Big Apple
Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.St. Patrick's Cathedral and Brooklyn Heights Promenade will appeal to history buffs. Museum-lovers will get to explore The Metropolitan Museum of Art and 9/11 Memorial. The adventure continues: go for a charming ride with a horse-drawn carriage tour, wander the streets of Fifth Avenue, explore the world behind art at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and take in panoramic vistas at Empire State Building.
