I'm planning a 2-day getaway for sometime within the next 3 weeks.
Any suggestions for a place with the following criteria?
- within a distance of a 3 hr (max) drive from Brooklyn
- Kosher food available for purchase (restaurants preferable)
- beautiful hotel that's not more than 15-20 min drive from kosher food and Chabad or other minyan
- 2 nice indoor places to see/things to do in the area just in case of cold weather such as a mansion, interesting museum, IMAX, aquarium, etc...

Thanks for your suggestions!

Connecticut.

Beautiful Hilton in Stamford area.

IMAX in Old Greenwich attached to aquarium. You could sit outside in the public areas it's beautiful, peaceful.

There's a Chabad in Stamford and another shul. Chabad doesn't always have minyan in the summer, they should be able to direct you.

Nice shopping mall

I would recommend Cherry Hill/Philly. There's plenty of minyan and restaurant options, and indoors you've got the Camden Aquarium, American Jewish History Museum, Constitution Museum, Franklin Institute, mint, and Liberty Bell.

There is one kosher restaurant in Stamford, to the best of my knowledge. 613. Its quite good.

But I can't imagine going to Stamford for a getaway. I'd recommend Philly. Or Baltimore (although its a bit further). Or Cape May.
