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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Greenwich Village and Dumbo. Washington Square Park and Williamsburg are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Venture out of the city with trips to Point Pleasant Beach (Jenkinson's Boardwalk & Point Pleasant Beach). There's still lots to do: take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Patrick's Cathedral, explore the world behind art at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), contemplate the long history of Ellis Island, and get a taste of the local shopping with Fifth Avenue.
