Things to do and places to visit on th East Coast

[Tonitrus]

As the people said...December?  Potentially bad weather and short days mean it might be best to go big on the indoor stuff...which  NYC and DC have plenty of.

Yeah, unless you're planning a ski trip or going to Florida, you don't really want to plan much of anything outdoorsy on the East Coast during December.

[PDH]

East Coast?  Pffft, that sucks.

Better beaches, not that it matters in December.

I've been in December and it's totally fine to do outside stuff. Except for the limited amount of daylight it's more manageable than going in summer I'd say.
So Valley Forge, Gettysburg etc are very doable. I would say a week for the DC/Philly area and another for NYC.

Haha. Spoken like a fool.

It is true...crowds for the CW battlefields will be light.  But keep in mind possible Snowmageddons and be flexible.

Valley Forge in snow could be a nice hike 
But obviously you adapt your schedule to the weather. I don't think I was even wearing a coat during my December visit.

[The Brain]

Did you at least wear pants?

Spoken like someone who knows the direction of the major currents. East gets water from the Caribbean, West gets water from Alaska. East wins.

[garbon]

East also has southerners and a good stretch of the east coast has rocks, not beaches.

[Eddie Teach]

Ah, just bigotry. Carry on.

[Gups]

Quick related hijack.

We're planning a week in NYC (probably staying in Brooklyn) in October. Would like a day trip out of the city to see a bit of countryside. Is somewhere on Long Island the best bet, if so where?

I hope there will be a Gups-Minsky meeting, as it would easily be the most sophisticated Languish meet ever.
