along the waterfront in one of New Jersey's coolest suburbs.

To shake things up and bring a little excitement to your routine, consider a hotel staycation. It's an ideal way to spruce up a month with few plans on the calendar, or to celebrate a special occasion. Logistics are minimal, meaning planning is a breeze compared to gearing up for an international or multi-leg trip, and there's no jet lag to worry about or days off needed.
