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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate 9/11 Memorial and St. Patrick's Cathedral. You'll explore and learn at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Get out of town with these interesting New York City side-trips: DM Weil Gallery (in New Paltz), Philadelphia (Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts & Kelly Drive) and Valley Forge National Historical Park (in Valley Forge). Next up on the itinerary: wander the streets of Fifth Avenue, stop by Dyker Heights, make a trip to Times Square, and take in panoramic vistas at Empire State Building.
