About Us

What It’s All About

“Gone are the week long trips. We are pressed for time, and crunched for cash. We want to leave on a Friday and come back Sunday, feeling completely refreshed. It’s cheaper, and it’s something we can do over and over.”

We are within driving distance of a bunch of great places. Just no one ever told us about them—until now. This web site answers that one burning question: “Hey, what do you want to do this weekend?” Married or not, kids or not, there’s something for everyone.

They Call it the Great Northeast for a Reason

As parent we always ask ourselves: What's for the kids?
For romance, we say: What about a great B&B or a restaurant?

Little Italy in New York for the best Italian food? No longer. A little jewel right in the heart of Schenectady you probably never heard of beats Little Italy hands down.

Where can we go Friday and come back Sunday? We can stay right here, nestled home. We can go to Montreal, Boston, New York City, Pennsylvania, the Vineyards, Montauk, the Cape. We can stay in, go to a coffee house, do some cool shopping. Sure, tourists flock to Saratoga in August. But there’s lots of hidden pearls right here, and a weekend away. And this online magazine is for you, and by you.

How is this magazine by you? Because we have a huge pool of talent. YOU. We advertised this extensively, looking for travelers to share the little jewels right here, close to home. We’ve asked people who went somewhere to come and share it with the rest of us.  You tell us what you're doing, and share with everyone else. Checkout our Weekender Forum!

Our mission is to become the most closely watched online magazine in the Northeast. To set the standard for other magazines. To at last answer the question we all ask: “What do you want to do this weekend?”

Part romance. Part Family. All fun.

Life -- We make the trip once. Let’s have fun.
