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.

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like Central Park and Bronx Zoo. Take a break from New York City with a short trip to Coney Island in Brooklyn, about 30 minutes away. Next up on the itinerary: explore the world behind art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, learn more about the world around you at American Museum of Natural History, tour the pleasant surroundings at The High Line, and pause for some photo ops at 9/11 Memorial.
