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.

Bring the kids along to Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Venture out of the city with trips to Coney Island (in Brooklyn) and Bronx Zoo (in Bronx). Next up on the itinerary: take in panoramic vistas at Empire State Building, appreciate the history behind 9/11 Memorial, admire the landmark architecture of Rockefeller Center, and learn more about the world around you at American Museum of Natural History.
