10 days in New York City Itinerary

Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.

Venture out of the city with trips to Coney Island (in Brooklyn), Bronx Zoo (in Bronx) and Philadelphia (Physick House, Wissahickon Valley Park, &more). And it doesn't end there: go for a walk through Central Park, learn more about the world around you at American Museum of Natural History, admire the landmark architecture of Grand Central Terminal, and walk around The High Line.
