TAHITI
Want to trade Broadway for Bora Bora? Come July 4, it will be a lot easier to do so – that’s when Air Tahiti Nui inaugurates nonstop service from JFK to Papeete in Tahiti, from where it’s a short hop to the other palm-studded Society Islands such as Moorea and Bora Bora. The airline will transport you from concrete jungle to tropical bliss in 12 hours.

CAPE MAY
Here’s a novel idea for dinner in charming Cape May, N.J.: hop aboard a trolley that shuttles from restaurant to restaurant until you’ve completed a five-course gourmet feast, each course served at a different eatery and accompanied by a glass of wine. The Chef’s Dine-Arounds, as they’re called, are sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts and take place April 27 and 28. Tickets are $100 a person.
