Pretty much anywhere you go "vacation" you will need to bring along food, unless you go to a city with a well-established Jewish community.

One place I can think of is Tannersville, NY near Hunter Mountain. There is a kosher grocery there with every imaginable product. You can stay in Kaaterskill Hotel, I heard it's a nice hotel, or if you want more country lodge style there are plenty of those. It's a beautiful, scenic place and not far from Brooklyn.

We've stayed at the Ocean Place in Long Branch NJ and ate out at Deal restaurants...it was nice! There's also a Jewish bed and breakfast nearby.

My husband and I stayed in the Chateau Inn & Suites in Spring Lake NJ, they had really nice rooms and was a pretty area - there's a park across the street with a pond and some cute little shops to browse in within walking distance. Also, they just redid the boardwalk at the beach (as it was destroyed in the hurricane) and did a really nice job on it. Spring Lake isn't far from Deal, NJ (around 20 minutes away) or Lakewood (25 minutes away) where you have lots of options for kosher restaurants.

Stamford, CT has three kosher restaurants (Kosh, a fleishig restaurant, Navaratna, a dairy/vegetarian Indian restaurant, and Mike's Cafe, a pizza/dairy place in the JCC) as well as two Orthodox shuls and an active Chabad. There are several hotels within a mile or so of the shuls, and plenty of things to do in the area.
