9 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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Gateway National Recreation and Ellis Island. Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Fifth Avenue and Times Square. Explore New York City's surroundings by going to Bronx Zoo (in Bronx), Ponquogue Beach (in Hampton Bays) and Jenkinson's Boardwalk (in Point Pleasant Beach). There's lots more to do: explore the galleries of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, don't miss a visit to Statue of Liberty National Monument, head off the coast to Fire Island National Seashore, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
