3. Boston Getaway

Even though it’s a little farther to drive, Boston is still relatively close to NYC and provides a lot of options for Memorial Day weekend. While in Boston, you can enjoy a Red Sox game, take a walking tour or relax by the beach. You can also take in a show, go shopping or take a ferry out to the Harbor Islands.
