Things to do on weekends outside of New York City

There are many things you can do on weekends in New York City but how about outside of city, have

you wondered how you could spend your weekend ? Here are few things you can consider when you are heading outside of your city:

 If shopping is something that can make your day, go to Weschester Mall in downtown White Plains, New York. This upscale mall has mid to high end stores and some of the major retailers like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. There are plenty of comfortable sitting areas on every story and gorgeous decorations.

If you enjoy outside dining and people watching, you will enjoy going to Piermont, New york. It's a small village incorporated in Rockland County, New York, on the west side of the Hudson River, only 25 minutes away from the George Washington Bridge. Piermont, NY has a lot of restaurants and coffee shops with outside sitting areas, that gives this place very charming, European look.

If you don't mind to drive little further from NYC, you should visit Cold Spring, New York that is a village in the town of Philipstown, NY. Once you are in Cold Spring, make sure you go to Dockside Park __not only you will enjoy beautiful views on Hudson River but also, you may get treated with outdoor movies or live music. We went there this Sunday and enjoyed Live Music (check out my Instastories for more details __ HERE). Buy some delicious ice cream in the creamery across the street. And, you can not leave Cold Spring without strolling Main Street where you will find the cutest small shops.

If you have little kids and you are in Bergen County NJ, you can visit Bergen County Zoo in Paramus NJ, your little ones will love there even though it's a small zoo. The best ting is that it has a train and  also, you can purchase a food stick for birds for $1 and feed them. For my daughter that was the best part of her Bergen County Zoo experience .
