Two Fabulous Day Trip From NYC Suggestions

January 18, 2013

Q. Hi Jordan,

This question seems to fit your "former" life perfectly. My husband and I are in our late twenties and live in the upper west side with our dog. We JUST realized that we have the day off this Monday, and we've made no plans. Do you have any ideas for trips or day trips that would work - without a car, and possibly with a dog in tow?

A. Oh, yes. Kendrick and I are professional day-trippers; when we were living in the city I knew that moving out to the 'burbs would be a good idea for us mostly because every chance we got found us hopping a train, headed in the direction of a small town with cute restaurants and good antiquing.

Truly great, candy-apple red leather gloves are a wintertime must. I used to own a pair, but they seem to have been sacrificed to the Moving Gods.

My online wanderings have turned up these Valentino gloves, but while they're extremely beautiful, they're also unforgivably expensive (especially given the fact that gloves are items that tend to go AWOL)...so click here for a more affordable alternative (that's lined with cashmere for extra warmth, to boot).
