If you're visiting the northern states on the coast, there are lots of options. In mid-autumn, a must-tour is Rte 15 in Connecticut. Known as the Merritt Parkway, the Berlin Turnpike, the Wilbur-Cross Parkway, and simply Rte. 15. The most scenic area of that road is the Merritt.
In Massachusetts, Marblehead in Essex County is a gorgeous spot for window shopping, gallery visits, and just watching the boats come and go. Especially splendid in early summer. It's on the way to Salem, if you're interested in the history of the early american Witch Trials.
