Daycation Dining Destinations

We all need to get out of the city sometimes, especially during the hot, muggy days of summer. The need for periodic ventilation outside the New York City limits is part of our civic DNA, and there’s no better pretext to take an excursion than a good meal. That’s why we’ve put together a list of five restaurants worthy of a day trip. It's not a vacation. It's not a staycation. It's a daycation: a two-way, there-and-back pleasure trip to enjoy a dining experience that’s off the beaten path--but not so far off that you’ll need to book a hotel room.
