Thanks for the suggestions folks. We arrived late last night after weather caused flight delays that were affecting most east coast air traffic. Today is a rest day then we'll take the train into Penn Station and visit the Highline, Met, Greenwich Village. Friday we're going to Brooklyn to see Prospect Park and other things, ending the day in Manhattan watching a play (Operation Mincemeat).
After that we'll be sheltering away from the crowds and watching fireworks at our friends' homenear Northport, Long Island for the 4th. Following that, perhaps a tour of Long Island then a couple of days in Hyde Park, hiking at Bear Mountain State Park, visiting the Eleanor Roosevelt Estate and dining at the Culinary Institute.
In between times, lots of swimming, kayaking and hiking at our digs on Northport Bay. If we can fit it in there's a local theater company doing HMS Pinafore.
That should about fill our time up I think.
To answer the question about who "we" are, it's just myself and my S.O. both 70+ years young.

"Man is a little germ that lives on an unimportant rock ball that revolves about a small star at the outskirts of an ordinary galaxy. ... I am absolutely amazed to discover myself on this rock ball rotating around a spherical fire. It's a very odd situation. And the more I look at things I cannot get rid of the feeling that existence is quite weird. -- Alan Watts
