Let's say you are driving from Falls Church, VA to Portland, ME.
Google says that's ten hours driving time via I-95N -- > 552 miles.

Let's say you want to divide the driving time in half, for a two day trip.
That comes to five hours per day (276 miles).

A 276 mile drive from Falls Church brings you into southwestern CT.

So my answer is Mystic Seaport, CT. It's a little over half way, but stopping sooner brings you closer to New York City.
