11 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 cultural itinerary includes sights like The Met Cloisters and Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Get outdoors at Independence National Historical Park and Speed Boats Tours. Change things up with these side-trips from New York City: Tuckerton Seaport (in Tuckerton), Hyde Park (Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, &more) and Philadelphia (Philadelphia Museum of Art, Eastern State Penitentiary, &more). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Ground Zero Museum Workshop, take a stroll through SoHo, admire the masterpieces at Frick Collection, and stop by Greenwich Village.
