When you get to New York come out on Long Island. Take a cruise on the Ocean Parkway. Get to it by taking Meadowbrook Parkway to its southern end then cruise east on Ocean Parkway. It is exactly what its name implies. A parkway that runs along the Atlantic Ocean with Beaches and restaurants and watering holes. Stop at Cedar Beach Fri Sat eves live music food motorcycles, Seafood Shack more food, bikes, Oak Beach Parking lot weekend mornings lots of MCs, same with Captree Boat Basin. Go over the Robert Moses bridge to Fire Island for some more views. Park in Robert Moses State Park Field 5 and walk east to Kismet Beach for some fun at night.
ps Be mindful of Deer crossing the road on Fire Island

check out the dulles greenway to 15north to harrisburg. harrisburg may even have some bike week thing going on until sunday.
from harrisburg take 422 east to reading. then 222 east to allentown.

You really dont know what you are talking about. Guess you have never been down Ocean Parkway or to the Robert Moses State Parks.
Dumb thing for you to say.
FWIW, Greenwich Village / downtown Brooklyn, one N train ride away for ya Bob ☺
