As I have no goal race yet until Boston next April, I think I'm going to take another stab at the half this Fall and see if this distance still haunts me. My goal would be something in the mid-1:30s.

The obvious choice is the Philadelphia Distance Run on Sept 17, but the course is kinda "ehhh" if you live in Philadelphia and the race got commercial and annoying when race management got turned over to an out-of-town for-profit company. Also, I've raced this many times already.
If I don't mind going out of town, the New York Road Runners Club puts on two half-marathons as part of their race series: Queens on Sept 23 and Staten Island on Oct 21. They are a lot cheaper, but after factoring in transportation, the cost is probably more than going to a Philly race. And I do mind going out of town if it's not some place new and pretty.
And there's the Liberty Waterfront Run in Jersey City on Sept 23. See above. And I don't want another PR set in Jersey.
I'm leaning towards the Philadelphia Half but am open to suggestions and discoveries until June 30, the early registration deadline.

Oh, Half-wit is trail, so I'm not doing it for time.
