The first Monday of September, Labor Day serves as summer's unofficial last hurrah. The three-day weekend is a last-ditch opportunity to soak up the waning rays of sunshine before fall sets in — and to squeeze in a trip without taking PTO. Of course, there are myriad ways to spend your hard-earned holiday, from classic coastal escapes to urban getaways. Labor Day weekend marks the tail end of high-season rates, but deals are out there if you know where to look; for example, heading to a city may be easier on the wallet than a beach destination.
