Swap the urban grind of New York City for the Ivy League prestige of Cambridge, one of the world's most celebrated academic cities, located just across the river from Boston. Organized day trips make the roughly 4-hour journey through Connecticut and Rhode Island, with stops at the historic Harvard Yard and the cutting-edge MIT campus. Grab a coffee in a student-filled café, browse the legendary bookstores of Harvard Square, rub the foot of the John Harvard statue for luck, and be back in Manhattan by nightfall without ever touching a steering wheel.
