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 explore and learn at 9/11 Memorial and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Fifth Avenue and Yunhong Chopsticks. Step out of New York City to go to Oceanville and see Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, which is approximately 1h 55 min away. There's much more to do: make a trip to Times Square, see the interesting displays at New York Public Library, learn more about the world around you at American Museum of Natural History, and race across the water with a speed boat tour.
