Milford, Pennsylvania

Don't be scared, Pennsylvania may be another state but it's at most an hour and a half drive away from Manhattan. You'll be fine, especially if your visit includes the oh-so-lovely Hotel Fauchère, a historic inn dating back to the 1800s. You'll fit right in with the locals, a mix of New York expats, hip young families, and vintage-lovers. Spend the day doing an autumnal hike and finish off with a meal at the hotel's famous Delmonico Room.
