Anita, Here's my plug for New York: while on route, save a day for Manhattan. Yes, be warned, driving is usually quite horrible. If you can, check out South Street Seaport Museum on Front Street not far south of the Brooklyn Bridge (parking is usually available right there), and/or their New York Unearthed exhibit way downtown at Battery Park (neato urban archaeology and conservation lab displays). From Battery Park, you can get the ferry to Ellis Island, or visit the Statue of Liberty, though it may not be worth the time/effort to get to the top. And of course, there are the touristy must-sees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History, both up in the 80s (86th Street?) on Central Park. Have a good trip!
