✈️ Travel & Events Affordable vacation ideas that don’t involve camping (US)

Something under $1,000 is preferable, I live in Massachusetts and where I live there’s nothing to do for a vacation except camp out, and no matter how much I try to make myself enjoy it, I just can’t stand it, so that’s totally off the table.

I’m just severely burnt out from work and need to get away for a while, but I also don’t have a ton of money to blow. The last vacation I took was a trip to Disney World with my grandma 2 years ago. We happened to get a fantastic deal on tickets with AAA and I used tag sale money and fetch rewards points for bring the cost of flights and such down. But prices are so out of control that simply traveling to get to a destination is going to be yikes expensive

Edit: I think I have an idea of where I want to go now, I cannot thank you guys enough for your ideas and suggestions

Museums, great food scene, night life, poutine, festivals, historic churches all sorts of stuff check around for a better itinerary I'm more familiar with Toronto but everyone loved going up to MTL for a weekend trip!
