I'm looking for a small town within a 3-5 hour flight from D.C., on the east coast (literally), and with a hipster vibe. I've always wanted to go to Rhode Island for instance but I don't know much about it.
Help me out with a suggestion for a place to go on a 1-2 week vacation? I'd love if the town was known for B-and-Bs, had a chipotle, starbucks, and a whole foods centrally located and was on the water. Thank you! |

I was hoping to avoid big cities and a flight out to the west coast.
I really want something like the small towns you see on TV shows like Gilmore Girls or The Vampire Diaries. Except on the water and preferably I can find a condo/VRBO townhouse that is on top of a Chipotle. Something like this?

Not on the coast but it is gorges  and it has a cute albeit hippy/hipster vibe to it. Lots of outdoor activities and good local restaurants

OP here. I love the small-town vibe of Ithaca, its exactly the kind of place I was looking for and I've been there. Unfortunately its a PITA to get to and I'm not big on driving.
