Day trips to Montauk or Fire Island?
ITA - or also Greenport and go to Claudios for lunch/dinner. We love doing that and stopping at the vineyyards, farmstands etc on the way out (or back)..plus its a pretty ride!

me and DH went to the Bronx Zoo this wednesday...it's free on Wednesdays, just gotta pay for parking....we had a good time! Sure beats lounging around doing nothing.
What about seeing the statue of liberty?
Me and DH love splish splash...yes we're a couple of 5 year olds lol I get antsy sitting on the beach so I'd rather do other outdoor/water things.
was the bronx zoo like PACKED OUT cause it was a 'free' day???
it opens at 10, we got there around 10:30 and it wasnt bad, by 1230ish it was getting crowded but still not too bad, we were able to see everything by 2 and thats when summer camp kids were leaving too so it's only really crowded from 1230-2ish....definitely worth going on a free day....

Re: mini day-cations
I second what the pp said....Claudio's and walking around Greenport...there are cute shops and some good restaurants. Pick a Hampton and walk around: Sag Harbor, EH, SH (Im an east ender...so if you decide on that...fm me) NYC...a show: Rock of Ages is awesome. Even just something random like going to the EW and chilling out: they have a spa and a nice little restaurant. ( I was married there last week, so I am a little biased and want to go back!!!!)

Re: mini day-cations
def check out this site I found called Goldstar. They have half-price tickets of concerts, sports, theater.
Ive bought a few diff things on here its fun. theres got to be something on there that you can do on your week off.
sign up-its free, it will tell you events in your area..than you can click new york to see ones in the city.
the boat rides look a lot of fun. esp the speed one

Look into The Waters Edge Resort and Spa in Westbrook, CT. Its about 20 mins to the casino. Outlet shopping 2 mins. Lots of great restaurants. Its an AMAZING plus to do your pics if you wanted. Definitely look into it.
