One of the classic vacation spots for New Yorkers is the Hamptons, which is the eastern end of Long Island. According to Widipedia, "s usual in a summer colony, parts of the Hamptons are a well known playground for the rich who own summer homes there as well as a seaside resort frequented by the residents of New York City during the summer months for weekend getaways."

The Catskill Mountains in upstate NY is also a popular getaway spot, as well as a place to buy a second home for many New Yorkers.

If I lived in New York I would also consider vacationing in southern Rhode Island, if it's summer time. For other parts of the year, the eastern coast of southern Florida would be tempting. Florida is also a popular spot for New Yorkers to retire and probably also a popular vacation desitnation.
