Table, since I know you're a driver, you should seriously consider Italy. You're in NYC, right? So you're only like a 6 hour flight from FUM. Go to Rome and start taking in the wonders of the Eternal City. Then rent a car (trust me, it's about the most fun a driver can have) and boot around town, and then down to Amalfi Coast. You'll get your beach on down there, and you'll also be super close to culinary awesomeness, plus wicked stuff like Pompeii, Ercolano, and Vesuvio.
Then drive back to Roma for more delicious food, and downright amazing historical, architectural, and cultural places of interest.
August is considered "low season" in Italy because it's just...hot. So you can actually find some pretty good deals on hotels and stuff during that month.
