Trapp Family Lodge.
It's a 6 hr or less drive from NYC and is in the Green Mountains of Vermont. You can climb Mt Mansfield one day and visit Burlington and Lake Champlain the next. Ben & Jerry's factory is nearby and there are several small wineries around. Magic Hat has a its brewery in Burlington and Long Trail's brewery is right of the interstate on the way there.
I gotta believe that the foliage is probably starting to change as well.

hawaii sounds awesome but i think i'm more in the mood for something cooler (weather-wise) and closer... vermont and maine are the front runners right now.
this lodge looks kinda sweet.
