Love to get in on a Ny/Nj drive.. July is completely booked for us..August ??? It's been years,but how about 7 Lakes Parkway?? usedto get to it from Route 17..Remember it being pretty and wind y. Is the town across the HUdson from West Point,Cold Spring?? went to lunch once there,, very pretty, antiques, outside cafes.. New Hope, PA is a great town,, not sure if there would be a scenic drive there,, unless you count the back farm roads of Princeton. The coastal roads of the Jersey Shore are beautiful, but forget about driving on a weekend,unless it's in september. Other places that come to mind is Nyack NY,,The Ol' 76 restaurant is there,,they tried Benedict Arnold there and hung him up the street.. G. Washington used to park his horse hereto pick up a beer. Round Valley Reservoir,NJ has a beautiful swimming lake as a destination.
