is that like Naked and Afraid but without a buddy?
Can't comment - haven't seen naked and afraid. This is more people dumped in the wilderness with camera gear, and 10 items of survival gear and left to it for as long as they can last - with the odd medical check to ensure they're not killing themselves

My wife's oldest just graduated from UNC and starts a job in Manhattan in June. He interned there this summer, and doesn't want to live in midtown or even the city. His girlfriend is probably moving up there with him, so he wants to check out some of the towns along some of the train lines. It is easier and cheaper to just take our car that comfortably fits 5 of us. If we flew, it would by 5 round trip tickets plus a rental car. My wife's parents live in western CT about an hour train ride from NYC, so we're going to celebrate Christmas with them.

On a different note, we are taking the train into the city on the 27th to see Spamalot.

Have him drop you guys off in Philly, then take the Amtrak up to CT. Let him drive around NYC checking out towns while you put your feet up.

if he does end up driving around nyc have him park in midtown.. A good NYC includes the grand marquee experiences AND some exploration of small neighborhoods and good hole-in-wall establishments, mostly traversed on foot:

NBC 30 Rock tour
Bryant Park Xmas stalls
McNally Jackson book store
Magnolia bakery
(Transit to Brooklyn)
Walk through Brooklyn waterfront park, to Brooklyn Heights, to Cobble Hill
Dinner at Petite Crevette on the BQE (and BYOB!)
