What month will you visit?

Without driving, you’re limited on how much of the coast you’ll really be able to see. Most of it is accessed by car and Ubering all over will get costly.

I would do a little New England tour. Maybe fly into Boston, then you can take the Amtrak to Mystic. Mystic is mildly touristy but not bad. It’s a very cute New England town on the water, whaling history, lots to do. Enough tourists around that you should be able to Uber without issue. Then from Mystic, head to New Haven or Stamford on Amtrak. You’ll find city vibes there, still coastal, with a nice nightlife. Then you could even end in NYC, taking the cheaper MetroNorth in. Spend a couple days and fly out of JFK.

Full disclosure - I have never personally used Amtrak but I do know these cities mentioned have Amtrak stations at least. Don’t know the schedules and how frequently they run.

this is a great answer depending on how much time you have and what time if year you're traveling. eg, Two nights in Boston, then take the train to Westerly, RI. If it's summer(ish), enjoy the RI coastline. It's better than Connecticut's. Hop back on the train (or Uber) to Mystic or Stonington for a night or two, continue on to New Haven and then final stop NYC.
