15 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.

Kids will enjoy Central Park and Empire State Building. Change things up with these side-trips from New York City: Great Neck Steppingstone Park (in Great Neck), Mount Mitchill Scenic Overlook (in Atlantic Highlands) and Bronx Zoo (in Bronx). And it doesn't end there: explore the world behind art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, enjoy breathtaking views from Top of the Rock, admire the striking features of Grand Central Terminal, and go for a walk through The High Line.
