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.


For more information, call 800-275-4278 or visit www.capemaymac.org.

COOPERSTOWN


The Leatherstocking Golf Course at the historic Otesaga Resort in Cooperstown, N.Y., is considered by many to be one of the East’s most scenic and challenging resort golf courses. Sweeping along the western shore of Lake Otsego, the course was designed by Devereux Emmet in 1909 and has been hailed for its commitment to high environmental standards and preservation of wildlife habitat. The Otesaga’s Leatherstocking Golf Package offers unlimited golf, breakfast and dinner daily, a golf cart for one round of golf for each night’s stay, and a free ticket to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Farmers’ Museum, or Fenimore Art Museum. The package is based on double occupancy and requires a two-night minimum stay (rates start at $235.50 a person a night).
