April Promos Are In! 🌷
Celebrating two years of Escape Club 🥳 with ELEVEN spring getaway discount codes
Happy April, Escape Club Subscribers!
I can’t believe it’s April. So long and good riddance, winter! But what’s even crazier is that our Escape Club newsletter is now TWO years old. Time truly flies.
In April 2022, we created this newsletter to stay connected with our community after Instagram decided it wanted to be TikTok. (I can say that here, right? 🤫) While short form video is great for entertainment, it’s not exactly informative; maybe I’m just speaking for myself here, but 10 second videos aren’t how I look for information of any kind. So here we are, in our happy little corner on Substack, sharing things we think will be useful and help bring a little joy to your life.
Thank you so much for joining us – all ~14,000 of you – and for our paid subscribers, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your extra support. It means the world! This space still feels positive, actually useful, and when I see our open rate, 💗 my heart swells 💗.
Below, we’re thrilled to share eleven Upstate hotels and Airbnbs with discounts and promos for April and beyond.
Not a subscriber yet? For $6/month, or $60 annually, membership pays for itself the moment you book something, plus it supports our tiny, female-led team. As always, 1% goes to the planet.
See you out there,

and the Escape Brooklyn Team

Goldie Point in Barnegat Light, NJ
Seafood, swimming, surfing, hiking and biking await guests of the impossibly cool Goldie Point in Barnegat Light, NJ. Pre-Memorial Day, this island 100 miles from NYC is super secluded and quiet; most tourists opt for high season summer visits (but what do they know?).

Its cheery, colorful, vintage interiors are the vision of the owner, a design director at Anthropologie. Outside, the yard and deck are perfect for gatherings.

Handy items like beach umbrellas, chairs, beach passes and towels are provided – plus a wagon to get it all there!
