The weather is promised to be great, albeit a little chilly, this week end
in New York. Anyone has a any recommendations where to fly from the New
York City area? I was thinking maybe Block Island or even further
Northeast to Martha's Vineyard?

If anyone has some suggestions I am all ears.

Interestingly enough, I am planning on flying down the Hudson River
tomorrow. I have never flown through the New York area in a light plane
and am looking forward to it. Any tips on navigating the VFR flyways? I am
not sure whether I should contact NY approach and get a code, or just
self-announce on the advisory frequency.

The coast of Maine is always a nice trip. There are a couple of FBOs at
Rockland (RKD) that will give you a fresh lobster with a fuel purchase. Not
sure of the quantity required. Too bad the foliage season is over.
