Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.

You've added The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Radio City Music Hall, The Robert J. Novins Planetarium, and other attractions to your itinerary.

Change things up with these side-trips from New York City: Jenkinson's Aquarium (in Point Pleasant Beach), Ocean County Library (in Toms River) and St. James General Store (in Saint James). There's much more to do: get to know the fascinating history of Brooklyn Heights Promenade, don't miss a visit to Locust Grove Estate, steep yourself in history at Sunnyside, and deepen your understanding at No. 19 Washington Square.
