7 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.

Popular historic sites such as 9/11 Memorial and Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt are in your itinerary. You'll explore and learn at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Hot Sand. Change things up with these side-trips from New York City: Independence National Historical Park (in Philadelphia), Woodbury Common Premium Outlets (in Central Valley) and Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (in Oceanville). There's still lots to do: take a stroll through Dumbo, explore the world behind art at Frick Collection, walk around Washington Square Park, and don't miss a visit to Times Square.
