FEATURES 52 Weekends If your weeks in New York are a fight (and whose aren't?), weekends should be for flight. But where to escape to? That's where we come in. In the market for a reggae-steeped Jamaican beach? A Vermont mountain that actually guarantees snow? A date with a tarpon in the Florida Keys? Total pampering at an Arizona Spa? So far, so good -- but that's only four weekends. On the following pages, you'll find ideas -- including suggested hotels and restaurants -- for the other 48.
