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 get in some beach time at Allenhurst Beach Club and Island Beach State Park. Visit Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt and 9/11 Memorial for their historical value. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Eastern State Penitentiary (in Philadelphia), Kowawese Unique Area at Plum Point (in New Windsor) and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets (in Central Valley). The adventure continues: wander the streets of Greenwich Village, race across the water with a speed boat tour, shop like a local with SoHo, and contemplate the long history of Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site.
